Is Invisalign treatment permanent?

Yes if you wear retainers for indefinitely.

How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

It depends on whether they are impacted. It could take a weekend or a week.

How do you pull your own tooth out?

Not recommended. You could break off the tooth and any infection present would remain and worsen in the bone around the site.

Do I need to floss if I use Invisalign?

Yes you need to floss. The dental plaque that you remove while flossing is still present(even more abundant) while you are wearing the Invisalign aligners.

Why do dentists drill before filling?

The drilling is done to remove active decay. If that decay is left it will continue to destroy healthy tooth structure.

What is the importance of using dental floss?
