You can keep your Clear Aligners (Invisalign®) treatment to yourself unless you choose to share the news with other people. They will more likely notice you smiling more!
-
You need to wear your Clear Aligners (Invisalign®) aligners for as long as possible each day, around 20-22 hours. Whenever your aligners are out of your mouth, your treatment is effectively on pause as your teeth are unable to gradually move. After eating, drinking or brushing your teeth, it is important to put your aligners back in your mouth as soon as possible to keep your Clear Aligners (Invisalign®) treatment on track.
-
When your Clear Aligners (Invisalign®) treatment begins, you may notice a difference in the way you speak, but this is just your mouth getting used to the feel of the aligners. You may have a slight lisp, but this will not last long before your speech returns to normal.
-
The cost of treatment depends on each individual case, with complex cases needing more aligners and therefore are more expensive. We are able to give you an exact treatment cost based on the examination and assessment we carry out during your initial consultation. We offer payment plans and finance options to help you spread the cost of treatment.
-
Retainers are a very important final stage of your Clear Aligners (Invisalign®) treatment, and are used to keep your teeth in their new straighter positions for the long term. Despite your hard work during treatment, teeth have a habit of moving out of place, so wearing a retainer prevents this from happening. Many patients wear their retainer overnight, as this doesn’t affect their daily lives but keeps their teeth straight.
