But if you have Invisalign, it\u2019s best to beware of some of the scary things out there that don\u2019t send a chill down your spine, but rather, threaten your clear aligners! Continue reading below to learn more about three tips that are certain to help you keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myfrederickdentist.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> aligners clean and uncompromised this spooky season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1. Eat What You Want, but Be Careful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason that patients love Invisalign is that the treatment doesn\u2019t come with any dietary restrictions, compared to the long list of off-limit items associated with traditional metal braces. As long as the clear aligners are removed beforehand, patients can enjoy virtually any and all foods\u2014including Halloween candy! That said, it doesn\u2019t mean you should be careless; <em>always <\/em>remove the aligners before eating, even if you\u2019re just nibbling on a piece of candy. Also be sure that you\u2019re cleaning your teeth before snapping your aligners back into place, so that you aren\u2019t trapping lingering bacteria against your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2. Don\u2019t Neglect Your Wear Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most important rule concerning Invisalign is that the clear aligners need to be worn roughly 20 \u2013 22 hours every day, to ensure that the patient\u2019s teeth move as intended. If you factor in the time spent eating three meals each day and brushing twice daily, it doesn\u2019t leave you with much wiggle room. This means that you\u2019ll want to make smart decisions about your snacking habits, since the aligners need to come out any time you eat something. One great way of doing this is eating your candy with your meals, since your aligners will already be out anyway, and your saliva will already be at work neutralizing the acids in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3. Drink Plenty of Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that water is by far and away the <em>best<\/em> beverage for your overall health? Not only does it lack the sugary and acidic particles found in other drinks, but it also stimulates your mouth\u2019s flow of saliva, which is your best defense against cavities. Not to mention, since it\u2019s clear, it won\u2019t stain your teeth or Invisalign aligners. This means that this Halloween, you shouldn\u2019t hesitate to have water with your candy, without your candy, and any other chance you get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping these tips in mind, you can ensure that your smile doesn\u2019t just look its best this Halloween\u2014your Invisalign treatment is also kept right on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The talented team at My Frederick Dentist has proudly served patients and families in the Frederick, MD community for several years under the leadership of Dr. Andrew Aziz and Dr. Sunghyeok Hong.
