Movemints Clear Aligner Mints, Pack of 3

Product Information

There’s a moment every August when the heat breaks, the air turns crisp, and people begin to think of Fall. For parents of children, they think about celebrating, because it also means their kids will soon be returning to school.

Another way to deal with the pain of Invisalign is to do the chewing exercises many Orthodontists recommend to their clear aligner patients. While it may seem counter-intuitive, gentle chewing stimulates nutrient-rich blood flow to the teeth and gums, providing natural pain relief. Have your child practice at home with the chewies that Invisalign provides, and know that Movemints are another handy tool especially when they are at school. The patented grooves will help your child wear their trays comfortably while they freshen breath and fight dry mouth...a real triple threat! Permanent Retainers - Permanent retainers last much longer than the previous two types of retainers. As long as your permanent retainer stays in place and doesn’t break, it can last up to 20 years without replacement. Invisalign is a great way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces, but that doesn't mean they aren't without their own challenges. Invisalign pain is one such challenge, and it is typically caused by sharp edges that cause mouth sores and abrasions. It appears that Movemint customers almost always find them effective. They generally like that the flavor is minty, but not too overpowering. Many customers say that they vastly prefer Movemints over rubber or foam chewies. Even though they work well, not everyone thinks Movemints are worth the price. Some reviewers say that they’ve found regular xylitol mints to be just as effective for less money. The number one way to treat Invisalign bad breath is to maintain a healthy saliva flow . Saliva is our mouth's natural cleansing agent, making it the number one way to keep breath fresh and prevent dry mouth. Keep that saliva flowing by drinking lots of water throughout the day. Set a goal to exceed the daily recommended intake of 15 cups for men and 11 cups for women and you'll be doing your mouth and your body good.There’s no question that Movemints can help make your aligner treatment smoother and more comfortable. But we said this was going to be an honest review, and we weren’t lying, so we’ve laid out all the pros and cons right here. Pros

Sometimes, your clear aligners aren’t sufficient to achieve your ideal smile. This can be especially true for moderate to advanced cases, where your provider has to deal with stubborn teeth or extreme gaps or crowding. In these cases, they may decide to apply attachments to your teeth to give your trays a little something extra to grip as they guide your teeth into their new position. Another general pain relief technique is to apply cold compresses to the points of discomfort. You'll appreciate being able to numb your jaws while also soothing your gums and teeth. Cold compression really does work, and I highly recommend it as a way of surviving your first week with clear aligners. Clear plastic retainers like Vivera are a popular choice to maintain teeth alignment after braces. With proper care, clear retainers typically last around 3 years before replacement is needed. 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. Invisalign mints have become increasingly popular among those who wear clear aligners. They are marketed as a way to maintain fresh breath and promote oral hygiene while undergoing orthodontic treatment. Invisalign mints and dental Chewies are a relatively new addition to the dental market, and many people are curious about their safety and effectiveness. In this article, we will take a closer look at Invisalign mints, explore their benefits, and provide an unbiased review of the Movemints brand. We will also discuss how to use Invisalign mints safely and effectively, as well as some things to keep in mind before using them. Do Invisalign Mints Work?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: To keep your aligners in tip-top shape, you should soak them with Invisalign cleaning crystals at least once a day . You can also create your own cleaner to soak them in. Whatever solution you use, it’s imperative that you soak your aligners in it to remove any food or plague that is caked onto them.

That’s why most aligner companies provide chewies, small rubber pieces you can chew to “seat” them. Cold compresses are a well known remedy for pain and swelling on any part of the body, including your mouth. If you are experiencing pain from your Invisalign after you wake up, it is probably best to start your day with a cold compress on the affected parts of your mouth. Since your teeth are shifting to their correct position overnight, you may need to give your gums some extra care in the mornings before you start your day. Usually, a cold compress can ward off pain for a few hours while you wake up. What to Do If Your Invisalign Hurts During the Day and On-the-Go It’s important to plan ahead when it comes to your Invisalign, you never know what the day might bring 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?Since there are 3 main types of retainers, there are 3 different price ranges to explore. To find out how much retainers cost to replace, let’s start with the clear plastic variety. Realism is also applied as a more general stylistic term to forms of sharply focused almost photographic painting irrespective of subject matter, e.g. early Pre-Raphaelite work such as John Everett Millais’ Ophelia. Another good idea is to have a bottle of peroxide-based mouthwash in your medicine cabinet. It is specially formulated to heal minor oral irritations during orthodontic treatment, and provides teeth and gum pain relief with a refreshing, foamy effect that really hits the spot. Keep a bottle in your medicine cabinet, and you'll be glad you did! Invisalign Tip #2: Treat your pain and discomfort To use dental wax on your clear aligners, simply remove your trays, place the dental wax around the sharp part of your aligner to cover the edge, and then replace your aligner. Once the sharp edge is covered, you should start experiencing immediate relief. Is it Okay to Smooth the Edges of My Aligners With an Emery Board? Freshens Breath with Spearmint: Movemints offer a delightful spearmint flavor that leaves your breath feeling fresh and invigorated. The natural peppermint oil in these mints works wonders in combating bad breath, ensuring you stay socially confident throughout the day.

A few other notes. Some patients can have multiple attachments placed on one tooth (it’s all about grip), and sometimes it’s necessary to have an entirely new set of attachments placed on your teeth. This is most common if you are undergoing refinements. Contrary to what you might think, attachments can wear out over time. While your provider will be keeping an eye out for this, you should certainly let them know if you feel like one has chipped or worn down significantly. Finally, at the time of this writing, attachments are the domain of orthodontists. At home providers don’t currently offer attachments with their treatment plans. 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!). Both metal and clear retainers work by applying light constant pressure to teeth to keep them from shifting. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by your orthodontist can help your newly adjusted teeth stay put.
