\"WomanIf you are waiting for your first set of aligners to arrive, you don\u2019t have to twiddle your thumbs in the meantime. In fact, there are several steps you can take to help make the transition to life with braces significantly more seamless! With this in mind, read on to learn five ways to prepare for your Invisalign<\/a> treatment.<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Figure Out the Financials<\/h2>\n

If you haven\u2019t already established with your dental team how you\u2019re going to pay for your Invisalign treatment, now is the perfect time to explore all of the financial solutions they offer. For example, your dentist may welcome flexible financing through third-party financiers like CareCredit, which allow you to pay for your treatment in monthly chunks instead of all at once. On the opposite end, some providers give discounts when the entire price is paid at the beginning. In short, now is the time to see which options are available and pick the one that suits your budget best!<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Put an On-the-Go Oral Hygiene Kit Together<\/h2>\n

Throughout your teeth-straightening journey with Invisalign, you\u2019ll need to brush and floss after each meal. That means completing your oral hygiene routine whether you\u2019re at home, at the office, at lunch with friends, or traveling across the world! To make this task easy, put together an on-the-go dental care kit that has everything you need, from a soft-bristled toothbrush to pre-threaded floss.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Start Brushing Your Teeth After Each Meal<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, cleaning your teeth (and your aligners!) after each meal is a must. To ensure this is an established habit by the time your Invisalign treatment officially begins, start now. In addition to keeping your smile decay-free, this will also ensure that you know how to navigate brushing your teeth no matter where your day takes you.<\/p>\n

Tip #4: Buy Any Additional Tools You Need Now<\/h2>\n

Some patients like buying additional items that can make life with clear aligners easier. A few examples are an OrthoKey, OTC pain medication, and desensitizing toothpaste. If you\u2019re interested in keeping any of these tools on hand, now is a great time to buy them!<\/p>\n

Tip #5: Stock Up on Soft (and Delicious!) Foods<\/h2>\n

In the hours following your transition to a new aligner, your teeth might feel quite sore. While the sensation will subside as your teeth are guided into their new positions, it can be helpful to stick to soft foods until that happens. So, stock your pantry and fridge with plain yogurt, soups, and the like!<\/p>\n
