Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear aligners to straighten teeth. It\u2019s a discreet, convenient, and comfortable way to achieve the smile of your dreams! Plus, there are no dietary restrictions while undergoing treatment since the trays must be removed before eating or drinking anything that\u2019s not water. But despite all the benefits, what are the chances of getting cavities during Invisalign? Read along to learn if you\u2019re at risk and what you should do if you think you have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is It Possible to Get Cavities During Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Short answer: yes, it\u2019s still possible to get cavities during Invisalign<\/a>. In fact, they\u2019re always<\/em> a possibility regardless of whether or not you\u2019re undergoing orthodontic treatment. That\u2019s why patients must take their oral hygiene seriously and clean their teeth as instructed. If you\u2019re not properly cleaning your mouth after eating, bacteria and food particles could become trapped between your aligners and teeth, increasing your chances of decay, cavities, and even gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should I Do If I Notice a Cavity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you think you might have a cavity? Contact your dentist right away for treatment. They may place a filling or other dental restoration on the tooth to address the problem. Afterward, you might experience some soreness and discomfort while wearing your Invisalign aligners. The fit may even feel off if a larger restoration, such as an inlay, onlay, or crown, was placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Prevent Cavities During Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If left untreated, tooth decay can become a serious problem that affects your oral and overall health. Here are some ways you can prevent cavities during Invisalign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brushing and flossing is the best line of defense against tooth decay! Even during treatment, you must continue to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Don\u2019t forget to clean your mouth after eating and before slipping the aligners back in! It helps eliminate bacteria, food particles, and plaque that could become trapped in your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Invisalign Aligners Clean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like your mouth, you must also take proper care of your Invisalign trays. Make sure you brush and soak them as recommended by your dentist to keep them free of bacteria and food particles. Otherwise, your chances of developing cavities are higher.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regularly Visit Your Dentist and Orthodontist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During your Invisalign treatment, you should attend all routine dental checkups and follow-ups with your orthodontist. They\u2019ll professionally clean your mouth and prevent, detect, or treat any issues with cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because you have Invisalign doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re immune to cavities. In fact, it\u2019s more important than ever to keep your smile clean and healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
