When you begin Invisalign treatment, it’s an adjustment. Your lifestyle, how you care for your teeth, how and when you eat – it all must change to factor in the wearing of clear aligners. While this sounds like a big deal at the start, it’s actually pretty simple to manage and, believe it or not, Halloween factors in seamlessly too.
Eating Treats Is Easy
If you have a sweet tooth, the last thing you want is to feel limited by Invisalign when it’s October 31. You don’t have to worry about missing out on your favorite treats. Here are some of the best ways to enjoy them:
- Eat sweets with your meal: It’s always a good idea to eat your dessert and sweets with your meal. The saliva is already flowing and your teeth are getting cleaned off as you eat. Adding in a few Halloween goodies is easy and then you clean your teeth as usual before putting the trays back in place.
- Indulge in a bunch at once: If you like to binge on your Halloween candy, that’s far better for your teeth and Invisalign. Collect all your favorites and eat them up in one sitting. You’ll get your fill and your eyes, stomach, and cravings will be curbed so you can go about the rest of Halloween night not being tempted by tiny treats.
- Just remember to take out your trays: If you don’t mind taking your aligners in and out for snacking, just remember to do it before you pop in any candy. You have the privilege of eating whatever you want as long as your potentially sensitive teeth can take it, so dig into the chewy, crunchy, or gooey stuff without any concerns.
Celebrate the Night
Most people pursue Invisalign treatment because they want straight teeth – and they want to achieve those teeth discreetly. Once the aligners are in place, they truly are hard to see, which means your costume, your smile, and all your selfies will look great and won’t be interrupted by any sort of dental care.
Invisalign is an easy, flexible orthodontic alternative. Instead of metal brackets and wires that prevent patients from digging into their favorite treats and draw attention to their mouths, Invisalign does just the opposite. It’s an invisible Halloween costume all year through with amazing results. The average treatment time is about 12 months so, by next Halloween, there’s a good chance you’ll have retired your trays and be wearing a retainer only.
