\"CloseupStarting Invisalign<\/a> treatment is exciting \u2014 you can achieve your dream smile in a discreet and flexible way. However, before you set your heart on Invisalign in Copperas Cove, you should make sure it\u2019s right for you and your lifestyle. In this post, your dentist explains five truths about Invisalign to know before you try it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You Have to Be Dedicated<\/h3>\n

To achieve your desired results, you need to be self-disciplined enough to actually wear them. The aligners should be kept in for 20-22 hours a day. Because Invisalign is removable \u2014 and needs to be taken out before meals and brushing your teeth \u2014 you may have to carefully schedule your time.<\/p>\n

Invisibility is one of the main advantages of Invisalign, so you also have to be committed to proper cleaning. You\u2019ll need to brush between every meal to prevent food particles from staining your aligners. However, when cleaning your aligners, never use toothpaste. This can turn them a murky yellow.<\/p>\n

Your Mouth Will Need to Adjust<\/h3>\n

As with any orthodontic treatment, you will experience an adjustment period during the first few days. Invisalign is painless, but your teeth may be sensitive at first. It\u2019s also possible that your speech may be affected for a short period. While many patients report no issues with talking, you might experience a slight lisp as you get used to your aligners.<\/p>\n

Invisalign Isn\u2019t for Everyone<\/h3>\n

Invisalign can treat most orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, bite issues and gapped teeth. However, it might not be well-suited for severe cases. Complex orthodontic issues may get quicker results with metal braces or surgery.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll Have to Cut Back on Coffee<\/h3>\n

Drinking anything that can stain your teeth\u2014most notoriously coffee, wine and tea\u2014will also stain your Invisalign. While you can enjoy these drinks during your meal periods, you won\u2019t be able to sip on them throughout the day. Anytime you consume these drinks, you\u2019ll have to brush your teeth afterwards. Those who rely on multiple cups of joe in the mornings might have to find a different way to start their days.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Easier on Your Mouth Than Metal Braces<\/h3>\n

As mentioned before, Invisalign is virtually painless. You won\u2019t have to suffer through getting them tightened like with metal braces. Invisalign also won\u2019t cut your mouth or result in sores. Treatment time with Invisalign is generally faster than with metal braces. The average treatment takes one year, although your specific needs may lengthen or shorten this amount.<\/p>\n

Although Invisalign needs to be adjusted to, the transition isn\u2019t any more difficult than what metal braces or other orthodontic appliances would require. If you\u2019re interested in Invisalign, talk to your dentist to see if the treatment is right for you.<\/p>\n
