Not so with invisible braces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So,\nwhen you choose <strong>Aura Dental<\/strong> to\nundertake your invisible braces, we will aim to provide you with as many day to\nday tips to make the transition into wearing the brace as comfortable as\npossible. Indeed, we are specialists when it comes to invisible braces like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auradentallondon.co.uk\/invisalign-st-johns-wood.html\">Invisalign in St\nJohn\u2019s Wood<\/a> and are happy and able to answer any questions that you may\nhave about this brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what are some of the day-to-day concerns that\nour patients have about <strong>Invisalign in St Johns Wood<\/strong>?\nRead on to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I take them out whenever I want?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As tempting as it is to take this brace out, it\nis not advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can remove it to eat food, drink\ntea or brush your teeth but apart from that, you should aim to keep it in for\n20-22 hours each day, or as often as our dentist recommends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fully see the benefits of <strong>Invisalign in St\nJohns Wood<\/strong>,\nit may be initially advisable to keep the brace in your mouth except for when\nit is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>They look stained; how can I clean them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These clear braces are quite easy to clean;\nsimply run them under a lukewarm tap to remove any surface stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that doesn\u2019t work, use a soft-bristled\ntoothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to gently clean the area. Do not\nuse hot water or mouthwash, as these can damage the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long will I need to wear each aligner for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on how many aligners you have, the\nseverity of your misalignment and how often our dentist recommends changing the\naligners. You should expect to change the trays every 2 weeks but talk to our\nteam for more personalised advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My tongue is sore- is it related to the brace?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to wearing this brace, you may\ndevelop some sore spots around your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask our team for some dental wax to soften the\nharsh edges of the aligner until they naturally soften.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When will I start to see results?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this will vary.\n\nMany of our patients see a change in their dental\nalignment within the first 2 weeks of wearing invisible braces.
