Dental hygiene tips for healthy teeth & gums
How should teeth look after Invisalign?
Invisalign is quite possibly the most well-known orthodontic procedure since it eliminates the need for annoying, metal braces while still being able to perform the same function.
Nonetheless, there’s as yet a large question among patients puzzling over whether to opt-in for Invisalign?
What should my teeth look like after Invisalign treatment is completed?
For the most part, after your aligners are removed, your teeth should look straight.
Gaps should seem minimal and there should not be any crowding between your teeth.
If you notice any crooked or twisted teeth before treatment, you should only see straight teeth when you smile.
Moreover, you’ll also be able to notice that chewing and biting things will be much easier.
How long do I need to wear a retainer?
- Once your aligners are removed, you’ll need to wear your retainers for at least 22 hours a day, or as suggested by your orthodontist. For the most part, they’ll recommend that you wear your retainers for as long as a half year after your treatment is finished.
- When this period is finished, you’ll just have to wear your retainer at night for an additional half year. However, to prevent your teeth from shifting back into place, it’s suggested that you wear your retainers a few times a night every week.
Will I need to wear a retainer after my treatment?
Most people loathe the possibility of metal retainers after their treatment. After all, they chose to wear clear aligners rather than metal braces in the first place. Nonetheless, wearing retainers after your treatment is staggeringly significant. This will guarantee that your teeth won’t head back to their old position.
Moreover, wearing a retainer will make sure your jaw, while it’s now soft, has enough time to keep your teeth in their new position while it’s rehardening.
Fortunately, there are some clear retainer options to choose from, if you’re not into metal retainers.
