For example, \u201cHow do I floss with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypedoorthonashua.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a>?\u201d If you\u2019ve found yourself wondering the same thing, then read on. You\u2019ll find the answer below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Quick Guide on Flossing with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. So, when it comes time to complete your oral hygiene regimen, you don\u2019t have to worry about adopting any cumbersome routines or buying special products. Instead, you can take your trays out, rinse them with clean, cool water, place them in their designated case, and floss like usual. Just be sure to be gentle, thorough, and consistent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Flossing Consistently Is Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At your initial consultation, your orthodontist will provide you with an estimate of your treatment timeline. They will also share what to do to prevent delays, like committing to a solid oral hygiene regimen at home. This is crucial because the development of tooth decay, periodontal disease, or another serious oral health problem will bring your teeth-straightening journey to a temporary stop. In other words, flossing consistently will help you stay on-track and avoid added expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Other Important Oral Hygiene Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, flossing is just one of several oral hygiene habits you should prioritize. Here are a few others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brushing your teeth for a full two minutes each morning and evening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping sugary and starchy foods to a minimum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drinking lots of water throughout the day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wearing a mouthguard during sports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taking your aligners out before eating or drinking anything other than water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting a dental checkup and teeth cleaning biannually<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about life with Invisalign \u2013 whether it\u2019s about your oral hygiene routine or navigating mealtimes \u2013 don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your orthodontic team. They are there to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypedoorthonashua.com\/\">Simply Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics<\/a>, creating custom treatment plans is just the beginning.
