You can continue to enjoy your favorite foods, sports, and activities with a confident smile thanks to these nearly invisible aligners. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can pop them in and forget about them completely! Here are the five most important things not to do when straightening your teeth with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasdentistryforkids.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign in Mesquite<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Wear Them for Less Than 22 Hours a Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign aligners can only straighten your teeth if you wear them! They need to be worn for at least 22 hours every day for the best results. Any less time than that can significantly slow down your progress and increase your treatment timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Avoid Taking Them Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best benefits of Invisalign aligners is that they are removable, so don\u2019t forget to take advantage of that! Eating or drinking while wearing your aligners can quickly scratch, break, or wear them down. Also, avoid drinking anything besides water while wearing them to prevent staining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Handle Your Aligners Carelessly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It will take a few days to get used to wearing your aligners. As you adjust, be sure to leave them alone and avoid playing with them to prevent injuring your tongue or damaging your aligners. Once you\u2019ve become accustomed to wearing your aligners, it\u2019s essential that you don\u2019t forget to handle them with care. Removing or replacing them haphazardly can quickly and suddenly break them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget to Brush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular toothbrushing plays an essential role in keeping your mouth healthy and your aligners in great shape throughout your treatment. Twice a day, you should brush your teeth for at least two minutes and thoroughly clean your aligners. Additionally, do your best to give your teeth a quick brush after every meal and snack to prevent trapping food particles, plaque, and bacteria against your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Rush Your Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As excited as you may be to get the straighter smile you\u2019ve always wanted, it\u2019s important to remember that orthodontic treatment cannot be rushed. For effective, long-lasting results, your teeth need to be slowly and gently guided into position. Moving them too suddenly or drastically can cause tooth reabsorption, permanent damage, and additional dental treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Invisalign aligners boast a long list of freedoms, it\u2019s essential to keep in mind their limitations. However, if you follow the easy \u201cdo\u2019s\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019ts\u201d of Invisalign, you\u2019ll be enjoying a straighter, healthier smile in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At Texas Dentistry in Mesquite, TX, we are proud to showcase the talents of several highly experienced dental professionals.
