Discreet treatment if you're on camera or meeting people
Lots of people in Salford work in media, broadcasting, hospitality and other customer-facing jobs. If you'd rather not have fixed braces on show, clear aligners are worth asking about. They're made from thin, clear plastic and fit closely over your teeth, so most people won't notice them in everyday conversation.
Small tooth-coloured bumps called attachments are sometimes bonded to teeth to help the aligners grip, and your dentist will tell you if you need them. Some people notice a slight lisp for the first few days with a new set, which usually settles as your tongue gets used to it. If you present, record or speak for a living, it can help to start each new set at the weekend.
A day wearing aligners
Here's what a typical day can look like:
- Morning: take your aligners out, have breakfast, brush and floss, then put them back in
- During the day: keep them in and sip plain water. Take them out for meals and for drinks other than water
- After lunch: brush, or at least rinse, before they go back in, so food isn't trapped against your teeth
- Evening and night: wear them while you sleep, which adds a big chunk of your daily hours
Most providers ask for around 20 to 22 hours of wear a day, and your dentist will set the routine that's right for your plan. Wearing aligners as directed is the single biggest thing you can do to help treatment stay on track.
