FAQs

You’ll be pleased to know that with clear braces, you can eat and drink normally without having to worry about bits and pieces getting stuck in your braces. Just make sure that you take aligners out whilst eating your main meals and then pop them back in once you’re finished. Whilst you are wearing aligners, we also recommend sticking to drinking cool water as hot water can warp and damage aligners, making them much less effective.

We will provide an accurate estimate of the cost of your treatment during your consultation, but as treatment times are shorter, Six Month Smiles® typically costs less than traditional brace treatments.

Six Month Smiles® braces are more discreet that traditional braces. The braces and wires are tooth-coloured, to ensure they blend in, and are barely visible. If you book a free consultation at Ollie & Darsh, one of the team will show you exactly what they look like.

As with any teeth-straightening treatment, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain the straighter position of your teeth. If you don’t want a removable retainer, you can have a bonded retainer placed instead. You can discuss your options with one of our team members at Ollie & Darsh and decide which suits your personal preference and lifestyle.

Again, the cost of your treatment will depend on the severity of your case, and how long you will be wearing the aligners for. This is something we can discuss in detail during your consultation.

If sensitivity from tooth whitening is to occur, it will only be temporary and will go away within the following 48 hours. There will be no long lasting effects on tooth sensitivity post whitening treatment.

Gum disease is a condition which affects the supporting structures around your teeth. It causes swelling of your gums. If left untreated, it can damage the bone and ligaments that hold your teeth in place.

Typically you can expect whitening to last up to two years, however, it will depend on the individual. For the best results, it is advised to avoid coffee, red wine and smoking as these all cause staining of the teeth.

Comprehensive oral rehabilitation is the elimination of dental disease and the reconstruction of damaged teeth. Treatments can include a complete examination, cleaning, fluoride application, full mouth x-rays, amalgam and composite restorations (fillings), endodontics, minor periodontal surgery, and extractions.

Generally, toothpaste whiteners only clean the stains on the surface and don’t actually change the colour of the teeth. Toothpastes might have some visible results but for effective results, we highly recommend a teeth whitening treatment.

If you’ve had oral rehabilitation supported by implants, the interval between appointments will vary according to the scale of the rehabilitation. It will also depend on the level of oral hygiene that you have achieved at home.
