Product Information

While your mouth will adapt as you get used to wearing clear aligners, it is common to experience this discomfort when you begin your treatment. If you are experiencing pain due to Invisalign sharp edges, keep reading and we’ll show you some easy methods to make your trays much more comfortable. Here's what we'll cover: There’s a lot of flexibility that comes with wearing clear aligners, but one hard truth: they don’t work if you don’t wear them. It’s challenging enough for disciplined adults to meet the 22 hours of daily recommended wear time. For Invisalign Teen, that number is 21 hours, but still; getting your kid to wear hard plastic over their teeth for 90% of the day is no easy task. Especially considering the myriad reasons why teens might not wear them in the first place. Here’s a few tips for overcoming some of the more common wear-time barriers. Dealing with Self-Consciousness With their innovative grooved shape and teeth-friendly ingredients, Movemints are the perfect accessory for clear retainers.

With that said, if your goal is to treat a more mild case of crowding or spacing without the use of attachments, you can potentially save money, skip the extra trips to the dentist, and achieve comparable results by opting for at-home clear aligner treatment. Several popular online aligner companies like Byte and Smile Direct make the process easy to do from your own home, and you still have a dentist or orthodontist to oversee your care remotely and without the use of attachments. Do Invisalign Attachments Hurt?Sometimes, your clear aligners aren’t sufficient to achieve your ideal smile. This can be especially true for moderate to advanced cases, where your provider has to deal with stubborn teeth or extreme gaps or crowding. In these cases, they may decide to apply attachments to your teeth to give your trays a little something extra to grip as they guide your teeth into their new position.

Invisalign is a great way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces, but that doesn't mean they aren't without their own challenges. Invisalign pain is one such challenge, and it is typically caused by sharp edges that cause mouth sores and abrasions. To keep your teeth looking pearly white throughout your treatment, use a whitening pen to eliminate stains. These pens from Knotty Floss are vegan and gluten free, simple to apply and most importantly, they work! Also, none of these attachments pose any risk to your teeth. They will not damage your enamel or put you at risk for tooth loss or decay. Attachments, buttons and bite ramps are perfectly safe for your teeth!Invisalign bad breath isn't actually caused by Invisalign, but it does amplify the effects. You will wear your aligners for 22 hours each day, and that can give any food particles between your teeth and along the gum line an opportunity to flourish. That's why patients are not recommended to eat while wearing their trays, and to brush every time before they reinsert them. Failing to practice good oral hygiene, like flossing, will prevent bad breath as well as worse outcomes like Invisalign gum damage. Movemints breath mints are patented and uniquely designed to work hand-in-hand with clear plastic retainers. How Much Do Retainers Cost to Replace? Let’s find out how much retainers cost to replace so you can decide which option is right for you

Another way to deal with the pain of Invisalign is to do the chewing exercises many Orthodontists recommend to their clear aligner patients.

Have your child practice at home with the chewies that Invisalign provides, and know that Movemints are another handy tool especially when they are at school. The patented grooves will help your child wear their trays comfortably while they freshen breath and fight dry mouth...a real triple threat! Hawley Retainers - Hawley retainers tend to last longer than clear plastic retainers—you can count on them for anywhere from 5-8 years. Though it may seem counterintuitive, taking out your retainers will not help relieve pain. In fact, taking out your retainers for pain relief will lead to many more problems in the future. First, removing your aligners will not relieve pain, you will experience the discomfort with your retainer in or out. You will also likely experience more discomfort replacing your retainer if you remove it for too long. The bottom line is that you need to wear your retainers for 22+ hours a day to achieve your desired results. By taking your retainers out for pain relief, you could be changing the course of your Invisalign journey. Nobody expects Invisalign to be easy, and the journey is filled with surprises. Some surprises are great, like how awesome your teeth look after treatment, and others can be a pain in the mouth.

To help prevent Invisalign dry mouth, you can follow a series of simple tips for cleaning your clear aligners, including:

You may have received chewies from your Orthodontist, and they do aid in the seating process and I still give them to my patients for home use. But, they can get very dirty if they aren't cleaned regularly and are a bit awkward to use in public. So.... Invisalign Tip #3: Use Movemints When You're On The Go! While attachments don’t necessarily accelerate treatment, they are important tools for your orthodontist to help you achieve your ideal smile. So while you certainly can do Invisalign without attachments, keep in mind you may compromise your results and potentially lengthen your treatment. Both metal and clear retainers work by applying light constant pressure to teeth to keep them from shifting. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by your orthodontist can help your newly adjusted teeth stay put. Another reason Invisalign pain occurs during the clear aligner journey is because our eating, drinking, chewing and swallowing habits all change quite radically. As your teeth move, your bite changes. As your bite changes, you chew differently, and as you chew differently you put pressure on teeth that aren't accustomed to that pressure. Because your gums are like your muscles, new activity in strange places leaves your mouth tired and achy in the morning.Clear aligners are a great way to get the new smile you've always wanted, but the treatment does have side affects. Invisalign dry mouth is a common complaint, but there are things you can to to keep it under control. In our latest blog post, we will cover simple and easy solutions to cope with Invisalign dry mouth . Drink Plenty of Water to Replenish Invisalign Dry Mouth Stay Hydrated to Prevent Invisalign Dry Mouth While attachments, buttons, and bite ramps may all sound like headaches, they are actually quite a blessing for clear aligner patients. Without these additional options, clear aligners may not be a viable treatment method for those who need moderate to complex correction, meaning the only option would be traditional metal braces. So it could be worse, right? Can I Do Invisalign Without Attachments? You can expect a little bit of discomfort in the days after they are applied, but not because of the attachments themselves (it’s not like they are drilled or bolted on or anything). No, the discomfort comes from the increased orthodontic force that attachments enable for your clear aligners, causing your teeth to move more dramatically than they had before. The more you wear your aligners with your attachments (and the same goes for bite ramps and buttons), the faster you’ll get used to the discomfort! Within a day or two, the soreness will be a thing of the past. If you are thinking about refusing attachments, consider these next few points. While you may have heard stories about Invisalign attachments staining teeth, this is not something to be overly concerned about. While the attachments themselves may experience slight staining around their perimeter, it will hardly be noticeable when you are wearing your trays. Invisalign users should also avoid using tobacco products, as they tend to dry out one’s mouth too. This includes tobacco products in any form, such as hookah or cigarettes.
