She said she&#8217;d never had worse breath than when she wore them.  I decided to do some online research about that issue and it seems some people have had that same problem, but others absolutely love them. Does that mean that particular issue is preventable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Marcia,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/invisalign-insert.jpg\" alt=\"A woman placing in her Invisalign aligners\" class=\"wp-image-803\" width=\"356\" height=\"399\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely that one is preventable. Invisalign is removable. As such, it allows you to eat whatever you want. Then, you simply pop them back in when you are done. However, your dentist will <strong><em>strongly<\/em><\/strong> recommend you brush and floss your teeth after each meal before you put them back on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a good reason for that. Every time you eat, you get some food and bacteria on and between your teeth. If you don&#8217;t remove that before you place the aligners back on, they&#8217;re going to fester there. That will lead to some seriously bad breath. It would also leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Simply brushing before replacing them completely fixes this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two Other Common Invisalign Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So you are completely prepared for Invisalign treatment, I want to tell you about two other common issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is some minor aches when you switch aligners. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/invisalign.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Invisalign (opens in a new tab)\">Invisalign<\/a>, you wear a pair of aligners which you will switch out every two weeks. Each pair gently moves your teeth into another position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first couple of days, the aligners will feel a bit snug. That&#8217;s because it is new position. By the third day, they should feel like a perfect fit. The remainder of the two week is to allow the bone time to form around the new root position.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many patients don&#8217;t feel any discomfort. However, if you are one who does, most often some mild over the counter pain relievers is enough to make a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second common issue is excess saliva.  For some patients, when they first start Invisalign, their body thinks of it as a foreign substance in their mouth which needs to be digested. It responds by producing excess saliva. Fortunately, this fades quite quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Unexpected Invisalign Benefit<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While everyone expects to have a straighter smile by the end of their Invisalign treatment, did you know you could also have a whiter smile as well? Invisalign aligners can double as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/category\/teeth-whitening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"teeth whitening (opens in a new tab)\">teeth whitening<\/a> trays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is ask your dentist for some teeth whitening gel, which doesn&#8217;t cost much at all. Then, you simply place the gel in your aligners and you&#8217;ll have a mini smile makeover at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Lafayette, LA Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">Lafayette, LA Dentist<\/a> Dr. Mike Malone.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been considering getting Invisalign, but decided to talk to an acquaintance who&#8217;d already used them.
