Main Information

There are few risks associated with invisible braces, but it’s important to be informed prior to electing this (or any) dental procedure. Results and Outcome – Though orthodontic treatment usually proceeds as planned, it’s possible that you will be dissatisfied with the final results. The success of treatment largely depends on your level of commitment and cooperation. Keeping appointments, maintaining excellent oral hygiene and following your orthodontist’s instructions very carefully is the best way to ensure satisfying results. Discomfort – As you can imagine, the mouth is an incredibly sensitive area of the body. It is possible that you will experience some discomfort over the course of treatment, especially during the initial adjustment period. Over-the-counter pain medications may be recommended to alleviate this discomfort.  Future Relapse – A completed orthodontic program does not guarantee permanent results. Retainers are often necessary to keep teeth aligned following orthodontic treatment. If you do not wear your retainer as instructed, your teeth could gradually shift back. Natural ageing or habits such as tongue thrusting or mouth breathing may also impact your results long-term.   Decalcification and Cavities – Oral hygiene can be more challenging with braces, which may put you at a higher risk of decalcification (white marks) or cavities. Regular brushing and flossing combined with a low-sugar diet is the best form of prevention. Periodontal (Gum) Disease – In addition to an increased risk of cavities, the tissue and bone surrounding your teeth are also more vulnerable to improper care during orthodontic treatment. Your orthodontist will provide you with specific instructions on how to minimise your risk of periodontal disease.
