Braces Pagham Harbour

When your teeth move, it is inevitable that you will have some aching in your mouth. You may also have some soreness whilst your mouth adjusts to wearing the aligner or braces. This initial soreness will go away after a few weeks. Ask your dentist if this is a worry, and they will be able to advise you.

This will depend on your teeth, your lifestyle, and your budget. Everyone is different, and so the best way to know is to get in touch with us. You will be given expert advice on what will be most suitable for you.

You will have to spend a little longer each day looking after your teeth. It will be very important to remove and clean your aligner before eating, then brushing your teeth afterwards before replacing the aligner. If you choose braces, you will need to avoid staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, and clean your teeth and braces thoroughly after eating. Your dentist will take you through this in more detail.

In order to maintain your dream smile after treatment, you will need to continue to wear a retainer at night. Your teeth will naturally begin to shift back to their original pattern and the retainer just holds them in the new position whilst your mouth adapts.

The most noticeable difference between the two is the material of the retainers. Clear Correct offer a much thinner and lighter material which is therefore less visible than an Invisalign aligner. However, Invisalign is much more durable and stronger, so you are less likely to have any breakages in your aligners. It will be ultimately your decision which option you feel is more suited to you.

Both adults and teenagers can have our orthodontic treatment. They will correct most cosmetic straightening or bite issues. If you require a treatment for a medical reason, the dentist will be able to advise you on what options are available to you.
