Raise your hand if you have ever made a resolution you didn’t keep. That’s just about everyone. If you are an older teen or an adult, and you are already wearing (or considering wearing) clear braces, here are some resolutions that should be easy to keep. Invisalign clear braces use a series of custom fitted aligner trays to guide your teeth into the most functional and attractive positions. Commit yourself to these three resolutions and you will be on your way to smile success!

Resolution #1: Follow Recommended Wearing Instructions

The clear trays that come with your Invisalign program are custom fitted to your mouth, teeth and jaw. You will receive a precise wearing schedule, which allows for some time each day (usually when eating and cleaning your teeth) when trays are removed. They can also be removed for special occasions. Wearing the aligners according to the prescribed schedule will make sure you achieve your best smile in the shortest time possible.

Resolution #2: Don’t Leave Trays Lying Around

Choosing to straighten your teeth with Invisalign is an investment in yourself. Don’t leave trays lying around on the side of the counter or wrapped up in a napkin. Not only can it be unsanitary, but trays can be lost or damaged. You can prevent that expense and inconveniece by storing trays in the proper container, when they are not in your mouth.

Resolution #3: Visit Your Riverside Dentist To Find Our More

If this all sounds very interesting, but you are not currently using Invisalign to improve your smile, consult with your dentist to find out more. If it turns out you are not a suitable candidate for Invisalign, your dentist or orthodontist can offer other suggestions to help you achieve your best smile.
