✨ Tooth Whitening After Invisalign

Want to brighten your smile after completing Invisalign? Tooth whitening can easily be carried out using your Invisalign trays or retainers.

🦷 How much whitening gel do you need?
Only a very small amount — approximately half a grain of rice per tooth is enough.

At The Fold Dentistry, tooth whitening is included as part of your Invisalign package. We provide enough whitening gel for two weeks of treatment, so you can achieve a brighter, refreshed smile from the comfort of your own home.

Because your new smile deserves to shine. ✨

So we have come to the end of my Invisalign.
I've had my attachments removed and it feels very odd not wearing them currently but for the first few weeks it's always recommended to wear them for 22hrs a day still to stop any movement occurring. You can feel the shift throughout the day if you don't and you end up with that tight feeling again when trying to put your retainers in.

Week 12:
Still wearing my Invisalign even on holiday.
Why wait until the holiday is over for straight teeth? 😁
Just remember to take them out when eating and drinking (yes even the ice cream)

Week 11:
Did you know? Taking them out too often can slow your progress.
Wearing Invisalign aligners for around 22 hours a day gives them enough time to apply the consistent pressure needed to move your teeth.

Our teeth aren't the only thing changing though while wearing Invisalign. As your teeth move, the surrounding bone and ligaments adapt too. That's one reason orthodontic treatment takes months—your body needs time to safely remodel around each new tooth position

Consistency beats perfection! 😁

Week 10:
It's been a weird week this week.

After last week's IPR my front teeth have felt very gappy (I know they're not as it was only 0.5mm but to your tongue everything feels massive) but by the end of the week everything had started to shift again to close the gaps.

Let's talk about IPR (Interproximal Reduction)

If you're starting your clear aligner journey, you might see this step in your plan.
Here is the lowdown on "tooth slimming":

❌ No, it doesn't hurt: Your enamel has no nerves. It just feels like a file smoothing a fingernail.
✅ Why we do it: It creates tiny, precise gaps to give crowded teeth room to flatten out and straighten.
🙌 The big bonus: It allows us to give you a perfectly straight smile without having to pull any teeth out!

We map out every fraction of a millimetre using Invisalign 3D smile software to ensure your teeth stay completely safe and healthy.

Changing from week 4 to 5.

I feel like I'm getting quicker changing my braces.
Some days they come out so easily, Others are a little tricky and I need my hook.
Do we all want a midway through before and after shot when I get to week 7?

Or if you'd like more info on Invisalign then send us a DM or give us a call on 01618325169

Week 6:
This week I invested in an Ultrasonic Cleaner.

Ultrasonic Cleaners use sound waves to create tiny bubbles that blast dirt off your Invisalign.

Pros
•Cleans deep: Reaches tiny spots brushes miss.
•Very fast: Takes only 3 to 10 minutes.
•Protects plastic: Does not scratch your aligners like brushing can.
•Multi-use: Cleans jewelry and glasses too.

Cons
•Costs money: It is more expensive than a toothbrush.
•Not perfect: May not remove large levels of plaque build up or dark food stains completely so additional brushing may be needed.
•Needs care: Hot water inside can melt or warp plastic.

You should only use cold or room temperature water so you don't melt the invisalign.

Week 4:
Well this week has been an interesting one.
It now feels odd to not be wearing my braces (which helps me remember to put them back in after eating)

I'm slowly starting to see some changes in my teeth which is getting me excited for the end.

And I've also had to Google some random questions like "Why do my teeth feel warm?" And "can you wear your Invisalign in the sauna?"

It's definitely had me thinking, what's some of the weirdest questions you've had to Google while wearing your Invisalign?
