HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR INVISALIGN
To properly care for your Invisalign aligners from Soda City Dentistry in Cayce, SC, follow these tips:
Keep Them Safe
Store your aligners in their case when not in use to avoid loss or damage. Avoid placing them in hot water or leaving them exposed to heat, as this can warp or distort the aligners.
Clean Daily
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water every time you remove them to prevent bacteria buildup. Brush them gently with a toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to keep them clean.
Maintain Oral Hygiene
Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners to prevent food particles and plaque from becoming trapped against your teeth.
Avoid Staining
Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining. If you do consume colored beverages or foods, be sure to brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners.
INVISALIGN VS. TRADITIONAL METAL BRACES
When comparing orthodontic options, it's natural to question the effectiveness of traditional metal braces. At Soda City Dentistry, we offer Invisalign treatment, providing numerous advantages over traditional braces:
Shorter Treatment Time
Invisalign clear aligners typically require 6 to 12 months for completion, compared to the year or more often associated with metal braces, reducing overall treatment duration.
Normal Diet Habits
Unlike metal braces, which can restrict eating certain foods, Invisalign allows you to remove the aligner trays before meals, enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
Improved Oral Hygiene
With Invisalign, maintaining oral hygiene is easier as you can remove the trays for brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of food particles becoming trapped between teeth and braces.
Gum and Lip Protection
Metal braces can cause mouth abrasions and discomfort, particularly during physical activities like sports. Invisalign aligners can be easily removed before engaging in activities, minimizing the risk of injury to gums and lips.

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
The staff at Soda City Dentistry are the best! I’ve always been afraid of the dentist and have never had anything close to an issue or fear with them. They are caring, understanding, and make you feel so comfortable. You get to look at the beautiful view of Soda City while you wait and the chairs even massage as you’re getting your work done! Someone is always checking in to make sure you are comfy and offering a weighted blanket, water, or anything else you might need. They are seriously the best. I’m making an out of state move soon and will still be traveling to come to this dentist. Soda City Dentistry is by far the best dental practice I’ve ever been seen at :)
