Pushing your tongue against your teeth can have various effects on the dentition, depending on the force applied, duration, and frequency of the habit. Here are the potential outcomes:

Occasional pressure of the tongue against the teeth is generally harmless. However, chronic tongue pressure, especially in the form of tongue thrusting, can lead to dental misalignment, bite problems, and speech issues over time. If this is a chronic habit, Dr. Azizi might recommend myofunctional therapy or a habit-breaking appliance.

 Clean Your Invisalign Like a Pro

Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is essential—not just for a healthy smile, but for your overall oral health. When wearing Invisalign®, knowing the right cleaning routine can prevent plaque buildup, bad breath, and staining.

? For Invisalign®

Clear aligners are removable, but that doesn't mean they're maintenance-free. Here's how to keep them crystal clear and odor-free:

✅ Daily Cleaning Routine

• Rinse every time you remove them: This prevents saliva and bacteria from drying on the surface.

• Use a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented soap: Brush gently to avoid scratching. Avoid toothpaste—it can be too abrasive.

• Soak once a day: Use Invisalign cleaning crystals, denture tablets, or a mix of white vinegar and lukewarm water (equal parts). Soak for 15–30 minutes.

• Avoid hot water: It can warp the plastic and ruin the fit.

❌ What to Avoid

• No colored soaps or mouthwash—they can stain the trays.

• No abrasive toothpaste.

• Don't eat or drink (except water) with your aligners.
