Can adults get Smilelign treatment?
Yes! Smilelign is suitable for adults. As it is virtually invisible, it can be extremely beneficial for those meeting clients at work, without affecting your confidence as metal braces can.
How often do I change my aligners?
Typically, most aligners have achieved their movements within a 2 week period. However, you should only move onto your next aligner when the aligner can be removed and fitted in easily, and there is no pressure felt on any of your teeth. If you move on too quickly this could result in treatment taking longer.
How quickly does the Smilelign system take to work?
The Smilelign system can straighten teeth in as little as 12 weeks if it is a mild case. However, most cases typically take between 6 months and 1 year.
How long do I need to wear the Smilelign braces for?
The longer you wear your aligners each day, the more effective and quicker your treatment will be. We suggest you aim to wear them for 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat and clean them.
How does the Smilelign system work?
Smilelign works by slowly moving your teeth using custom made plastic trays worn in the mouth. Each brace is designed to move your teeth 0.3mm. Every couple of weeks these trays are changed to a different size as the teeth straighten.
