The everyday Invisalign\u00ae<\/a> wearer in\u00a0Grapevine, TX<\/a> looks forward to the end of treatment where they can see their beautiful, unhindered smile! But for some, white spots appear on their teeth. These white spots are known as demineralization. Some patients question if\u00a0the plastic covering their teeth is drying out their mouth and causing white spots because there’s no saliva to remineralize the teeth, but demineralization can happen to anyone, even people who don\u2019t wear braces.<\/p>\n

Demineralization occurs when food is left on the teeth to interact with bacteria (otherwise known as plaque). This causes acid to form and this acid is what eats away at the calcium and phosphate of the teeth causing white spots or demineralization. Noteworthy, these spots can be sensitive and can lead to cavities. Invisalign\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0is good for trapping foods and liquids which is one of the reasons why consuming anything other than water requires the removal of your aligners.<\/p>\n

Here at Smiles by Martin we work hard to establish good oral hygiene with all our patients. Dr. Greg Martin<\/a> offers these tips to\u00a0Invisalign\u00ae wearers in\u00a0Grapevine, TX to help minimize white spots:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Brush your teeth thoroughly after eating (this is also a good time to clean your Invisalign\u00ae\u00a0aligners)<\/p>\n

\u2014 Floss once a day<\/p>\n

\u2014 Use a fluoride rinse daily<\/p>\n

\u2014 Limit sugary sodas and juices<\/p>\n

Remember to brush thoroughly and often, and keep up with your visits to Smiles by Martin<\/a>. Do that and you\u2019ll have the best smile in Grapevine, TX! And if you have any questions about\u00a0Invisalign\u00ae or your oral hygiene please feel free to contact us at 817.481.1041<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
