Once you\u2019ve finished your series of trays, you can be sure to enjoy a perfectly straight smile! While the process sounds simple enough, you\u2019ll have to follow a strict 20\u201322-hour wear time to keep up your progress. Fortunately, there are ways you can make the treatment more manageable from the start. Read on to learn five tips on how to prepare for Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: Limit Your Snacking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you eat or drink something (other than water), you\u2019ll have to remove your aligners beforehand. For this reason, you can begin reducing how frequently you snack throughout the day. The more time spent without your trays on, the longer the treatment will take. Try eating leaner meats or fiber-rich meals\u2014such as fruits, nuts, and veggies\u2014to keep yourself fuller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Practice Cleaning After Each Meal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A major change in habit is having to clean your teeth and trays after every meal. However, you can always practice this before you start the process, that way it feels natural once you begin! Whether you\u2019re out with friends or having dinner at a restaurant, try cleaning your teeth during this time so you become familiar and comfortable with the habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Assemble Your Dental Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you\u2019ll need to maintain good dental hygiene at home <em>and<\/em> on-the-go, it\u2019s a good idea to create a dental kit. There are plenty of travel-sized toothbrushes, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and flosses to help you keep your teeth and aligners clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Gather Other Useful Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will give you the Invisalign trays and storage case, but you can also collect other helpful items to make the process smoother. There are orthodontic appliances that can help you remove your aligners more easily, and it never hurts to take OTC pain relievers for when your teeth are getting accustomed to each series of trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #5: Plan for the Cost of Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of making the Invisalign treatment as stress-free as possible is to have a financial plan. You can always ask your dentist if they accept dental insurance, that way you save money and avoid any surprises down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By building these habits and planning ahead, you can be well prepared for Invisalign. Not only will you help make the process smooth sailings, but you\u2019ll be that much closer to achieving your straightened smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Dean Levy received his dental doctorate from the Boston University School of Dental Medicine.
