Maybe a candlelit dinner? Or maybe sipping champagne on the beach at sunset? Or you can keep it casual with an outing to your favorite ice cream parlor. Regardless of how you chose to spend the holiday of love, it\u2019s important to continue keeping your smile in mind, especially if you\u2019re undergoing Invisalign treatment. There are several ways that undergoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arbordentalcare.com\/invisalign-clear-braces.html\">Invisalign treatment<\/a> can affect you during Valentine\u2019s Day, so read on to learn what they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Confidence Boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign works in the same way as traditional braces. These smooth, plastic aligners apply gentle pressure to the teeth to gradually move them into a more ideal position to close gaps and fix alignment and bite issues. Having a more uniform beam can give you the confidence boost you need to sweep your Valentine\u2019s Day date off their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Speech Alterations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have some problems speaking clearly when you first start Invisalign treatment since the trays alter the space in the mouth. As a result, your tongue may move around the teeth differently. This can change the way you pronounce some words. For example, some patients develop a temporary lisp. The lisp should go away once you\u2019ve had time to adjust to your new aligners. Even so, there are some ways to adjust quicker, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Repeating difficult-to-pronounce words<\/li><li>Having conversations with others<\/li><li>Reading aloud<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Eat Without Worry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional braces come with a long list of dietary restrictions. This is because certain foods may get caught in the brackets and wires or damage them. Fortunately, since Invisalign is removable, you can eat nearly anything without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, it may be best to avoid dark or highly pigmented foods and drinks when possible to prevent staining. You should also thoroughly brush and floss after each meal, which will also help prevent aligner staining and will keep food from getting caught behind your trays and raising your risk of tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Increased Risk of Bad Breath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad breath, or halitosis, is an issue that may develop during Invisalign treatment. Even so, it shouldn&#8217;t last very long as long as you clean your aligners properly. They need to be thoroughly brushed at least once per day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to remove plaque and food particles. You should also soak your trays in a solution made for aligners, dentures, or retainers once daily to kill harmful bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arbor Dental Care and its two skilled dentists, Dr. Jeanelle \u201cNellie\u201d Marchese and Dr. Frank Marchese, put a focus on the individualized and exceptional care of each of their patients.
