Easier on the eyes and in the mouth, aligners use gentle and constant force to move teeth into the ideal position without going through the pain and hassle of metal wires or braces.

Treatment care with aligners
Though aligners are as easy on the mouth as they are on the eyes, there are certain things that patients need to be mindful of.
While specific instructions are given by the treating Orthodontist, certain common care measures are as follows:
Post-treatment care
Retain your alignment
Once your teeth straightening is done, it does not necessarily mean that period of care is over as well. Your Orthodontist may advise retainers (also invisible) which will prevent your teeth from shifting back to their previous position
Food habits
It may so happen that your teeth are extra-sensitive immediately after the treatment. Orthodontists may therefore advise to not consume food that is too crunchy for a few days. Let your newly aligned smile rest just a few days more before going back to those crunchy snacks
Don’t forget to brush
Keep up your twice a day brushing and flossing habits intact to keep maintain your newly rejuvenated Oral health post an aligner treatment. Not taking good care of your dental hygiene could dampen the positive effects of the treatment.
Keep in touch
Just because the aligner treatment is over does not mean your connect with the dentist needs to be over as well. Always connect with your dentist once every 6 months to ensure that your newfound smile and oral health remain intact.
