Not at all, and there are no wires either! SureSmile® in Rochester Hills, MI, corrects bite issues with a series of custom-molded, clear, plastic aligners. Dr. McClelland will plan out your tooth movements so each set of aligners can be properly prepared.
Our dentist in Rochester Hills, MI will recommend a wearing schedule based on your individual needs and alignment goals. Aligners typically need to be worn for most of your day. They can be taken out to eat and when brushing and flossing, or playing sports that could result in facial contact.
There are no food restrictions at all, as per the advice of your trusted team for dentistry in Rochester Hills, MI. This is because the aligners are completely removable. However, we recommend brushing or rinsing after you eat and before you put your aligner back in.
You may feel some sensitivity for a day or two after you start wearing each set of aligners. This just means the aligners are working and helping to shift your teeth in the right direction.
All you’ll have to do is remove your aligners and brush them with a toothbrush and toothpaste. They can also be rinsed with warm water.
