Braces are not solely for kids and teens anymore. The idea of adult orthodontic treatment has made straightening your teeth available for all ages. Invisalign®, however, is becoming increasingly popular within the adult demographic, and at Riverside Orthodontics near Glenville,CT we offer adult orthodontic treatment.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind in preparing for orthodontic treatment:
- If you have sensitive teeth Sensodyne is a great toothpaste to help desensitize your teeth.
- It is encouraged to practice excellent oral hygiene to prepare your gums for orthodontic treatment. Ask Dr. Kesselman for suggestions during your initial consultation.
- It may feel uncomfortable when you first get braces, this feeling will go away and become more natural. a
- Chewing may also be difficult and consumption of certain foods may be impossible at first, but unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® is designed for you to be able to remove during meals and to brush and floss. Ask Dr. Kesselman for a list of foods to avoid during those first few weeks as well.
- Your brushing routine may need to be amped up a bit or altered to fit into your schedule.
There are many benefits that come with Invisalign® including improved self-esteem and better dental health, and thanks to Invisalign®, it’s never too late to straighten your teeth invisibly.
