The more you look into orthodontics, you may have noticed that traditional braces aren’t the only option anymore. Invisalign<\/a> is on the rise as it is much more discreet and comfortable. They are trays you wear over your smile, but how do they pair against teeth grinding? You may wonder if this treatment is an option if you have this habit, so here’s what you need to know to get your healthier bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Quick Invisalign Refresher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, Invisalign is thin, plastic trays you wear that sit over your teeth. They apply gentle pressure on them, slowly shifting them into their desired positions. You’ll have to wear them for 20 to 22 hours every day to keep them effective. Not only that, but you\u2019ll swap over to your next set every week or two to keep your treatment going smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Are Aligners Still an Option If I Grind My Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that Invisalign can still be a reliable and effective treatment if you grind your teeth! This habit is known as bruxism, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily cause an issue because of how often you\u2019ll wear new trays. For many, the frequency of it is enough to avoid any trouble that the habit can cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the aligners may actually be able to help you with your teeth grinding. Your teeth may have more wear and tear on them, but this treatment can offer a small barrier. It can help protect your smile a bit from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to know that you may notice your Invisalign trays wearing out faster than other people. While it may not stop them from working, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll need a replacement depending on how often you grind your teeth. By partnering with your dentist, they\u2019ll be able to anticipate it more and help you avoid any delays to your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can I Tell Invisalign Is Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For some patients, Invisalign may actually help out with bruxism! The way your teeth come together may change, making it harder to grind them. However, the only way you can tell if Invisalign is a good choice for you is by scheduling a consultation. Your dentist will be able to give you a more accurate recommendation for getting the straighter smile you love. That way, you can get results you feel more comfortable with and enjoy a healthier bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
