Invisalign in Lewisville<\/a>\noffers patients a clear alternative to traditional metal braces. These clear\naligners make it possible to not only achieve a straighter smile, but you can do\nit in a way that eliminates an unnecessary spotlight on your treatment. Whether\nyou\u2019re preparing to begin your journey with this truly unique solution or you\u2019re\nstill considering your options, find out what you can expect while living with\nInvisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Does Invisalign Effect What I Eat and Drink?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, no, Invisalign will not keep you from enjoying\nthe foods and drinks you love. One of the great aspects of wearing clear\naligners is that you\u2019ll need to remove them prior to eating, drinking, and\ncleaning them. This is due to the fact that the trays cannot withstand the\npressure of chewing and biting, so feel free to keep your aligners in a\nprotective case while you enjoy that nice, juicy steak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Invisalign Change How I Talk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the initial stages of wearing Invisalign, you might\nnotice a slight change in your speech, but over time, this will become nonexistent.\nYour tongue will need some time to adjust pushing against something other than\nyour normal teeth but don\u2019t worry, after a short time, you\u2019ll be speaking\nnormally again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can I Keep My Aligners Clean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can opt to purchase some of the Invisalign branded\ncleaning products, or, if you prefer, you can use your normal toothbrush,\nclear\/antibacterial soap, and lukewarm water. You\u2019ll want to make sure to clean\nyour aligners each morning and night. It\u2019s also important that you brush and\nfloss your teeth after eating because of the possible transferring of bacteria\nto your trays. It\u2019s also important to remember never to use hot water on your\ntrays, as it will warp the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Invisalign Give Me Bad Breath?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As long as you clean and take care of your mouth and\naligners, you won\u2019t need to worry about bad breath. If bacteria is allowed to\ngrow on your tongue, teeth, and gums, it can lead to halitosis (bad breath),\nand if your aligners are not cleaned regularly, expect others to stay distant.\nHowever, with proper care, you can enjoy a healthy, fresh breath while being\ntreated with Invisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Still Play an Instrument with Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is dependent on the type of instrument you\u2019re playing.\nIt also depends on your personal preference. Some people who play wind or brass\ninstruments (i.e. flute, trumpet, etc.) might find it easier to remove their\naligners prior to playing. If this is your situation, make sure to keep them in\na protective case and reinsert them as soon as you\u2019ve finished playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will I Still Be Able to Kiss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to pucker up because Invisalign won\u2019t keep you\nfrom kissing. The aligners are subtle and hardly noticeable. Plus, unlike\ntraditional braces that protrude and make it more difficult to lock lips,\nInvisalign is smooth and fits comfortably on your teeth. You won\u2019t have to\nworry about your aligners falling out or hard metal brackets scraping against\nyour partner\u2019s teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Invisalign, you don\u2019t need to make any big adjustments\nto your day-to-day routine. Your cosmetic dentist in Lewisville will make sure\nto review the entire process with you during your initial consultation, but if\nyou have questions as to what you can expect or how Invisalign will impact a\ncertain part of your life, don\u2019t hesitate to ask during your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
