For Invisalign users, one of the biggest advantages of this treatment option is how moldable it is to their lifestyles. There is no need to avoid certain foods, as users can remove the aligners when they eat, brush their teeth afterward, and pop the aligner back in their mouth. The removable nature of Invisalign means there is less chance of food getting lodged or stuck behind your device, which decreases your chances of plaque buildup and tooth decay. Best of all, unlike those with braces, you don’t have to avoid crisp apples or crunchy crusts! When considering Invisalign, keep in mind that the treatment plan’s easy, moldable style doesn’t come without responsibility. Because the aligners can be removed from the mouth, the onus for care is put on the patient, as they must remember to wear their aligners. It’s vital to brush your teeth and rinse after eating to avoid food particles clinging between your teeth and your aligners. This will also keep the device clean and functioning throughout the duration of your use. Regardless of the minor responsibilities required of Invisalign users, there is no denying the simple, comfortable nature of Invisalign.
