<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nGrowing up, you may have heard that traditional,\nmetal-based braces caused discomfort and were difficult to eat with. While\ncosmetic aligners offer somewhat of a reprieve from these issues, you may have\nbeen told that even the most famous of invisible braces, Invisalign, has been\nlinked to discomfort whilst being worn. And as an adult, who really has time\nfor that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n OK, we will start with the most unpleasant one\nfirst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our team at Clear Braces Direct in London<\/strong>\nis aware that in the first few days of wear, it is likely that you will be in\nsome discomfort with the Invisalign aligner. As you have to wear it for a\nminimum of 22 hours per day, it is important that you keep it in your mouth to\nachieve the desired long-term effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Clear Braces Direct in London<\/strong>,\nwe recommend taking over the counter pain-killers, such as Ibuprofen to help\nwith potential swelling and we also advise that you eat softer foods until the\ndiscomfort subsides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bad breath<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As unpleasant as it sounds, if you are prone to\nsnacking and then putting your aligners back in, you may find that your breath\nbegins to smell a bit off, alongside your mouth tasting bad. This is due to the\nparticles of food being trapped against the gum line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A way to avoid this is to improve your dental\nhygiene, and brush your teeth every time after you eat and drink. If you are\nunable to do so, rinsing your mouth with water will do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saliva<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With something new in your mouth, your body\u2019s\nresponse is to create excess saliva to aid digestion. Of course, as you aren\u2019t\ngoing to eat your aligners, this is a rather embarrassing issue, but not often\ntalked about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luckily, you can minimise your saliva and\nassociated issues by practising talking when you are alone. How does this help?\nIt will allow you to manage your excess saliva production without discomfort,\nmeaning that you can talk around others without feeling worried about this\nparticular side effect. Trust us, this irritating issue does resolve itself\nfairly quickly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are an adult considering cosmetic braces, you probably don\u2019t have the time to mess around.
