It is suitable for most people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth may feel loose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you had a friend in your teenage years or\nchildhood who was wearing fitted braces, you may remember that they complained\nthat their teeth felt loose. This can be very scary but it is not uncommon,\neven when you are using invisible aligners. Remember this is a tool designed to\nmove your teeth and so, there may be a bit of intermittent wobbling when you\nare wearing the aligners. If you have concerns about how loose your teeth feel,\nthen please call our team urgently for a check-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There may be buttons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There may be additional requirements for your\ninvisible aligner to work successfully. One of these is a button or buttons,\nwhich our team attaches to your teeth with dental cement to improve tracking or\nfitting. These will be tooth coloured so don’t worry and the fitting will not\nhurt. Try to think of them as almost invisible brackets which will be used to\nhold the aligners on and improve the realignment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your oral hygiene will improve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot of brushing and flossing involved\nwhen it comes to wearing invisible aligners. You will need to brush your teeth\nafter you finish eating, alongside after drinking sugary beverages. Not\nforgetting the prerequisite brushing twice a day! So it is highly likely that\nwhilst you wear invisible aligners, your dental hygiene will improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be quick!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, one more thing is that the treatment\nis likely to be very quick for most of our patients. Invisible aligners are\nonly usually required for between 3 to 6 months but remember for your deadline\nto stick, you will need to adhere to wearing the aligners for a minimum of 22\nhours per day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
