Before you receive your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestclevelandsmiles.com\/invisalign.html\">clear aligners<\/a>, though, your dentist says it\u2019s important to know how to care for them. Read on to learn why Invisalign in Parma Heights is an excellent option and what to do to maintain them.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are Invisalign Aligners?<\/h2>\n<p>Invisalign aligners are custom-made from BPA-free plastic. The clear trays come as a full series, each set designed to accommodate the position of your teeth at each stage of the treatment process.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the steps to the procedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3-D Imaging<\/strong> \u2013 Your dentist will first take a series of 3-D images using advanced technology that will allow him or her to map out the entire treatment process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bite Impressions <\/strong>\u2013 Additionally, bite impressions will be taken, and along with the other data, they will be sent to a trusted lab that will fabricate the entire treatment set of clear aligners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retrieval <\/strong>\u2013 When your Invisalign aligners are ready, you\u2019ll be invited back to your dentist\u2019s office to retrieve them, and you\u2019ll also be given instructions to wear each set for two weeks and discard them for the next set in the series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you pick up your full set of aligners, it\u2019s important to know how to care for them properly so you can get the maximum benefits.<\/p>\n<h2>Invisalign Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>When caring for your aligners, keep these tips in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Remove Them Before Eating or Drinking <\/strong>\u2013 Being able to remove your Invisalign aligners before eating may seem like a great perk, but it\u2019s actually a necessity. Eating or drinking (anything other than water) while wearing your aligners can damage them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the Aligners Regularly <\/strong>\u2013 If your aligners aren\u2019t cleaned on a regular basis, they can become like a petri dish, full of bacteria. Keep in mind that they fit snuggly against your teeth, which creates the perfect environment for bacteria growth. Thus, cleaning your trays regularly will guard against the related oral health problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store Properly <\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s important to never leave your aligners in a place like your car or anywhere else where they\u2019ll be exposed to heat. This could cause them to warp. Also, be sure to keep your trays dry and carefully secured so they aren\u2019t lost.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid Soaking in Mouthwash <\/strong>\u2013 There are products designed specifically for cleaning your aligners, so be sure to never soak them in mouthwash. The coloring pigment found in them could stain your trays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By keeping these tips in mind, you can enjoy a better experience with your Invisalign clear aligners and go on to have a beautiful smile.
