Of course, these details aren\u2019t set in stone; you can fall off-track with your original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milton-orthodontics.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> treatment plan if you don\u2019t implement the right best practices. If this happens to you, don\u2019t get discouraged. Instead, keep reading to learn five must-know tips for preventing that from occurring in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Use Invisalign Chewies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To gradually guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions, your trays need to be placed snugly against your teeth. To ensure they are, ask your orthodontist for a \u201cchewie.\u201d To use it, you simply bite down on it after putting the aligners in your mouth. Doing so will ensure that they are in the right place and prevent \u201chalos,\u201d which are the empty spaces that happen when they aren\u2019t on correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Meet Your 22-Hour-a-Day Wear Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting the 22-hour-a-day wear time is essential. After all, the aligners only work when they are in your mouth. So, you should limit your time without them to just when you\u2019re eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. A good routine to get into is 15 minutes for breakfast, 30 minutes for lunch, and 45 minutes for dinner. The remaining time can be dedicated to cleaning your teeth and your aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Take Really Good Care of Your Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who wants to wear stained, gross-smelling trays? To keep yours in tip-top shape (which consequently encourages you to keep wearing them!) make sure to implement a solid oral hygiene regimen. That starts with brushing and flossing after each meal and extends to getting a dental cleaning every six months. You should also use your toothbrush to gently brush your aligners. If they start to discolor or smell, then use the cleaning crystals to give your trays a deeper clean. To meet your wear time, soak them while you\u2019re eating one of your meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Keep Your Aligners in a Protective Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrapping your aligners in a napkin may seem convenient at the time, but this bad habit can result in them accidentally getting thrown away or misplaced. Since this will quickly prevent you from meeting the recommended wear time, it\u2019s of the utmost importance that you always place them in their designated storage case when they aren\u2019t in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. Switch Your Trays on the Right Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some patients are asked to switch their trays every seven days, others do so every 10 or 14 days. Keeping up with this schedule is crucial \u2013 your results depend on it! If you\u2019re having trouble remembering, try setting a reminder on your phone. You can also get the Invisalign app, which will send you reminders when it\u2019s time to change your aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falling off-track with your Invisalign treatment timeline can be discouraging. Fortunately, you can use the above tips to prevent it from happening again in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milton-orthodontics.com\/\">Milton Orthodontics<\/a>, our highly experienced orthodontist and exceptional team are here to make your Invisalign treatment as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
