Accelerated Invisalign with Propel
How teeth move
Teeth move by a healing process of bone regeneration, a constant breaking down and rebuilding of cells. Propel agitates this regeneration process to cut your treatment time down up to 75%.
Day of procedure
- Soreness is expected. As long as you’re not allergic to acetaminophin, take 2 Tylenol for pain every 6 hours as needed.
- Keep your trays in till you take them out for dinner. After dinner, brush and floss normally then put the trays back in.
- Avoid extreme flavors (sour, spicy) or temperatures. Cuts will heal in 48 to 72 hours.
- The gums have little pinpoints from the procedure. These will heal within 72 hours. Pink saliva is normal. Wear a mask if you need to cover the pink until it resolves.
Compliance is Key
In order for the bone regeneration process to continue to move at a rapid pace, constant agitation is necessary. This is accomplished by chewing your chewies up to 5 hours a day. With your trays in, use chewies while typing or watching a movie daily. Without chewies, the acceleration process will slow and possibly halt.
Wear your trays 22 hours per day. Contact the office with any fit concerns.
Appointments
At each appointment, always bring your current and previous tray with you to ensure you’re right on track.
Eating/Drinking
Only drink water while wearing your trays. To prevent staining, do not drink any colored beverages. Take the trays out to eat, brush/floss, then put them right back in.
Clean your trays with a soft toothbrush and water.
Retention is for Life
In order to maintain your results, you must wear your retainers at the end of your treatment. Eventually you can switch to nighttime wear only, or have a permanent W retainer installed, but retention is for life.
Call with any questions or concerns.
