A local dentist explains how following instructions and using PROPEL\u00ae &amp; VPRO\u00ae Accelerated Orthodontics can have you seeing beautiful, long-lasting results in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of Following Your Dentist\u2019s Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of starting Invisalign treatment is to straighten your smile, correct? Choosing to see a trusted dentist who can deliver optimal results in less time is one of the greatest benefits associated with these clear aligners. But as a patient, you cannot rely solely on these clear trays to do all the work. You, too, must be an active player in making sure your teeth continue to move in the right direction without any delays. To do this, you will need to follow these helpful guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Wear your aligners at least 20-22 hours each day, only taking them out to eat, drink, or clean them.<\/li><li>Regularly brush your trays before reinserting them to keep bacteria and saliva from damaging your aligners.<\/li><li>Be mindful of your aligners when wearing and handling them, as accidentally eating with your trays in could cause damage or placing them in a napkin instead of a protective case could cause them to inadvertently be thrown away.<\/li><li>Keep your follow-up appointments with your dentist to ensure no problems are developing and everything is moving along smoothly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Ways to Reduce Time Spent Wearing Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two safe and effective ways to speed up Invisalign treatment are PROPEL\u00ae Orthodontics and VPro\u2122. With accelerated orthodontics like these, you can cut your time spent wearing Invisalign nearly in half! Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>PROPEL \u2013 <\/strong>Requiring a minimally invasive procedure, your dentist will make small holes in your jawbone. The use of PROPEL makes it possible for your bone to shift and redevelop much faster while undergoing Invisalign treatment.<\/li><li><strong>VPro<\/strong><strong>\u2122 &#8211; <\/strong>Should you choose, your dentist can equip you with a small, handheld device that is designed to be worn for five minutes each day while wearing your aligners. Its minimal vibrations allow for your teeth to move quicker while encouraging your trays to fit more comfortably. As a result, you\u2019ll enjoy an easier treatment that requires less time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As it is with so many other aspects of society, it\u2019s no surprise that immediate satisfaction is quickly finding its way into the field of dentistry and orthodontics. If you\u2019re looking to straighten your smile with Invisalign, don\u2019t be afraid to ask about additional solutions that will grant you quicker results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Masha Kogan attended New York University for her undergraduate degree before going on to NYU\u2019s College of Dentistry.
