Clarity Clear FAQ
We want everyone under our care to understand the process. Most points below are useful for any braces and our staff will happily add to them:
- How long will I wear braces? — Modern, high quality braces such as Clarity may reduce treatment time a little. You should still expect to wear them for a year, up to 2 years for complex cases.
- Should I be referred to you? — Dentists throughout the UK do send patients to us but this is not required. All you need to do is get in touch with our London clinic and arrange a consultation.
- Are a range of needs covered? — Treatment with Clarity Ceramic is comprehensive, from a few front teeth, to multiple issues. Despite the advantages, they are as capable as any other fixed brace.
- Is having braces painful? — Fitting is carried out with care and brings little discomfort. Your teeth may still be tender for a day or two afterwards, although this will wear off naturally.
- Can I still talk normally? — Any brace can cause temporary speech changes. The small profile of Clarity helps, although you should expect to take a few days before regaining quite normal speech.
- What will I be able to eat? — You may choose softer foods for a couple of days; beyond this, a healthy diet is fine. Just avoid chewing gum, hard sweets, or large chunks of harder or crusty food.
- Can I still play sports? — No problem at all, although for contact sports, wearing a mouthguard is important. Your orthodontist can arrange supply, or if required, have mouthguards made for you.
- Are Clarity Ceramic expensive? — The price is above average, due mainly to the advanced material and design. The difference is not so much when weighed against additional benefits they provide.
- Is ongoing support included? — In every sense. Your regular appointments are included within treatment, as is personal support at any time. Our orthodontists consider your journey one they share.
