– Invisalign features breakthrough technology that allows the aligners to be detached at will, which means there are no food restrictions, and you can eat as your heart desires, as long as you remove the treatments before each meal.
– Invisalign removes the stigma of outmoded braces by allowing them to be worn discreetly, often without others noticing them.
– Invisalign aligners are extremely effective at correcting various oral health ailments including pain from TMJ disorders, damage caused by bruxism, and most of all, malocclusions, which are bad bites and misalignments with your smile.
– As your treatment progresses, so too will your aligners, which can be easily removed and replaced if necessary.
– Invisalign aligners are skillfully crafted without the use of metals thanks to their patented thermoplastic design, which allows them to be fully customized and designed to fit the needs of each patient.

Aligning crooked or crowded teeth doesn’t only result in an attractive smile, correcting a “bad bite,” also results in a healthier mouth. In honor of October’s National Orthodontic Health Month, we are sharing four tips to help protect your braces and your smile while enjoying the upcoming holidays.

#1- To protect braces, with their brackets, orthodontic bands, and arch wires, please avoid candy or snacks which are hard, sticky, crunchy or chewy such as caramel or bubblegum. Never chew ice, and watch out for popcorn, nuts, candies with nuts inside, and peanut candies in the hard-shell.

#2- If you are indulging in extra sugary treats due to the holiday, beat cavities by stepping up your brushing and flossing game. Brush carefully around all of your brackets and wires, focusing on places where your teeth meet your gums and where your braces attach to your teeth.

#3- To protect your braces, stick with soft chocolates, peppermint patties, peanut butter cups and other treats that melt in your mouth and can easily be washed away.

#4- For our patients wearing braces who also engage in sports, wearing mouth guards will protect your lips and your cheeks from cuts or damaged braces should you accidentally get hit in the face or fall down.

At Rivera Orthodontics in El Paso, Texas, we offer a variety of braces for our patients of all ages seeking an aligned smile. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please call 915-592-5853 today. Dr. Jaime Rivera along with the rest of our dedicated team, are excited to help you enjoy the holiday celebrations while maintaining your healthy smile!
