Capabilities Of Invisalign Are Enormous

Invisalign is believed to be the comfiest teeth straighteners for teens since teens are more keen about their looks and Invisalign is indiscernible. However teens also like relishing several unusual food items and a basic query asked is whether food can be consumed at the time of donning Invisalign.

Well, consuming food at the time of with Invisalign on is not much recommended. Many patients don’t bother to discard Invisalign when they eat. This happens when the aligners are brand new and are fitting tightly, therefore are tender while removal.  But you have to keep in mind that the Invisalign are formed of thin plastic and if you apply on them the force to crush food, specifically hard and sticky one, they may get harmed. There may be a gap in them, or they may be smashed, or they can also get distorted. If any of these happens, it can distort the fitting of the aligners and the very motive for which you have put on the pricey accessory may be ruined. The purpose of Invisalign is to position your teeth correctly and when they get twisted or harmed, they will not accomplish their purpose; worse even, they may distort the teeth more than they earlier were.

Plus, eating wearing your Invisalign is quite difficult which you may have observed if you have tried that. This is due to the fact that the manner your teeth are set during the course of Invisalign process is not very alright for masticating. And also, the food will definitely stick to your clear aligners, which you may not understand. This is OK if you are at your residence, but it appears bad when you are in some public place.

Even then if you wear Invisalign while having food, you will ultimately have to remove them after eating as you need to rinse them. The bits of food accumulated on them is awful to look at and moreover, if you allow it to stay there it converts into plaque which incurs a big hazard for your teeth of decaying.

Teens are very fond of chewing gum as well. However chewing gum without removing Invisalign is full of risk. The gum will definitely lodged in to the surface of the aligners which is aftwards intensely difficult and take a lot of time to pull off.

Metallic braces have immense impact on your eating practices. This is due to the fact that you need to modify the style in which you have food so that it doesn’t mess up with the aligners. This forces you to give up a number of your favorite food items. On the other hand, Invisalign scores over the metal braces in their ability to be taken away. Meaning of this is that they don’t influence your eating style as the common braces do. But when you continue chewing food with your Invisalign on, you are not availing the full benefit of the ease they are presenting.

To avoid the discomfort while eating food when the Invisalign is recently fixed you can opt for softer food substances. Stiff food substances require more of masticating and hence increased pressure is given on Invisalign eventually resulting in pain. This can be reduced by having soft food in the initial days. And also, having a pain-killer an hour prior to meal is of help in reducing the soreness while eating. But you need to take the drug with your doctor’s advice.

Thus you have to take total benefit of Invisalign’s potential to be discarded and take the joy of eating.
