Factors include aggressive brushing, gum disease, genetics, teeth grinding, tobacco use, and misaligned teeth.
Invisalign aligners can be worn with dental fillings or work, but it’s essential to discuss your specific case with your orthodontist.
Depending on the procedure, it’s often recommended to wait 24-48 hours before engaging in strenuous activity to allow for proper healing.
You can gradually resume eating your favorite foods as your dental implant heals and integrates with the jawbone. Initially, stick to soft and non-chewy foods and gradually transition to a regular diet.
Dental picks with a silicone tip, soft rubber tip, and textured tip can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
If you experience discomfort or sharp edges, your orthodontist can make adjustments to the aligners to improve comfort.
