INVISIBLE BRACES ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS TRADITIONAL BRACES.
INVISIBLE ALIGNER TREATMENT IS FASTER OR SLOWER THAN OTHER TYPES.
CHILDREN CAN’T USE CLEAR ALIGNERS.
The answer is yes, children can wear aligners such as invisible aligners. As long as the child’s teeth have developed to an appropriate stage, the treatment is just as safe and as effective for children as it is for adults. That being said, aligner treatment requires care and responsibility.
Firstly, Dr. says that if your child hasn’t lost all of their baby teeth (full permanent dentition has not yet occurred) and their permanent teeth haven’t come in yet, then they aren’t eligible for invisible aligners OR braces. You need to wait until all of your child’s permanent teeth have grown first.
Myth # 4:-Â
CLEAR ALIGNERS REQUIRE LESS ATTENTION TO ORAL HYGIENE.Â
The popularity of adult clear braces continues to grow, and these amazing aligners allow easy removal for eating. Taking care of your teeth and practicing good oral hygiene during invisible aligner treatment will give you beautiful results and a healthy smile. Let’s cover the orthodontist-recommended cleaning procedures, daily habits to practice, and what you should carry with you to maintain good hygiene with invisible aligners.HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR INVISIBLE ALIGNERS
As your clear braces work to straighten teeth, they must be very tight-fitting and will develop a film on both the inside and outside surfaces. They should be cleaned several times a day to prevent yellowing and odor. Here’s how to do the best job getting your aligners clean:- Brush the trays whenever you brush your teeth.
- Wash them with clear antibacterial hand soap and rinse thoroughly as needed.
- Always clean, or at least rinse, your aligners before storing them in the case.
- Soak your aligners once daily in denture cleaner or invisible aligners cleaning crystals.
- Only replace your aligner on freshly brushed and flossed teeth.
DAILY HABITS FOR MAINTAINING GOOD HYGIENE WITH INVISIBLE ALIGNERS.
Your clear braces will fit right into your active lifestyle if you keep just a few things in mind:
- Stop wearing lip gloss or lipstick, which can adhere to the aligners and interfere with their grip on the teeth. Colored lip products can stain the aligners or be trapped against a tooth and cause discoloration. Clear lip balm can be used for dry or chapped lips.
- Avoid hot drinks that cause stains, such as coffee and black tea. The combination of heat and strong colors can stain your aligners over time, just as they stain teeth. By holding the liquid against your teeth, the tendency to stain is increased. If you do enjoy a coffee, remove your aligner, then clean your teeth before replacing it.
- Ask your invisible aligners orthodontist about your unique hobbies, activities, and lifestyle. With the goal in mind of wearing your aligners at least 22 hours per day, making sure that you know how to care for your braces and the teeth inside them under any scenario will keep you involved in sports or travel without worries.
