E komo mai! Dr. Malia Kamisugi welcomes you to our Hi Smile Orthodontic ohana. We are a quality-oriented small practice by design, and we strive to deliver aloha and warmth to each of our patients. Our office has a fun, relaxed, "beach theme" so you feel more like you are spending time by the water than getting your teeth worked on.
Our practice invests in the latest orthodontic technology for the ease and convenience of our patients. We treat people of all ages and we are proud to offer: Traditional Metal Braces, Ceramic Brackets, Invisalign Clear Aligners, and much more.
With Invisalign after I've finished eating/drinking, should I brush my teeth immediately, as I was told it's best to wait at least 30 mins because it can damage the enamel. What do you advise? Also, is it safe to water floss immediately or should I wait 30 mins again?
Honestly I've done both, brushing right after and brushing after a bit of allotted time. I think if you use a sensitive brush and a sensitive toothpaste you should be pretty good. I've noticed with how much I do brush after eating/drinking, my teeth have definitely whitened compared to my previous habits. I'm currently on week 3 and had no issues with my teeth besides being considerably more white due to more brushing.
Thank you! A few hours of wearing and the inside of my cheek is all cut up! I ended up snipping and filing, and then thought to check google. Was happy to see you doing the exact same thing! :)
