At Medina Orthodontics in Katy, TX, Dr. Liana Medina helps patients enjoy straighter teeth without sacrificing their favorite seasonal treats. Let’s look at why Invisalign is a game-changer and how you can make the most of it while staying on track with your treatment.
Invisalign works through a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gently move your teeth into place. Unlike traditional braces, which are fixed to your teeth and limit your food choices, Invisalign trays are completely removable. That means:
- No broken brackets or popped wires from biting into a caramel apple
- No skipping your favorite Halloween popcorn balls or chocolate bars
- No awkward moments trying to clean sticky candy out of metal braces
When it’s time to eat, simply pop out your aligners, enjoy your favorite treat, brush and floss, then pop your aligners back in. It’s that easy. Because you remove your aligners to eat, you’re not restricted from the typical “braces no-no” list.
Of course, moderation is key for oral health. Because you’ll be putting your aligners back in after eating, it’s important to brush and floss thoroughly. Sugary residue trapped between your teeth and the aligners can increase the risk of cavities and bad breath.
Carry a small dental kit with you if you’re out trick-or-treating, attending parties, or enjoying fall festivals. A quick brush-and-rinse can keep your smile healthy and treatment on track.
Invisalign is not only discreet and comfortable it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether you’re at a Halloween party, school event, or enjoying s’mores by a camp fire, you can eat what you like without stress. It’s also easy to take photos without your aligners if you want to flash your natural smile in costume pictures!
At Medina Orthodontics, we love helping patients enjoy the things they love while working toward a beautiful smile. If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment but don’t want to give up your favorite foods, Invisalign might be the perfect fit.
This Halloween, enjoy your candy and straighten your smile. With Invisalign...you really can have it all!
