<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhile it is easy to use, aligners do not come without their own set of unique challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nAura Dental<\/strong>, our team has worked\nwith Invisalign St\nJohn\u2019s Wood<\/a> for over a decade and can offer you some much-needed tips on\nthe wearing and daily use of this aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, read on for our survival guide to Invisalign St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep your teeth clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As obvious as it may sound relating to anything\northodontic, when you wear Invisalign St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>,\nyou\u2019ve got to keep your teeth clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike braces which are fixed, this invisible\naligner is removable, meaning that you can and should take it out before meals.\nBut, before you put the aligner back in, you will need to clean your teeth.\nThat\u2019s right! Even at work or at a restaurant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will prevent sugars and other food debris\nfrom being pressed against your teeth, thus inhibiting the formation of\ncavities and gum disease. So, we recommend using a mini toothbrush and carrying\nit with you wherever you go along with a mini toothpaste tube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep the aligners clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to keep food debris off of your teeth\nbut we know that it can be easy to forget about cleaning it off of aligners\ntoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make it part of your daily routine to clean the\naligners. As they are made from plastic, you can simply rinse them under\nrunning cold water and remove any debris with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Do\nnot use hot water to clean them as this could cause the plastic to warp.\nRefrain from using mouthwashes too as this can cause the plastic to discolour\nand lead to your invisible aligners becoming a bit more visible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Backup aligners are a must-have!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You may find that during the period when you use\nyour aligners that they get damaged, warped or lost. So, it is worth investing\nin backup aligners to be safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t and one of your aligners is damaged,\nit can take at least 2 weeks for a new one to be ordered, made and shipped back\nto our team, which can lead to a lengthy delay in the treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Monitor yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you wear a removable aligner, you\u2019ve got to\nkeep track of everything; how often you wear them, how often you eat and\nwhether or not you are wearing the correct aligner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend keeping a diary or using the\nassociated app to help you manage your aligners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dental wax<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dental aligners are an amazing piece of\nengineering and are made possible thanks to the use of 3D printers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As is the way with most things made by 3D\nprinters, the edges of the aligners tend to be a bit sharp. This can cause issues\nwhen they are placed against the inner cheeks, gums or tongue. \n\nTherefore, it is worth investing in dental wax. This\nis a soft, putty-like material that is placed over the sharp edges of your\naligners until they soften down through daily wear and tear. It prevents\nfriction so that your soft tissues won\u2019t become damaged through the use of your\naligners.
