5 Common Myths About Invisalign Debunked: Part 2
In part two of our Invisalign myth-busting series, we’re tackling even more misconceptions about Invisalign. From comfort to effectiveness, let’s get to the truth about this popular, innovative orthodontic solution that we offer here at Goehring Dental in Austin, TX!
Myth #6: It’s Painful to Wear Invisalign
Truth: Invisalign aligners are designed with comfort in mind, making them far less irritating than metal braces. While you might feel mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new aligner, this typically fades within a day or two. The aligners are smooth, which means no wires or brackets to cause sores or irritation.
Myth #7: Invisalign is High-Maintenance
Truth: Invisalign is easy to incorporate into your daily routine! Although it requires regular cleaning and about 22 hours of daily wear, taking care of aligners is simple. With no wires or brackets, there are also fewer appointments for adjustments, making it a low-maintenance choice overall.
Myth #8: Invisalign Aligners Get Stained
Truth: Aligners can stain if frequently exposed to coffee, tea, or red wine without proper cleaning. However, with a simple daily cleaning routine, your aligners will stay clear and discreet. Remember to brush your teeth and rinse your aligners before putting them back in after meals!
Myth #9: You Don’t Have to Wear a Retainer After Invisalign
Truth: Just like with braces, retainers are essential after Invisalign to maintain your new smile. Without a retainer, teeth can gradually shift back. Wearing a retainer will help keep your teeth in their ideal position for years to come, so your new smile stays intact!
Myth #10: Invisalign Doesn’t Really Work
Truth: Invisalign is a proven, research-backed treatment that has transformed millions of smiles worldwide. With advanced technology and years of success stories, Invisalign is an effective and reliable option for achieving a straighter, healthier smile. It’s not only convenient but also produces lasting results.
