What options are there available?
Generally, there are two forms of aligners that are available that you can choose from, depending on the severity of your case; fixed or removable. A fixed aligner consists of brackets that are glued to the teeth with wires that connect each bracket. The wires are then controlled by your dentist to pull the teeth into the right position.
These are great for complex cases and are thought of as the more traditional model available. You can however, discuss with us whether you are eligible to wear a lingual model, that is attached to the back of your teeth instead of the front.
Removable models are either clear plastic trays or a plate that is worn by you for a minimum of 20 hours each day. You are permitted to remove it to eat and to brush your teeth but it should be worn at night. They gently pull teeth into the right position either by you wearing a new tray every week or by your dentist gently manipulating parts of the plate.
Does it hurt?
We cannot say that the treatment will be completely pain free for the first few days after your next stage in the treatment process, you may feel some aching or sensitivity in your teeth and gums as they adjust to the new position that they are being forced into.
It does calm down after a while and we can prescribe you with pain relief during this time. You may also find that by eating soft foods you will be more comfortable. After several months, you can begin to notice the dramatic change in your smile, the journey is never in vain when wearing braces in Windsor.
