Top 4 Ways To Speed Up The Invisalign Treatment

Posted by Nakfoor Orthodontics on November 30th, 2020

The popularity of Invisalign in Arlington Heights, to say the least, has exploded in the last few years. Rightly so, not only is this treatment highly effective, cost-friendly, and painless but the aligners also pose a major benefit of being nearly invisible. Now, the Invisalign in Rolling Meadows treatment time is basically anywhere between 12-18 months but in this post, we have included some tips, techniques, and basics that will help you speed up the process.

Wear your aligners

Yes, first things first, always wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day or as per the recommendation from your orthodontist. For the remaining 1-2 hours, you must eat, drink or clean your aligners. It has been medically proven that patients who strictly wear their aligners for at least 20 hours a day are able to finish their Invisalign process much faster. In contrast to the patients who do not wear their aligners for the designated time.

Brush your teeth properly

Apart from brushing your teeth twice a day, you must brush your teeth properly before putting the aligners on your teeth as well. This is because when we eat or drink some number of bacteria get mixed with the saliva that later settles on the teeth. Now, when people wear the aligners without brushing their teeth the same bacteria affect the aligners as well. They thereafter sometimes either break down the aligners or worse cause severe damage to them.

Clean the aligners every day

Now, this is a rather common Invisalign in Arlington Heights tip. However, the problem is that most patients believe that just like their teeth they must clean their aligners with regular toothbrushes and toothpaste as well. This is actually not the case. Regular toothbrushes usually have hard-bristles that often cause scratches on the aligners. The use of regular toothpaste on the other hand often creates small cavities in the aligners where bacteria thereafter enter and hide. Now, to avoid such a situation, always make it a point to use Invisalign cleaning crystals only. These crystals are specially formulated to clean the aligners and as such can be easily procured from any dental facility.

Avoid hard foods

Aligners needless to say are quite delicate. They, therefore, call for extra care and caution. It is due to this reason it is usually advisable to avoid hard foods such as nuts, apricots, etc while wearing aligners to avoid damaging them. Likewise, as a pro tip avoid consuming sugary drinks as well during the course of your treatment to avoid tooth cavities which can further delay the Invisalign treatment time.
