Things to keep in mind when wearing Invisalign braces to achieve high efficiency
Unlike with braces, you will see the outside surface of the tooth crown showing the brackets and wires when using this orthodontic method. However, unlike braces, Invisalign will help you improve your aesthetics. Please pay a little attention when getting braces!
Make sure the braces tray
So that the braces tray is always clean and bright white. You should clean the braces tray after each use. In particular, you should remove the braces before eating and drinking carbonated drinks. To prevent the braces from sticking to food and causing yellowing on the braces. A small note, after every meal you should brush your teeth to remove food particles that are not stuck on your teeth.
Cleaning the brace tray is a very important step. Helps maintain bright whiteness and limit bacteria from sticking to the braces tray. You can clean your aligners easily with Invisalign cleaning solution or you can just brush your braces with toothpaste (as you would your daily brushing routine). This is how to take care of braces during orthodontics.
Remove braces
When is it appropriate to remove braces? That is when, you are in the process of eating. Because the braces are easily removable, eating is not too difficult for you. However, when you remove the braces, still make sure to clean the mouth tray and make sure the braces are always clean. That’s how you limit the risk of the braces becoming yellow or cracked.
Regular re-examination
To achieve effectiveness throughout the orthodontic process. You should listen to your dentist’s advice:
- Wear the braces for at least 22 consecutive hours a day. Do not remove braces for 4 consecutive hours
- Change braces as prescribed by your doctor. Usually, braces are worn every 2 weeks/1 tray. However, if your braces are stretched. You should go to the dentist to get a new braces tray so that the braces process is not interrupted.
- Check your oral health periodically at least every 6 months or once a year
- During the process of wearing the braces, you experience signs of significant pain or discomfort. It’s best to stop using the braces and contact your orthodontist directly.
How to remove and install smart braces
How to wear the trays braces
First, you must determine which is the upper tray for the upper jaw and the lower tray for the lower jaw. In particular, you must wash your hands or disinfect your hands before installing the braces. Each brace tray will be engraved with the letter, “U” for the upper tray or “L” for the lower tray
Next, you can operate the upper and lower trays respectively. You can do it the opposite way. Gently hold the brace tray with two fingers and place it on the upper teeth. Then, apply pressure to the tops of the left and right molars until you hear a “Click” sound. At this point, the braces align to the position you desire.
After, you wear the braces for your upper jaw, upper jaw tray, and lower jaw tray. You should also use rubber bites by biting evenly from back to front. This step is extremely important in the process of installing the braces to help the braces fit closer to the teeth and withstand pressure better.
How to wear braces
Similar to the way we install braces. First, wash or disinfect your hands to make them clean. Remove the braces from the inside of the upper or lower teeth, slowly pull the tray out of the jaw.
Next, do the same on the other side. Once you have removed the aligners from your jaw on both sides, you can slowly move forward, gently pulling the aligners away from your teeth with your fingertips.
