FAQs
❓How often should we change the aligners?
🗣Typically, every one to two weeks, depending on your child’s progress and Dr. Mustafa’s recommendation.
❓What happens if my child loses or damages an aligner?
🗣We can easily replace it. Always keep the previous aligner to maintain progress until the new one arrives.
❓Are there foods my child should avoid during treatment?
🗣No restrictions, since aligners are removed during meals. Just make sure to brush before putting them back in.
❓How do we clean the aligners properly?
🗣Rinse with cool water and use a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water as it can warp the material.
❓Will my child need a retainer after Invisalign First?
🗣Yes, once treatment is complete, retainers help maintain the new alignment as adult teeth come in.
❓What if my child forgets to wear the aligners for a day?
🗣Wearing time matters, but one missed day is not critical. Resume wearing them as directed and mention it at your next checkup.
