New to your braces or Invisalign journey? The team at Havener Orthodontics has compiled 5 helpful Invisalign and braces tips and tricks to help you along your perfect smile journey.
- Keep your eye on the prize! Stay motivated throughout treatment by thinking of what your smile will look like when you’re done. The team at Havener Orthodontics is here to make your perfect smile a reality.
- One of the best tips for new braces wearers is to trust that you’ll get used to the feeling of your braces or Invisalign aligners very quickly. The first day of having braces can be a little weird but we promise it’ll all be worth it!
- Getting your braces put on doesn’t hurt at all. However, for a few days afterwards, following adjustments or when wearing a new set of Invisalign aligners, your teeth might be sensitive. Drink ice water or treat yourself to a smoothie to help numb your mouth.
- During the initial getting to know you phase with braces, you may experience lip and cheek irritation due to the brackets and wires. Once your mouth adjusts, which usually happens during the first week, this won’t be a problem anymore.
- If a bracket comes loose or a wire starts poking you, call our office so we can let you know if you’ll need to come in for a repair appointment.
