Alborzi Orthodontics - September/October 2022

Want to Finish Your Treatment Fast?

YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR PART

Nobody wants to be in orthodontic treatment for an extended period of time. Ideally, we want to finish treatment as quickly as possible, and that’s just how we design our orthodontic plans for each patient. Each treatment plan is designed with the idea

Since you need to wear your aligners for up to 22 hours each day, it’s important to put them back in your mouth as soon as possible after eating. Set timers to ensure you remember: 15 minutes for a snack, 30 minutes for lunch, and an hour for dinner. Also make sure you

that it will be quick and efficient while providing our patients with the best results possible. While we do everything in our power to speed up the process of treatment, there are things you can do at home to finish your treatment as planned.

brush, floss, and rinse your teeth before putting your aligners back in. Once your aligners are back in, use the chewies to close the air bubbles between your aligners and teeth.

Additionally, you need to change your aligners as prescribed. Set reminders and make sure your aligners fit before changing them. If you lose an aligner, move on to the next one and wear it for a full week. If you’re going on vacation, bring an extra set with you.

One of the most important things you can do is wear your aligners for the recommended amount of time each day. This means you need to keep them in your mouth for 20–22 hours every day. You also

need to ensure you continue to brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. Whenever you brush your teeth, you should also make an effort to brush your aligners. If you’re unable to brush after eating, make sure you swish and swallow water before putting your aligner back in your mouth.

By following these guidelines, you are on the fast track toward a healthy and beautiful smile. Sometimes you can even beat our estimated end date by including VPro and Micro-Osteoperforation in your treatment plan. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
