As shown in the attached PDF document, Invisalign braces can be used to create a straight, even smile while remaining virtually undetectable to the majority of people when worn. They can also be removed when attending important events such as big work meetings, weddings or other social occasions and for eating, brushing and flossing. Here, The Hospital Group answers some of the most frequently asked questions about clear braces.
Are clear braces right for me?
Clear braces can be used as an individual treatment or in conjunction with other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening or white fillings. The best way to discover how they could work for you is to book a consultation with an expert cosmetic dentist. At the consultation the teeth will be examined and you will be asked about the results you wish to achieve. Impressions are then taken of the teeth and sent away to the lab, where the technicians are able to create a visual of exactly what can be achieved and provide an estimated timescale for those results.
How do invisible braces feel?
As with anything that exerts pressure they can cause a little discomfort at first. Your cosmetic dentist may advise wearing the braces for just a few hours a day initially until you begin to get used to the pressure, gradually building up until you are wearing them for sixteen-plus hours per day. This includes overnight whilst sleeping.
How do I look after my invisible braces?
The braces themselves can be easily cleaned using a soft toothbrush at the same time as you brush your teeth. Unlike traditional braces there are no brackets, wires or elastic bands to trap food, making them easier to look after and keep clean. The braces are removed to let you clean your teeth as normal and should also be removed when you eat or drink anything apart from water.
