At Bay Smile Dental, we want you to feel confident caring for your Invisalign trays throughout treatment. Our Invisalign patients should follow the instructions below as part of their treatment plan. Review them regularly, and contact our team if you have questions or need help.
Keys to YOUR Invisalign® Success
- Wear trays all the time; 24 hours a day, all day, all night, eating, sleeping, except when cleaning your teeth or trays. Minimize sugar/acidic intake.
- Continue to wear trays, even in the rare instance if they break.
- If you lose your current tray, you must not have been wearing them. So, put on your previous tray and call us for further instructions.
- Bring all trays to each appointment. Never throw away any trays. Let us throw them away so there are no mix ups.
- Any lost attachment(s) will be replaced (if necessary) at your next appointment if needed, unless we have otherwise specified.
- Any gum irritation can easily be solved with the ortho wax supplied in the tray case. You can buy more from the pharmacy, if needed.
- While uncommon, if needed for some soreness Motrin/Advil/Ibuprofen can be taken if you can tolerate with any medication or medical conditions you may have. If unsure, call your physician.
- Avoid staining foods with yellow dyes: turmeric, mustard, mac & cheese, etc…
