One thing is certain, whether the individual seeking orthodontic treatment is a teenager or an adult: the embarrassment associated with wearing braces is a thing of the past. People nowadays want to have a more aligned and straighter smile as discreetly as possible.
With the Invisalign treatment, patients can get their teeth straightened without feeling awkward with the traditional metal braces.
Here are a few things you can do to be ready for the Invisalign treatment.
- Before starting Invisalign treatment, your dentist will most likely want to complete any other necessary dental work first. Wisdom tooth extraction is often necessary for the teeth to be correctly aligned and restorations if any decay is detected.
- Individuals who go through Invisalign treatment will not have to worry about food being trapped in them since the aligners must be removed before eating.
- A simple weighing and washing
It’s a good idea to see your local dentist a week before obtaining Invisalign for a quick checkup and cleaning. This ensures that your teeth are in excellent condition and free of plaque prior to the placement of your Invisalign.
Remember that you’ll still need to see your dentist on a regular basis throughout orthodontic treatment, but it’s a good idea to have your teeth and gums in good shape before starting the Invisalign process.
Meanwhile, while you count down the days before you receive your Invisalign, you should focus more on your dental hygiene routine. Always brush and floss your teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, paying careful attention to the crevices.
- Make sure to schedule your appointments with us ahead of time. We will want to see you in the practice at different stages during your treatment plan to confirm that everything is going well. We will help you in arranging bookings for brief trips at times that are convenient for you.
- Cavities must be filled before Invisalign may be used. You may get orthodontic therapy without filling your cavities. It is typically better, though, to have your dentist fix your cavities first. As a consequence, you will prevent the pain, discomfort, swelling, and even hazards associated with neglecting cavities for too long. If you have cavities, an orthodontist will advise you on the next steps.
- Take a picture of yourself! We are certain that you will love seeing the before and after images of yourself that we will take during the procedure.
