The last stage of Invisalign treatment is the retention phase, where retainers are used to keep your teeth in the desired position. Retainers decrease the likelihood of teeth falling out of position by allowing gums, bones, and ligaments to rearrange around teeth after Invisalign. It is important to wear your retainers as instructed by your orthodontist in order to maintain the results of your treatment. You should also continue with basic oral care, such as brushing and flossing twice a day, seeing your dentist twice a year, and staying in contact with your orthodontist.
If you damage your retainer or if something doesn't seem right to you, contact your specialist right away so that they can evaluate the problem and correct any potential issues. The data from the scan and impressions taken during the refinement process are sent to Invisalign so that a set of aligners can be built for your teeth and the steps needed to slowly adjust their position. This is the final sprint to ensure that all the hard work you put into moving your teeth to their ideal positions is retained. By following these steps, you can ensure that your orthodontic treatment results last well beyond treatment.
With proper maintenance and care, you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come!.
