Are clear aligners painful to wear?
While clear aligners are generally less painful than traditional braces, you may experience some mild discomfort each time you switch to a new set. This sensation is typically short-lived, and indicates that your treatment is working!
Can I eat and drink while wearing aligners?
We recommended removing your clear aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining of the aligners and ensures that food particles don't get trapped, which could lead to cavities.

After you finish wearing your aligners, we'll make any necessary refinements to ensure your smile is perfect. You'll also be given a retainer to wear to maintain the new position of your teeth.
