To achieve the best results on your journey to straighter teeth, it’s essential that you’re equipped with all the facts to ensure your Invisalign brace transforms your smile quickly and discretely.
What to Expect with Invisalign Cosmetic Dentistry?
As with any form of cosmetic dentistry, there are a number of factors to be aware of throughout your treatment.
How to Eat with an Invisalign Brace?
Unlike traditional wired braces, Invisalign uses clear retainers that realign your teeth until your perfect smile is achieved.
The benefit of this is that you can take your retainer out to eat and clean it; simply remove it at mealtimes, brush your teeth after eating, and then put your brace back in!
Find out how to properly care for your Invisalign brace.
What Can You Eat When Wearing Invisalign?
Since you remove your braces to eat, you don’t have to adhere to a strict diet or avoid specific foods. However, it is recommended that you avoid the following when wearing your Invisalign brace:
- Sugary drinks and alcohol (including beer and wine)
- All forms of smoking and nicotine products
- Chewing gum and chewy sweets
Although it is possible to remove your retainer, you should wear your Invisalign brace for 20 – 22 hours a day in order to achieve your desired results within the correct time frame.
Do Aligners Affect Your Speech?
Initially, you may notice a slight change in your speech when you begin wearing your Invisalign retainers. This is normal and once you get used to wearing your clear brace it is highly unlikely that it will continue to affect your speech.
