Invisalign is the most popular way to straighten teeth, helping patients achieve predictable, visible, and beautiful results. Huls Orthodontics is proud to provide our patients with this convenient and effective treatment by offering Invisalign in Monticello and Champaign, IL. Huls is a family orthodontist, providing comprehensive care and support from childhood to adulthood to guarantee results that last a lifetime. If you’re considering straightening your teeth with Invisalign, that’s very exciting! Here are five pointers for adjusting to life with Invisalign.
1) Develop a Strong Routine
Invisalign can deliver incredible results, but only when worn consistently. Wear your aligners for 22 hours a day every day, even at night, and only remove them to eat, drink, clean your teeth, or play sports. Diligence is the only way to get fast results from Invisalign.
2) Take Good Care of Aligners
Invisalign aligners are customized with extreme detail to fit your teeth perfectly while providing targeted pressure to gently shift them into place, so don’t lose them! You can get replacement aligners from your orthodontist, but that adds to treatment time. Avoid breaking or warping aligners by keeping them in their case when not in use, and clean them carefully every day.
3) Remember: It’s Not For Very Long
If it ever feels annoying to have to wear your Invisalign aligners, just remember treatment only takes an average of 12 to 18 weeks. Instead of leaving them at home when you go on that date, wear them every chance you get and you’ll be finished with them sooner!
4) Get Used to Seeing Beautiful Results Every Day
The best thing about Invisalign aligners is that they’re nearly invisible. No one will know you’ve got them on, and you’ll be able to watch as your smile transforms before your eyes, with visible results in just a few weeks.
5) Keep Up With Appointments
Carefully keep track of orthodontist appointments in your calendar, so you can hit every progress milestone and address any issues that arise. At Huls Orthodontics, we use digital imaging software to map the entire treatment before you even begin, and we’ll monitor your progress to deliver the predicted results.
