Invisalign before and after before and after, you should make sure you follow your doctor’s instructions closely. Invisalign is effective for many patients who have mild to moderate misalignment issues, but it’s less successful for those with more complex problems or who don’t wear their aligners consistently.

For example, it’s important to brush and floss your teeth before putting in and taking out your Invisalign trays. Otherwise, food particles can build up and create bacteria that leads to bad breath and tooth decay. You should also rinse and clean your trays every time you remove them for the day or night. This helps to remove any bacterial build-up and prevents the trays from developing unpleasant smells. You can use a dental cleaner tablet or water to do this.

Invisalign Cost Breakdown: Factors That Affect Pricing

Your Invisalign treatment will include a consultation and x-rays to help determine your specific needs and goals. From here, a customized treatment plan will be crafted. You’ll receive custom-made aligners based on this plan. These trays are designed to shift your teeth in the most effective way possible. Depending on your case, your doctor may add SmartForce attachments (tooth-colored pieces that stick to some of your teeth), or rubber bands to better guide the movement of your teeth.
