Camarillo Dentist Gives Dental Advice For Invisalign Wearers

    SOMIS, CA, November 28, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- People who chose Invisalign clear aligners to correct their malocclusion issues were most likely looking for a discreet orthodontic device. What other advantages are included when choosing clear braces? Well, patients can eat and participate in physical activity without much worry. Dr. Charles Scholler, cosmetic dentist in Camarillo, CA, offers friendly advice below.

Invisalign aligners allow patients to remove the device before eating, which is a good thing. It's easier for patients to remove food because the debris doesn't get caught under the wires or brackets. Without proper removal, remaining food particles can accumulate plaque, which may result in tooth decay.

"Easier access to the teeth allows for better oral health during and after treatment. However, patients need to remember that eating healthy is still important. Without the worry of food getting stuck in traditional wires and brackets, it's more tempting to eat food that traditional braces wearers would typically avoid. Patients still need to remember that excessive exposure to sugary and acidic foods allows for more bacteria to rest on the teeth and do damage to enamel," said Dr. Scholler, Camarillo dentist.

In regards to physical activity, patients are less cautious when they aren't sporting traditional braces. On Invisalign's website, it states, "Basketball. Volleyball. Kickboxing. No matter what sport you enjoy, Invisalign won't get in the way." That statement is entirely true, but patients still need to be well prepared during contact sports. Patients are still vulnerable to mouth injuries. Dr. Scholler recommends a mouthguard when participating in sports. No one wants to chance losing a tooth.

In matters of oral hygiene, remember to clean teeth and aligners with care-it's easier than cleaning in and around traditional braces.

"After brushing and flossing teeth, clean aligners with a clean toothbrush and lukewarm water. It's important to remove bacteria and anything else left on the aligners. It's for your comfort and oral health," asserts Dr. Scholler, dentist in Camarillo.

Patients can also use the Invisalign cleaning kit. Go to www.invisalign.com for more information.
