The Keys To Effective Invisalign Treatment
To make things even simpler, Hinsdale Dentistry offers digital impressions with the iTero system. These impressions allow us to craft aligners that perfectly fit your changing teeth, and keep your treatment on-point and on-schedule (without ever putting you through the mess and discomfort of standard impressions).
Emerging From Invisalign With A Perfect Smile
In this case, “perfect” means both beautiful and healthy. One key thing to remember during orthodontic treatment is that the extra material in your mouth can lead to a heightened chance of cavities and gum disease. It’s easier for food particles and plaque to gather around the orthodontics, leaving your teeth exposed to harmful acids and bacteria.
This is why oral hygiene during Invisalign is crucial. Be sure to carry a travel toothbrush and small floss in your briefcase or purse, so that you can clean even on the go. If you stay vigilant, you’ll emerge from treatment with a disease-free, straight, and super-happy smile!
