If you’re not sure whether Invisalign Sleaford is the right option for you, read on. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about invisible braces in Sleaford
Are they invisible?
Yes. That’s what the name “Invisalign” means – not visible aligners. And that’s certainly true with these clear braces because no one can actually see them working their magic on your teeth, which is great news if you don’t like wearing traditional metal braces in Sleaford.
Can I choose the color of my aligners?
Yes, you can add a splash of color. One option is to go with standard clear aligners, which are just made with shiny white plastic – but there’s also something called custom color upgrade where we can actually paint in some color along the archwire and in front of your teeth. This will help to blend your braces, so they look more aesthetically pleasing and natural if that’s what you’re after when you come in for invisible braces in Sleaford. Either way, no one will be able to spot them from a distance!
How long do Invisalign treatments take?
Invisalign treatment time varies from person to person depending on the severity of their misaligned teeth and how crooked they are. If you want to find out more about your individual treatment time, pop in to Sleaford’s Invisalign clinics, and they can talk you through what you can expect.
I’m worried that my teeth might not move with Invisalign Sleaford. Is this a problem?
If it’s the case that your teeth won’t shift from their current position, then traditional metal braces might be a better option for you – but don’t worry if it turns out invisibly-straightened teeth are what you need because Invisalign really is one of the most effective types of braces available today! And even if some stubborn or “stuck” teeth won’t shift with the treatment, other less noticeable benefits like a straighter smile, improved jaw health, and reduced orthodontic stress might be enough to make you happy.
Do I need to wear them all the time?
Yes – that’s one of the defining characteristics of Invisalign compared to other types of braces in Sleaford. You’ll have to wear your aligners for 22 hours every day because they’ll gradually move your teeth into their new position during this time. However, you can still remove them for important social events, sporting activities, or whenever it takes more than two minutes to put them back on if you think your alignment will be affected by not wearing your invisibly-straightened braces in Sleaford.
I’m worried that my teeth might chip or break when I take them out to eat or drink. Is this a problem?
Not at all – you can still brush and floss your teeth normally when you’re wearing your invisibly-straightened braces in Sleaford; no need to panic about damaging them! And you can also remove them whenever it’s necessary for brushing, mouthwash, or regular dental checkups too. However, it is important to remember that they should always be put back on after eating and drinking to ensure the best results with invisible braces in Sleaford.
