Invisible aligners are made for each patient using 3D scans of their\nteeth. Patients wear a series of aligners over a period of several months, with\neach aligner gently moving the teeth a little closer to their final position.\nThe aligners are made from clear and flexible plastic and are virtually\ninvisible, making them a popular choice for people who want a discreet\ntreatment option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are invisible aligners uncomfortable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people experience some discomfort or\nsoreness when they first start wearing their aligners or switch to a new set.\nThis is because the teeth are being moved into a new position. However, this\nsoreness is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief\nlike paracetamol and ibuprofen. Some people also experience a lisp or speech\nimpediment when they first start wearing their aligners, but this typically\nceases after a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How long do I need to wear invisible aligners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The length of time a person needs to wear\ninvisible aligners depends on the severity of their misalignment and their\ntreatment goals. In general, most people wear their aligners for 12-18 months,\nalthough some treatments may take longer. It’s important to wear the aligners\nfor at least 22 hours a day to get the best results. If you are struggling with\nthis, please call our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you eat and drink with invisible aligners in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You should avoid eating and drinking anything\nother than water while wearing your invisible aligners. This is because the\naligners can become stained or damaged, and food particles can get trapped\nbetween the aligners and your teeth, increasing the risk of tooth decay. You\nshould remove your aligners before eating or drinking and clean your teeth\nbefore putting them back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you clean invisible aligners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To clean your invisible aligners, you should brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a mild soap or detergent. Avoid using toothpaste, as this can scratch the aligners and make them more visible. You should also rinse your aligners with warm water before and after wearing them. It’s important to keep your aligners clean to prevent any building up of bacteria and plaque, which can cause bad breath and other dental problems. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are an adult who feels that you have missed the window to straighten your teeth, don’t panic!
