Okay, so the chances are you\u2019re reading this post because your smile is not something you\u2019re proud of…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be it crooked teeth, gapped teeth, or an overbite, Invisalign braces are definitely a great choice. However before you rush into this type of orthodontic treatment it pays to get some important facts straight. Here are a few things we thought you might like to know before your Invisalign appointment:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You do have to wear them<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Despite the fact that Invisalign aligners are removable, you must wear your aligners for approximately 22 hours a day in order to get the best results \u2013 Sorry but there\u2019s absolutely no way around it!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You might not be able to see them, but you can hear them<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      While no one can see<\/em> that you\u2019re wearing invisible braces \u2013 they might just be able to hear that you are. But don\u2019t worry, this is totally normal and any lisps caused by Invisalign will generally go away within a few weeks.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Invisalign isn\u2019t for everyone<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Invisalign is great for the majority of orthodontic issues, such as minor over\/under bites, crooked, or gapped teeth but do bear in mind that it\u2019s not ideal in complex cases.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Your toothbrush will become your new best friend<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Every time you eat, you need to brush your teeth before putting the aligner back into your mouth. This is so that whatever you\u2019ve just enjoyed isn\u2019t nicely showcased in your clear aligner. In your efforts to keep up appearances, we’re sure that a discreet travel toothbrush and toothpaste will become your new essentials whilst you’re out and about.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Weight loss is a bonus side effect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Who\u2019d have thought that while gaining a gorgeous smile you\u2019ll also shake off some unwanted pounds? When you\u2019re forced to remove your aligners and brush your teeth after every meal or snack, it certainly makes you think twice about what you\u2019re unnecessarily stuffing in your mouth come those 2pm cravings\u2026is it really<\/em> worth the hassle?<\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Treatment might take longer than you think<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Invisalign treatment can be quicker than other treatments and what’s more you’ll find out exactly how long you\u2019ll need to wear them for. But hold on\u2026you want perfection right? Well often after your last aligner, be aware that you may need a few more extra little tweaks here and there to achieve it.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. It\u2019s (almost) painless<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Compared to sore teeth after having metal braces tightened, Invisalign is a breeze. However you may notice mild pressure on your teeth. The good news is that it causes very little discomfort which soon fades.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. You need to clean the aligners<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Since you’ll be wearing your aligners all day for 14 days, it’s likely that they’ll lose their clear look. This is why they need cleaning. However don\u2019t use toothpaste to clean them, it’s way too abrasive. Instead stick to a clear anti-bacterial soap or a quick soak in Retainer Brite.<\/p>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. You still need to wear a retainer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    But thankfully only at night time and you can always talk to us about having a fixed retainer instead. This is attached to the back of your teeth and can reduce the inconvenience factor.<\/p>\n

                    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. It\u2019s definitely worth it<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Aside from all the regular brushing and the occasional embarrassment of removing aligners in public, a little bit of sacrifice is a small price to pay for the confidence you\u2019ll gain from having beautifully straight teeth –\u00a0 For this reason alone, we believe that Invisalign is definitely worth it!<\/p>\n

                       <\/p>\n
