<< More From Barakat Orthodontics
Did you know over 14 million people, including over 4 million teens, have used Invisalign clear aligners to transform their smiles? The Invisalign system uses custom-fitted clear aligners to gently yet effectively move your teeth into their proper orientation.
As a popular choice for all ages, it’s important to keep up with your oral hygiene while using them. Here are a few tips and tricks:
• After wearing your clear aligners for 20-22 hours a day, consider cleaning your aligner trays when you take them out to eat so they’ll be sanitized and ready once you’re done with your meal.
• It’s important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush, antibacterial soap, and cool water to clean your clear aligners — these are gentle ways to avoid damage.
• Make sure to clean your teeth after you eat so that the clear aligner will fit over your teeth properly and without bacterial buildup that could lead to tooth or gum damage.
• Set a daily reminder to ensure you wear your aligners for the recommended time.
• Make sure to complete your “Barakat On Trac scans” weekly so Dr. Barakat and Dr. Mojarrad can follow along with your progress.
