What is Massaging the Aligners Over the Teeth

• The orthodontist will discuss the messaging procedure with you shortly after your system is in place. The Invisalign system is a system that uses various sets of aligners. You will have to change your aligners every two weeks for the duration of the treatment. The orthodontist may place some attachments to the front of some of your teeth, and those attachments will help to grip the aligners better when you put them on. The attachments are similar to those of braces, and they help to pull the teeth into the correct position.
• A massage is a procedure in which you take your thumb and your finger and sort of push the aligner into the attachment further. The specialist will most likely recommend that you do that procedure at least once a day for the first three days after you change to a new set of aligners. The procedure is very easy to do, and you can do it while you are lying back and relaxing if you like.

 

The Benefits of Massaging the Aligners

• Massaging the aligners over the teeth has several benefits to it. One of it is that it causes the aligners to grip better. The gripping makes the teeth shift in a more predictable fashion so that you and the specialist can see the results that you want to see.

Use Chewies

• Chewies are extra items that you can ask for that can help to keep the aligners in place. They are cylindrical pieces that have a soft and spongy texture. You use them by biting down on them several times a day. Five to 15-minute sessions will provide you with the maximum amount of results. You must bite down on them with all of your teeth. That way, they will affect all of your aligner parts.
• The benefit of using chewies is that they can decrease the treatment time by tightening up the correction system so that your teeth shift quickly. Your provider may not offer many of them to you because he or she may have to order them. The lab that makes your aligners may not be the same provider that makes the chewies.
• Flavors are aplenty too...Purple with grape flavour, yellow with pineapple flavour, green with mint flavour, pink with bubblegum flavour or white unscented. The white unscented chewies are the most popular.
• You can wash the Aligner Chewies with a mild soap and reuse them several times before they lose elasticity. It is recommended to clean them after each biting session.

It only takes one minute or two minutes to floss, and it can be a valuable experience for you.
