Invisalign is an invisible orthodontic brace made up of two splints that are placed on the upper tooth line and another on the lower tooth line. Unlike other braces, there is no element that joins them together. In some cases, can give you some dry mouth feelHow do you remove it? We explain it to you. Remember that if you have any doubts about orthodontics and you live in Valencia, you can count on our clinic.At Consuelo Badía's orthodontics clinic we are specialists in orthodontics for children, especially with regard to Invisalign. The little ones are the most demanding clients, and they let us know about any discomfort they notice. One that is relatively common is dry mouth. How should you react to this as a parent?
First of all, you have to reassure them. It is not that Invisalign leaves your mouth dry, but that every time you put something in your mouth the flow of saliva is slightly interrupted, giving the sensation of dryness. This sensation may appear at the beginning of treatment and disappears after a few days. Within a week or two, your dwarf won't even remember he's wearing it.
The sensation of dry mouth passes after the first few days of treatment.
What you should never do is to allow him to eat ice cream or drink soft drinks, not even with a straw with Invisalign in place, as this could cause injury to the splints. What you can do is remove it, drink a little water and put it back in.
Invisalign needs to be worn for about 22 hours a day to be effective; the more the better, of course, but there is no problem to pick it up if you need it.wash it and put it back on.
