Are you looking to correct imperfections with your bite, gaps between your teeth, or smile alignment issues? Though traditional braces are still a valid way to perfect your pearly whites, Invisalign offers a quicker and less visually invasive alternative. Even so, waiting on the smile of your dreams can be difficult. Luckily, AcceleDent offers a way for you to speed up your treatment plan. Read on to find out how it can help!

How AcceleDent Can Speed Up Your Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign uses state-of-the-art clear aligners to guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time. They do this by exerting just enough pressure on your teeth to move them without causing damage. Each new set of aligners picks up where the previous ones left off to steadily move you towards the smile you desire. While this process generally takes 12 to 18 months, you may want to ask your dentist about AcceleDent to speed things up.

AcceleDent’s uses patented SoftPulse Technology® which applies vibrations called micropulses that have been precisely calibrated through the roots of your teeth and to the surrounding bone. These gentle vibrations help increase cellular activity and speed up the rate at which your teeth move. As a result, you may be able to complete your Invisalign treatment up to 50% faster!

4 More Tips to Help You Stay On-Track with Invisalign

Though AcceleDent can significantly lessen treatment times, some patients may still fall off-track with their Invisalign. This leads to them having to spend more time and money than originally planned. There are a few ways you can prevent delays from happening, including:

  • Wear your aligners –Invisalign aligner trays need to be worn for at least 20-22 hours each day. Even though they’re removable, try not to get into the habit of taking them out frequently. Only remove them to eat or drink anything other than water and to complete your oral hygiene routine at night and in the morning.
  • Don’t use hot water – Though rinsing your aligner trays regularly with hot water will help keep them free of plaque and food particles, make sure that you don’t use hot water. Using overly hot water to clean your Invisalign trays can warp the plastic, which will likely render them useless. Rinse them off with lukewarm or cold water instead.
  • Store your trays properly – When you remove your aligners, store them in a compact, sturdy case. This will keep them safe and free of germs as well as keep you from losing them.
  • Prioritize follow-up appointments – Invisalign doesn’t require as many follow-up appointments as traditional braces. Even so, make sure to prioritize these appointments so your dentist can continue to monitor your progress and make the necessary adjustments.

It can be hard to wait over a year to achieve the smile of your dreams. Luckily, through the use of AcceleDent your new smile is within reach!
