Deciding to see an Invisalign® dentist is the first step in making a decision to change your teeth for the better. The question many people have is why they should choose the Invisalign® system over the traditional braces. From a perspective of all the great food that you are going to want to try this summer, it is an easy choice. With the traditional braces, your primary function is to make sure they do not get damaged. This means avoiding any food that is so hard that it may damage the braces, avoiding any food that is so sticky that it might get stuck in the braces, and avoiding food that can be messy. The restrictions are so severe that there is a veritable laundry list of foods that you must not have, foods you should avoid, and foods that are difficult to eat.
With Invisalign®, you do not have to worry about food restrictions. This is because Invisalign® is designed for maximum comfort and is completely removable, allowing you to eat whatever you want. Naturally there are things we do not want you to eat when you are going through the treatment, but, for the most part, there are very few things you cannot eat. Simply remove the Invisalign® aligners and put them in a safe place. After you are done eating, you will want to make sure to thoroughly clean your teeth and then replace the aligners. Cleaning your teeth is one vital step since it makes sure that no food gets stuck between the aligners and the enamel. Otherwise, you can enjoy summer parties without worrying about your teeth or how you are treating them. To learn more call our Invisalign® dentist office.
