Invisalign Success: All you need to know
- Wear trays all the time; 24 hours a day, all day, all night, eating, sleeping, except when cleaning your teeth or trays. Minimize sugar/acidic intake.
- Always brush and rinse after every meal and floss at least every night.
- Continue to wear trays, even in the rare instance if they break.
- If you lose your current tray, you must not have been wearing them. So, put on your previous tray and call us for further instructions.
- Any lost attachment(s) will be replaced (if necessary) at your next appointment if needed, unless we have otherwise specified.
- Any gum irritation can easily be solved with the ortho wax supplied in the tray case. You can buy more from the pharmacy, if needed.
- While uncommon, if needed for some soreness Motrin/Advil/Ibuprofen can be taken if you can tolerate any medication or medical conditions you may have. If unsure, call your physician.
- Avoid staining foods with yellow dyes: turmeric, mustard, mac & cheese, etc…
