Despite that, patients often run into some surprises during their consultation and treatment. To be as prepared and informed as possible, read on to learn a few things you should know before getting Invisalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You May Need Attachments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients often think that Invisalign relies on just the clear aligners to achieve the beautiful results they are known for. In reality, additional tools, like attachments, are often needed. These \u201cbuttons\u201d give your trays something to grip onto, allowing patients with more moderate orthodontic issues to achieve their smile goals with ease. Since the attachments are tooth-colored, they are still significantly more discreet than traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Need to Brush Your Teeth After Each Meal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Removable trays make life much easier, especially when it comes to eating. After all, that means no dietary restrictions! Of course, you will need to brush your teeth after each meal to prevent food particles and debris from being stuck against your teeth for hours on end. Note: try keeping a dental hygiene to-go kit on-hand \u2013 it will make this adjustment more convenient!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Sound a Little Different at First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While many patients don\u2019t experience any changes to their speaking patterns, others experience a slight lisp. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 this is typically short-lived. Plus, you can speed up the adjustment period by reading out loud or talking to a trusted friend. In no time at all, your speech will return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You May End Up Adjusting Your Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there aren\u2019t any dietary restrictions with Invisalign, you may find it easier to eat certain foods, especially in the first few hours following your transition to a new set of aligners. While your teeth and gums are a bit tender, you may want to opt for yogurt, smoothies, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, and the like. If you\u2019re a coffee enthusiast, then you may need to limit your intake to just mealtimes to meet the 22-hour-a-day requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll Probably See Results Sooner Than You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With an average 12\u201318-month treatment timeline, Invisalign can deliver results even quicker than traditional braces. Plus, since the trays are completely clear, you\u2019ll be able to see all of the minor changes along the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know a little bit more about life with Invisalign! If you have a specific question about the clear aligner process or want to schedule a consultation, get in touch with your dentist today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2002, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carydentalrejuvenation.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Bikram Singh<\/a> has spent his days helping patients maintain, restore, and enhance their smiles.
