One of the main appeals of Invisalign aligners is how incredible they look—or, rather, don’t look. Patients who are interested in straightening their smile without the need for wires and brackets are often drawn to this treatment, which is part of the reason why this procedure has become so popular.
If you’re currently going through clear aligner treatment, you might wonder how it could affect your love life. Valentines’ day is around the corner, so if don’t want your clear aligners to affect your date night, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Your Aligners Are Truly Invisible
One of the most important parts of putting yourself out there is confidence, and it can naturally be hard to feel your best if you’re concerned about the appearance of your Invisalign aligner.
It’s a good idea to remind yourself that a well-kept clear aligner is almost impossible to see once they’re on your teeth. Most people will have no idea you’re wearing them unless you mention it, meaning that there’s no need for you to be concerned about your appearance.
Bring your Carrying Case on Dinner Dates
One of the nice things about Invisalign is that it can be easily removed before meals, meaning that you can eat whatever you’d like without worrying about damaging your aligner. However, if you’re taking your Invisalign out before a dinner date it’s not a good look to just leave them on a table or tray.
You should make it a point to bring your Invisalign carrying case when you go to dinner. This allows you to keep your trays safe and store them discreetly through dinner.
Find Time for Cleaning
As you’re probably aware by now, it’s important to thoroughly clean your Invisalign aligners before putting them back on after meals. This is especially important after a date where anything left on your teeth will be apparent.
You should plan to take a few minutes after eating to clean your aligners. Excuse yourself to the bathroom for a while, and you’ll return both looking and feeling your best.
