\"Dentist<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since clear aligners don\u2019t come with dietary restrictions, cumbersome oral hygiene regimens, or lengthy treatment timelines, many patients assume that the transition into life with braces will be smooth sailing. That\u2019s only the case for those who prepare! If your first official Invisalign<\/a> appointment is rapidly approaching, then keep reading to learn four easy ways you can prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Figure Out the Financial Side of Your Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes, patients postpone discussions surrounding price until the final minute. However, sorting out all of the details upfront will make the entire experience considerably less stressful. So, if you are planning on using your dental insurance, start the paperwork now. Or, if you want to break up the cost of your care into smaller chunks with a trusted third-party financier, don\u2019t wait to sign up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Find Healthy, Filling Meals That You Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One aspect of life with Invisalign that patients often overlook is the 20 hour-a-day minimum. After all, having four hours of aligner-free time each day sounds like more than enough at first. The reality is that there isn\u2019t a lot of time for snacking, which is why patients are encouraged to stick to healthy, well-balanced, and filling meals as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Start Brushing Your Teeth Three Times a Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you can\u2019t put your aligners back on without brushing your teeth (doing so would dramatically increase your risk of common oral health problems, like cavities). So, now is a great time to start getting in the habit of doing so after each meal. Not only will this ensure it\u2019s part of your routine by the time you officially begin your journey with clear aligners, but it will also reduce your risk of tooth decay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Pack an On-the-Go Dental Care Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t used to brushing your teeth after lunch, you might quickly find that it\u2019s easier said than done between days at the office and meals with friends. To help, keep an on-the-go dental care kit with you! That way, you have everything you need (i.e., toothbrush, toothpaste, floss) no matter where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
