There are countless benefits to receiving Invisalign in 2020.. It can allow you to straighten your teeth and achieve a beautiful smile in a comfortable and discreet way. Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing and will not interfere with your everyday life.
Although treatment times vary from patient to patient, most patients can expect to see a beautiful smile in less than a year. Here at Sims Orthodontics, the best orthodontics practice for children and adults, we often recommend Invisalign to patients who would like to straighten their teeth. However, they are intimidated by traditional metal braces.
Traditional metal braces are known for their wires and brackets that can be uncomfortable and lead to pain and discomfort in the mouth. Fortunately, Invisalign is painless and does not contain any of these wires and brackets.
Some patients, however, wonder why their Invisalign aligners are cutting their tongue. If this is happening to them, their aligners probably have sharp edges. In the event your tongue is being cut as a result of Invisalign, we encourage you to visit our office immediately.
While it may be tempting to smooth its edges on your own, doing so can damage the aligners and prolong your treatment. You can count on our Pensacola and Crestview, Florida orthodontists to pinpoint the issue with your aligners and prevent tongue cutting in the future.
Understand that trying a DIY or “at home” remedy to fix Invisalign aligners is not suggested. We, at Sims Orthodontics, will be more than happy to assist you with any type of issue you are having with your aligners. In fact, we have a very strong relationship with the Invisalign maker, Align Technologies, so there is a chance we can get you a completely new set of aligners at no cost if you have defective or poorly made Invisalign aligners.
