Once you've finished your Invisalign treatment here at Smile Again Dental Clinic, you can expect to have a perfectly aligned smile that brings not only an enhanced appearance but also increased confidence. The treatment doesn't stop, though, as soon as the aligners are off. It's important to move on to the next steps, such as wearing retainers, to keep your teeth stable in their new positions.
The very first thing you will have to do once your Invisalign treatment is over is wear retainers. Retainers are specifically made for your teeth to keep them from moving back towards their original position of misalignment. At first, you might have to wear them all the time, especially during sleep, for several months or more, depending on what your orthodontist advises. Eventually, the use may decrease as your teeth adjust to their final position.
It is essential to know that even though Invisalign Treatment in Mumbai provides you with a flawless smile, the retention period makes your teeth permanent. Without using retainers as directed, it is possible that your teeth would start moving back into their original position. It is for this reason that the retainer period is also regarded as a crucial aspect of the treatment process because it makes your results permanent through Invisalign treatment.
Apart from wearing retainers, you should also maintain good oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing your teeth daily, as well as cleaning your retainer, will keep your teeth and retainers in good shape. Periodic follow-up visits to your orthodontist at Smile Again Dental Clinic will monitor your progress, making sure that your teeth are still aligned and that you get to enjoy the fruits of your Invisalign treatment for many years to come.
