Dental Cleaning with Invisalign

May 26, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Yesterday I visited Dr. Darryl Tom’s office for my 6 month dental cleaning, xrays, and check up. I was curious about how they would clean my teeth with the Invisalign attachments. The dental hygienist said that because you can take Invisalign aligners out, it is much easier to clean teeth versus metal braces. You also can’t have x-rays taken with metal braces, but with Invisalign, you can! So I found two more benefits for using Invisalign over traditional metal braces.


In the past, my lower front teeth were so rotated that they were difficult to clean. They got a lot of tartar build up which was hard to reach with a toothbrush because the teeth were so close together and rotated. The hygienist would have to do a lot of scraping of those teeth which was painful. My teeth are so sensitive. But yesterday was a different story! I’ve only been wearing Invisalign since February but my bottom teeth have turned and straightened out enough that I can keep them clean with a toothbrush. The hygienist did not have to do as much scraping and my visit was much more pleasant.


I’m really excited about how much my smile has improved already with Invisalign. In fact, my in-laws were visiting for a whole weekend and never noticed that I was wearing them. I finally told them that I was wearing Invisalign and they said they had no idea.


If you are considering Invisalign, feel free to ask questions. I’d be happy to answer them. Or if you’re wearing Invisalign leave a comment and let us know how it’s going.
