A dental crown is a reliable way to restore a severely damaged or decayed tooth. You will regain its function and appearance, but you will have a short recovery period after the procedure. That said, you might be wondering what to expect after it’s placed. Here’s a short guide to help you get prepared and tips to make the process smoother.

One of the biggest perks of Invisalign is that you can remove your aligners whenever you eat. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets or wires to work around when you brush and floss. But that convenience comes with an important responsibility: You need to keep your teeth clean before putting your aligners back in.

Flossing during Invisalign treatment is especially important because food particles and plaque can become trapped between your teeth and beneath your aligners. Taking a few extra minutes to clean your smile can help protect your teeth and gums while you work toward a straighter smile.
