Achieve Your Perfect Smile with Invisible Braces in Cornwall

Unlike fixed braces, you wear the aligners 22 hours a day and only remove them when eating, drinking and brushing teeth. It is important to adhere to the instructed wearing period in order to achieve the predicted treatment results.

We recommend that patients wear the Aligner for up to 20 hours per day, a long day, but still far, far superior to the old-fashioned fixed brace system.

Clean your aligners twice a day with the toothbrush. Do not use toothpaste, as the aligners may go cloudy. It is best to use a cold water and mild soap to clean the aligners. Hot water will damage the material and warp it. The aligners will then lose their shape and become unusable. Thorough and proper care will keep your aligners in perfect condition.

You can drink cold water with the aligners still in your mouth. However, hot drinks can damage or warp the aligners. Generally, you should remove the aligners when eating and drinking and store them in the container provided. After eating or drinking something, you should brush your teeth because the saliva cannot remineralise your teeth as usual. Don’t forget to rinse your aligners with running water before reinserting them.

In order to get the best results, it is best to have regular review appointments. This will ensure that your Clear Aligner treatment is going to plan and will allow your dentist to make any minor amendments to your treatment plan.

Due to the micro thin nature of Clear Aligners, it usually only takes a few hours to adjust to wearing them. Occasionally, it may take a little longer. When you change to the next aligner, you will not notice any difference, due to the minor adjustments of each stage of your Clear Aligner treatment plan.

No. You can carry on your normal daily life without any restrictions during your Clear aligner treatment.

If left to their own devices, your teeth can move after treatment is complete. To prevent this and to maintain your perfect smile, your dentist will advise you on the best type of retainer. This is not required to be worn during the day.
