When you begin your Invisalign treatment, you may not be thinking much about the multifaceted details that can make (or break) the success of your orthodontic care. Fortunately, as long as you pay attention to some essential factors as you go, succeeding in reaching the straight smile you want is simple. To help you get on track immediately and stay there, we offer a few surprisingly helpful ways to succeed.

#1: Plan Ahead

Are you going out of town? To school? To work? Remember that you will need to take your Invisalign treatment trays out to eat and then you will need to brush your teeth and rinse your trays before they go back in your mouth. Plan to bring a case and your dental hygiene products with you, so you’re ready!

#2: Set A Schedule

Need a little extra time in the morning to gather up everything you need for your smile? Do you have a ritual that includes cleaning your Invisalign tray case, your trays, and your smile, that is difficult to manage if you stay in bed until the last minute? Schedule your mornings (and your evenings, too), so you never feel too rushed to ensure you have a successful day with Invisalign.

#3: Don’t Trust The Rumors

Did a friend tell you that it’s completely okay to eat while you wear your Invisalign trays, as long as the food is soft? Have you heard that you should go ahead and toss your trays into boiling water every now and then to sterilize them? If we didn’t already mention it, it’s probably not true. Run rumors by us to avoid accidentally setting your treatment back.
