\"Teen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The weeks leading up to a new semester are filled with endless to-dos, from catching up on your summer reading and figuring out where your classes are to going shopping for new clothes. Naturally, you need to be proactive about staying on-track with your Invisalign<\/a> treatment as well. Since this can be easier said than done, keep reading for four helpful back-to-school tips for teens with Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Download the Invisalign App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order for your teeth to track properly, you need to wear your aligners for 20+ hours a day. During summer break, this may have been a breeze. Once classes start and extracurricular activities are in full swing, however, it may be a different story. That\u2019s why you should download the Invisalign app \u2013 you can track your wear time with the click of a button!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Eat Soft, Nutrient-Dense Foods at Lunch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you bring your lunch to school or go off campus to eat with friends, it can be helpful to eat softer foods, especially the day or two following the switch to a new set of aligners. We also recommend choosing smile-friendly foods, like cooked vegetables, over sugar-filled ones. Remember, your body needs the nutrients from vitamin-rich foods in order to keep your teeth healthy and your gums decay-free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Clean Your Teeth (& Aligners) After Each Meal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not caring for your teeth and aligners can result in numerous problems, from painful cavities to stained aligners. To prevent that from happening, complete your oral hygiene regimen after each meal. You can make this more convenient by packing some travel-sized essentials in your backpack, like a soft-bristled toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Keep a Clear Aligner Removal Tool On Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clear aligner removal tools, like OrthoKey, can be incredibly helpful. After all, taking your trays out can sometimes be a bit difficult, and you may not want to put your hands in your mouth if they aren\u2019t clean. Fortunately, products like these are relatively inexpensive and can be bought online or in stores like Walmart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the above tips, you can stay on-track with your treatment plan whether you\u2019re in or out of the classroom. Of course, if you need more helpful pointers, you can always ask your orthodontist too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Doctor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Bradley Buchwald<\/a> also had braces as a teenager! In fact, the experience was so positive for him that he decided then and there that he would become an orthodontist. To make this goal a reality, he attended the University of Florida and Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. Then, he completed a 3-year orthodontic residency and became a board-certified orthodontist. If you have a question about life with braces or you\u2019d like to see if you\u2019re a candidate for Invisalign, don\u2019t hesitate to visit our website<\/a> or call (972) 377-5940<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
