While dental alignment issues like gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites can lead to a host of oral and overall health problems, many people are hesitant to commit to traditional metal braces. Fortunately, SureSmile clear aligners<\/a> are a discreet and effective orthodontic treatment that can address mild to moderate malocclusions. Here\u2019s a brief guide to how you can prepare yourself for a smooth and comfortable orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Get Used to Brushing More Frequently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While dentists recommend that everyone brush at least twice a day, SureSmile patients need to thoroughly clean their teeth each time before wearing their aligners. The aligners will have to be removed before eating or drinking anything but liquid water, so you\u2019ll need to get used to brushing and flossing after each meal and snack. Getting into this habit before your treatment starts can help you avoid unsightly stains and treatment-delaying oral infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to Schedule Time for Meals and Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to wear your clear aligners for at least twenty hours each day during SureSmile treatment, and it\u2019s ideal to wait at least thirty minutes after eating before brushing. To maximize how much you can wear your aligners each day, you\u2019ll need to learn to be mindful of when you eat and to budget enough time for oral hygiene afterward. Getting used to snacking less before SureSmile treatment can prime you to keep your realignment process on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
