Invisalign Bowling Green

The transparency of Invisalign aligners makes them an ideal orthodontic solution, and the fact that they are removable is just a bonus. You can take them out before consuming food or beverages other than water, and while brushing and flossing your teeth. Easier access to your oral cavity makes oral hygiene maintenance a breeze. Taking good care of your teeth during treatment with Invisalign is essential for optimal results.

You don't have to worry about food restrictions since you can remove the aligners when eating or drinking. Invisalign allows you to eat all of your favorite foods while you work on your straighter smile. This is pretty significant since food restrictions are often the biggest learning curve with traditional braces. It's important to remove aligners before eating to prevent staining, and clean and rinse them regularly with warm water.

It is also worth noting that Invisalign does not require any adjustments, and there are no wires to poke out and irritate your mouth. Invisalign aligner wearers are still expected to attend follow-up appointments every 6-8 weeks so that Dr. Compton can ensure that your teeth are making good progress.

Your aligners will be worn for two weeks, and you can remove them only to eat, drink, brush, or floss. As the aligners are replaced with the next one in the series, your teeth will move gradually, until they reach the new and improved position.

On your visits to Compton Orthodontics, we'll monitor your progress. Wearing and changing aligners as instructed is a key factor in getting the smile you want with Bowling Green Invisalign. Your trays will be made-to-measure to meet your dental demands, which must be changed regularly to keep up with the teeth's straightening. Not following the routine or skipping appointments could undo any advances that have been made.

It is important to take into account how each patient individually responds to orthodontic treatment. With Invisalign, the process of straightening your teeth is non-invasive and different from traditional braces. An average length for treatment falls between 6 to 18 months, however this can vary greatly depending on the patient's consistency with their program. To ensure you get maximum results in the shortest amount of time, it is essential that you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily during the entire course of treatment. Deviating from this can lead to an increased treatment time. If you're interested in learning more about Invisalign in Bowling Green, please call us and schedule a consultation.
