In fact, it is still possible to develop a cavity while you&#8217;re wearing clear aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Invisalign trays fit snugly over your teeth, it&#8217;s especially important to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment. The good news is that a few simple habits can help keep your smile healthy while your teeth are moving into their new positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Get a Cavity With Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cavities develop when bacteria in your mouth feed on sugars and produce acids that gradually wear away your tooth enamel. Wearing aligners doesn&#8217;t stop this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, food particles, plaque, and bacteria can become trapped between your teeth and your aligners if you put your trays back in without cleaning your teeth first. Because the aligners sit against your teeth for much of the day, this can give harmful bacteria more time to contribute to tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If You Develop a Cavity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice a new spot on your tooth, experience tooth sensitivity, or develop a toothache during Invisalign treatment, don&#8217;t simply wait for your next scheduled appointment. Contact your dentist so they can determine what&#8217;s causing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cavity may need to be treated while you&#8217;re still undergoing orthodontic treatment. Depending on the size and location of the cavity, your dentist can recommend an appropriate restoration and coordinate your care with your Invisalign treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t try to ignore dental problems just because you&#8217;re already seeing an orthodontic professional. Keeping your teeth healthy is just as important as moving them into alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush Before Putting Your Aligners Back In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the simplest ways to reduce your risk of cavities is to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in after meals. Flossing daily is also important because a toothbrush can&#8217;t effectively clean every space between your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can&#8217;t brush immediately after eating, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and clean your aligners before putting them back in. However, brushing and flossing as soon as you&#8217;re able is preferable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Your Aligners, Too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your teeth aren&#8217;t the only thing that needs regular cleaning. Your aligners can collect bacteria and debris throughout the day, so clean them according to your dentist&#8217;s recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid eating while wearing your aligners unless you&#8217;ve specifically been instructed otherwise. Water is generally the safest beverage to drink while your trays are in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also important to wear your aligners for the recommended amount of time each day while maintaining your oral hygiene routine. Consistency can help you stay on track with your treatment without neglecting your dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Up With Regular Dental Visits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular dental checkups remain important while you&#8217;re straightening your teeth. Your dentist can check for early signs of tooth decay, gum problems, and other changes that may need attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invisalign can help create a healthier-looking, more aligned smile, but healthy teeth still require daily care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little extra attention to your oral hygiene can help keep cavities from getting in the way of your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Anthony Dillard, a Carrollton dentist who has been practicing for well over a decade, prioritizes patient health and wellness. After studying at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of North Texas, Dr. Dillard earned his dental doctorate from Baylor College of Dentistry.
