For the best results, your clear aligners need to be worn for 20-22 hours every day. Ideally, you should only remove them to eat, drink and brush your teeth.

Always remove your clear aligners before eating and drinking, as they can be easily damaged or stained (even by soft drinks). You can only drink water with your clear aligners in.

It’s a good idea to brush your teeth before replacing your aligners, as food particles may make the inside of your aligners dirty, leading to bad odours.

If you only wear aligners at night, you won’t achieve the tooth movement necessary for a straighter smile. For the best results, your aligner should be worn for 20-22 hours per day.

After you finish your aligner treatment, the bones under your teeth will still be regrowing. Without retainers, they may go back to their original position. We recommend wearing your retainers for at least six months.

You’ll need three visits in total. Your dentist will ensure your comfort and oversee the creation of custom clear aligners designed to achieve your ideal smile.

Although not completely invisible, Smile White's clear aligners are very discreet and hard-to-detect.

You may experience some mild discomfort as your teeth move, but this is a good sign! It shows that your aligner treatment is working correctly.

Clear aligners are significantly more discreet compared to traditional metal braces, which can appear unsightly. They are also known for their enhanced comfort, as they do not involve the wires and brackets that often cause discomfort associated with traditional braces.

Yes! In fact, clear aligners are ideal for the treatment of crowded teeth. By slowly moving the teeth, they create the normal amount of space between them.

Teeth whitening is always included with our clear aligner treatment (unlike our rivals!), so that your smile really is the best it can be.

If you’ve been wearing your aligners correctly, but your teeth aren’t straight at the end of your treatment, you may need some additional aligners. We’ll always ensure that you won’t pay extra for this. At Smile White, you pay for a straight smile - and that’s exactly what you’ll get!

Braces in the UK can cost anywhere between £1,500 to over £7,000 depending on the type of braces used, complexity and age range. NHS braces are free for under 18s with an explicit health need, but the waiting lists can be long – making private treatments a common solution.

Fixed braces can cost anywhere between £1,800 to £7,000 in the UK, factoring in whether they’re metal, ceramic or lingual. While traditional metal braces are often slightly more affordable, ceramic options are often more discreet. Of course, clear aligners are the most comfortable, undetectable option for teeth straightening.

Yes! You can get braces only on the bottom teeth, this is called a single-arch treatment. It’s suitable for people who already have straight top teeth and don’t require bite correction.

While you can’t get clear traditional metal braces, you can get removable clear aligners! Almost invisible and comfortable to wear, clear aligners are a great substitute for adults looking to straighten their teeth, without drawing attention.

Braces and clear aligners are often equally effective when it comes to straightening teeth. It all depends on your lifestyle. If you’d prefer a more undetectable, removable and comfortable smile journey: aligners are preferable.
