Should You Get Invisalign? 2 Benefits of Invisalign

Serving our Mooresville community, our practice's top priority is to provide you with the highest quality orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment. Having straight teeth is important not only for children but for adults as well. Straightening your teeth with the Invisalign system at Quest Johnson Orthodontics can treat common orthodontic problems thereby helping you maintain your dental health. It will also give you the smile you've always wanted!

Invisalign treatment is a technique that straightens your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-modeled to fit your teeth. The Invisalign aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Drs. Quest and Johnson plan out for you.

If you are trying to decide if Invisalign is best for you, here are two Invisalign benefits to help you make a choice.

1. Food is Not an Obstacle: 
It is no secret the food restrictions that come with braces are a long list. There are certain foods you should avoid due to the harm it can cause to your braces and teeth. A benefit to Invisalign is, thanks to the removable clear aligners, you are able to eat without the normal restrictions of braces. You should still keep a healthy oral hygiene routine such as flossing and brushing your teeth.

2. Life Your Life Uninterrupted:
With Invisalign, you can live your life uninterrupted. Your aligners are easily removable, which will not get in the way of your activities such as sports, playing musical instruments or taking the perfect selfie. The Invisalign aligners make it easy to floss and brush your teeth. The aligners are additionally easy to be monitored by our doctors at Quest Johnson Orthodontics.

Make brushing your teeth a routine every morning and every night. Stick to the routine and ensure that you and your family keep a specific time for brushing your teeth, this will build a great daily habit.

Flossing is Key:
Flossing every day is even more important when you have braces. If you’re having trouble flossing, just use a floss threader with regular floss, or buy special stiff-tipped floss made for braces wearers.

Use Mouthwash: 
Using mouthwash, especially during orthodontic treatment is so important. Mouthwash can easily remove food debris from areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush or floss. After brushing and flossing, you can swish it around your mouth for a minimum of 30 seconds. This will remove any lingering bacteria and will even help with inflammation of the gums.
