If they have Invisalign, they may already struggle to keep up with their routine. That\u2019s why your dentist has put together some important tips and information to ensure that your teen\u2019s Invisalign treatment remains on track and successful. Read on to see how your son or daughter can keep up with their clear braces while getting their education!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts for Eating at School with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teen\u2019s teeth may be sore from treatment, especially if they just began a new aligner in the series. If so, keep this information in mind and pack them softer foods that are easier to eat. Additionally, you should remind your son or daughter than they must remove their aligners to eat. Taking out aligners can be difficult or painful, which is why your dentist recommends that your teen carefully removes them from the back parts of the trays. They can also use a removal tool to make it easier to eat and take out the aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Health Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental hygiene is always important, but it\u2019s even more vital if your teen has Invisalign \u2013 the last thing you want to do is spend time and money on cavities while straightening teeth. The best way for your child to protect their smile from decay is to brush and floss after meals, right before putting their aligners back in. Without doing so, plaque, bacteria, and food debris get caught in between the aligners and teeth, creating higher risks of cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Following the Dentist\u2019s Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teen has a lot to keep up with, especially when school gets started. However, following the dentist\u2019s instructions is incredibly important so your loved one can finish their treatment on time with the best results. The key is to remind your teen to wear their aligners 21 hours a day. That means they should only be taken out for eating and oral healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Invisalign Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone is a little forgetful, but face it, the teenage years come with a least some slight irresponsibility. For this reason, your teen may damage or lose their aligners. In order to avoid this, make sure they leave for school each day with their Invisalign case. That way, if the aligners aren\u2019t being worn, your son or daughter can easily put them in a safe place for storage. As a bonus, remember that Invisalign teen does come with extra aligners compared to traditional Invisalign because it\u2019s designed for students who may misplace them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teen is on their way to straight, healthy teeth!
