Movemints Clear Aligner Mints, Pack of 7

Product Information

Wearing Invisalign aligners lets you maintain a discreet appearance while straightening your teeth. However, it's crucial to prioritize oral hygiene and fresh breath during your treatment. Invisalign-friendly mints, also known as Invisalign breath fresheners or Invisalign breath mints, offer a convenient solution to keep your breath fresh without compromising the effectiveness of your aligner treatment. Let's dive into why Movemints are the perfect choice for Invisalign wearers. What are Movemints? Everyone knows that taking care of your teeth is important. But, even if you take excellent care of your teeth, you’ll have to step it up while wearing clear aligners. When you wear aligners, your teeth and gums are more at risk of bacteria and plaque buildup collecting underneath your aligners. That’s why, at minimum, you should brush and floss your teeth after each meal. Your mouth can use a massage as well, which is exactly why your orthodontist may have recommended biting or chewing exercises for you to perform. At my practice, we recommend at least 3-4 times for several minutes each day (especially when re-inserting). When you are wearing your Invisalign for 22+ hours a day, you should have some easily accessible pain relief remedies like these: 3. Do Chewing Exercises to Relieve Pain Wearing clear aligners for 22 hours a day is going to straighten your teeth, but they may be less white at the end of treatment. Even the most diligent teeth brushing can’t always combat the natural discoloration that may occur over months of wearing retainers.

In addition to their aligner-friendly design and refreshing properties, Movemints offer a unique advantage that sets them apart from other mints. They are specifically formulated to help combat dry mouth , a common side effect of wearing Invisalign aligners. The aligners cover the surfaces of your teeth, limiting the exposure to saliva and potentially causing dryness. Movemints are sweetened using xylitol to stimulate saliva production, providing natural moisture and alleviating the discomfort associated with dry mouth. By incorporating Movemints into your routine, you can enjoy not only minty freshness but also relief from the symptoms of dry mouth, ensuring a more comfortable Invisalign experience. Where to Find Movemints: We’ve also heard that some people (on the internet at least) are asking how to remove Invisalign attachments yourself. Under no circumstances should you attempt to remove attachments on your own! First of all, they are on for a reason, and when your provider determines they’ve done their job, they’ll get them off for you. The process is relatively painless, though it does involve using the drill to wear away the resin. Watch this video if you’re really curious to see Invisalign attachments removed (and you’ll also see why you shouldn’t do it yourself!). Removable clear retainers offer the best combination of aesthetics, hygiene, and flexibility. While they do require diligent wear and maintenance, clear retainers are generally the better choice over fixed metal retainers for most patients after braces. A removable clear r etainer provides more comfort and convenience in the long run. Clear Retainers: Lifespan and Maintenance This wonder-solution is a safe, fast-acting cleansing agent you can spray on your clear aligners. Unlike other spray on solutions, Smile Saver Spray uses a peroxide-free, sugar-free, and alcohol-free formula you can use on-the-go, without needing to rinse the trays or spit out any unpleasant aftertastes.

