Do you want to have straighter teeth with Invisalign? Maybe you are in need of a way to make the process quicker. Following the instructions of the orthodontist works, but, there are some other basic guidelines you will need to follow. They will help you shorten your treatment duration.
You can contact us for your Invisalign treatment. We will offer you an Invisalign discount to enable you to start up quickly and finish in good time.
Now, back to having a quicker treatment; you can try out the following basic guidelines:
- Using AcceleDent
AcceleDent offers you an excellent opportunity to speed up your treatment. This system (AcceleDent) will help move your teeth quickly so that you can proceed to the next set of aligners. Your teeth will still move without AcceleDent; however, the system will apply more force on the teeth to take them to the desired position in no time. This pressure comes as micro pulses which are sent to your teeth to help remodel your jawbone. When you use AcceleDent, your teeth will move 50% faster than if you were using only aligners.
- Wearing your aligners for not less than 22 hours daily
Invisalign gives you the luxury of wearing and removing your braces whenever you want. However, this can be a disadvantage if not adhered to. To have a successful treatment, you need to wear your braces for up to 22 hours every day. As easy as this may sound, you need to be disciplined to meet this target. The 22 hours cover the day and night; the remaining 2 hours is given as the time you use in eating and cleaning your mouth.
Circumstances may arise that will cause you to fail to wear your braces for as long as you should. Try to avoid them and know that the only way you can complete treatment on time is to stick to the daily target of 22 hours.
- Always brush your teeth before wearing your aligners
Do not think that Invisalign clear brackets will act as a shield for dirty teeth. Maybe they will. But, do you know that pausing your treatment for cavity and other dental works will delay your treatment and having a dirty mouth will cause you to hold more saliva that will damage your aligners. This will make them weak and less effective.
So, you need to brush your teeth immediately after eating — this is to prevent your aligners from being weak when you put them on.
- Cleaning your aligners
It is funny to believe that toothbrush and paste is enough to clean your brackets. In fact, toothpaste can hurt your aligners by scratching them and causing them to have tiny holes which bacteria can hide. It is in this area that the bacteria will weaken the brackets and make them less effective. When this happens, all you need to do is get a new set of aligners, and this will also contribute to delay in your treatment.
- Using an attachment if recommended by your orthodontist
Back in the days, Invisalign was only used to treat old orthodontic cases. Now, there are many improvements, and Invisalign can now treat a wide range of cases. This Improvement has introduced the use of buttons which are attachments to help put more pressure on the teeth and to enable them to move faster. AcceleDent uses this attachment to quicken the treatment
- Being gentle with your aligners
The aligners are generally comfortable so, you may forget that you are wearing something when you have it on for so long. Patients who forget that they are wearing the aligners may end up eating with them, and this may damage them or reduce efficiency.
Commonly, we notice aligners break when they are used in eating. If they don’t break, they may chip or get stained with the colour of the food. You should be careful enough to take out your aligners when you want to eat or brush. In case of a broken aligner, contact your orthodontist for a replacement. This may take a few days and may slow down your treatment
- Keeping in touch with your orthodontist
If you ever get to feel your Invisalign treatment is not going as quickly as you want it, talk to your orthodontist. He can recommend other ways of speeding up the process. The guidelines we have given above may be ideal; however, you will still need the recommendations of your orthodontist for the ideal treatment. He will examine your teeth and determine your eligibility for option one.
Also, your bad habits can influence the treatments so, speaking with your orthodontist may enable him to detect one or two habits.
