With the aligners being removable, you can continue to eat and drink whatever you like throughout treatment and they can be easily removed for occasions when you would rather not wear them.
To complete treatment quickly, it is recommended that you wear the aligners for around 22 hours per day and many of our patients find this easy to achieve.
With the aligners being completely clear and very discreet, no one will know you are wearing them so Invisalign really is one of the best options for those who would rather keep their orthodontic treatment private.
Yes, Lamia & Leah are our treatment coordinators and they will look after you throughout your treatment.
You should brush and rinse your aligners every day when you clean your teeth. It’s also worth using an aligner cleaning solution such as RetainerBrite (available from the practice) a couple of times a week to keep them clean and hygienic.
If you lose your next set, just keep wearing your existing ones and let us know so we can order you a replacement.
You should only drink water whilst wearing Invisalign otherwise you risk staining or damaging your teeth. Think of it as encouragement to adopt a healthy lifestyle!
Sometimes it’s necessary to create a tiny amount of space between teeth to allow them to move to their final position. To do this, we gently file between the teeth using a fine abrasive strip. This process is called IPR. It is painless and only takes a few seconds.
Yes, if you eat whilst wearing Invisalign, you risk damaging the aligners and getting food wedged between the aligner and your teeth which might cause oral hygiene problems during treatment.
A clin-check is an animation provided by Invisalign showing all the tooth movements that will take place during treatment. We use it to help support the planning of your treatment and you get an opportunity to review the finished result before you have even started treatment!
Attachments are small tooth coloured dots of composite material we may need to place on some of your teeth to help the aligner grip to the tooth to achieve a specific movement
Yes, it’s great when several members of the family get braces at the same time. You can attend appointments together, share in the experience and celebrate your amazing new smiles together!