Embarking on your Invisalign journey means achieving a straighter smile without the hassle of traditional braces. But what about those moments when you crave a refreshing mint to combat bad breath? Are mints compatible with Invisalign? In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of Invisalign-seating mints, currently the best and only option available: Movemints. Say goodbye to stale breath and hello to minty freshness with these aligner-friendly mints ! The Importance of Invisalign-Friendly Mints: It’s a very important question, because if your clear aligners are loose they aren’t going to move teeth as effectively. While we have remedies like Invisalign attachments or buttons, there are good habits patients can adopt to prevent the need for refinements. In this blog, we’ll take a look at why your Invisalign trays may not be fitting correctly, and what you can do to resolve the issues. Here’s what we’ll cover: I hear these questions from my patients all the time. But truthfully, most adults experience more significant aches and pains in other parts of their bodies than we do with clear aligners. Because we've been dealing with these discomforts for so long, we've just learned to cope with them. The same will be true with your clear aligners...in time. Caffeine, sugar, and alcohol can often cause dehydration in consumers. This often results in dry mouth in patients who currently wear invisible trays. No one wants to deal with pain while trying to fall asleep, so follow these tips to stay comfortable and get a good night’s rest: 5. Switch to New Trays Before BedtimeDuring your first week of treatment, you may experience pain from Invisalign cutting your tongue. These mouth sores are not fun, so be proactive in preventing them. Learn how to use dental wax (like this GUM Orthodontic Wax) on some of the rougher edges, which can be a real easy fix especially if you're on the go. If dental wax doesn't cut it, an emery board or nail file can be used to smooth out any really rough patches, or ask your Orthodontist to file it down for you. Clear aligners work by moving your teeth into new positions using orthodontic force. But they only work if they fit correctly. For years, orthodontists only had one seating aid to give their patients: foam chewies. Chewies work, but they aren’t convenient for patients on the go, and if they aren’t cleaned regularly they can become ridden with bacteria and downright funky. Finally, those cold plastic trays are just kind of a nuisance, and one that hangs with you for 22 hours each day. You will undoubtedly experience some irritation as your gums and tongue rub against the aligners, especially in the first few days of a new set. Okay, so what can I do about the pain?

Clear aligners work quite literally by forcing your teeth into new positions using a succession of hard plastic trays for 22 hours each day. Think about it: If there wasn't some pain and discomfort, you may wonder if the treatment is even working. With that said, if your goal is to treat a more mild case of crowding or spacing without the use of attachments, you can potentially save money, skip the extra trips to the dentist, and achieve comparable results by opting for at-home clear aligner treatment. Several popular online aligner companies like Byte and Smile Direct make the process easy to do from your own home, and you still have a dentist or orthodontist to oversee your care remotely and without the use of attachments. Do Invisalign Attachments Hurt?Hawley Retainers - Hawley retainers tend to last longer than clear plastic retainers—you can count on them for anywhere from 5-8 years. If you are really worried about staining, be mindful of coffee or red wine or other beverages that cause discoloration. If you can avoid them while you have your attachments, that’s best, but know that even if you do get some stains, they’ll be hardly noticeable behind your trays which you’ll be wearing for 22 hours a day!

Another reason Invisalign pain occurs during the clear aligner journey is because our eating, drinking, chewing and swallowing habits all change quite radically. As your teeth move, your bite changes. As your bite changes, you chew differently, and as you chew differently you put pressure on teeth that aren't accustomed to that pressure. Because your gums are like your muscles, new activity in strange places leaves your mouth tired and achy in the morning. As a former clear aligner patient and practicing Orthodontist, I know a thing or two about Invisalign bad breath. It's one of the primary concerns my patients have when they embark on their clear aligner journey. Always put in a new pair of aligners before bed : When you switch aligners, typically every two weeks, it can be painful for the first 24-48 hours as your teeth adjust. To mitigate the discomfort associated with a new pair of aligners, make the switch just before bed. That way, your teeth and gums will have time to get used to the new aligners while you are asleep. When you wake up the next morning, your teeth will already be adjusting to the new aligner tray. Aligner-Friendly Design: Movemints' unique and patented shape is tailored to accommodate your aligners, allowing you to enjoy a minty freshness without worrying about disrupting the alignment process or damaging your aligners. Their patented grooved design ensures a comfortable fit, so you can wear your aligners and enjoy your mints simultaneously. It dissolves nicely. It doesn’t leave a white sediment in my mouth nor does it leave any tiny bits or pieces. You aren’t chewing it as if to eat it. Simply bite down on it and feel your aligner slide into place.Clear aligner patients should learn how to clean Invisalign the right way. Most people simply clean them at the same time they brush their teeth, but that isn’t always sufficient. To help prevent Invisalign dry mouth, you can follow a series of simple tips for cleaning your clear aligners, including:
