Can you wear Invisalign just while you sleep?

Short answer... no.

For the best results, your aligners should be in for around 22 hours a day. The more consistent you are, the smoother your treatment will be.

Consistency wins.

Why can’t we just put veneers straight onto crooked teeth?

Sometimes we can. But often, doing so means making the veneers too bulky simply to disguise the position of the teeth underneath.

That’s why I’ll often recommend clear aligners first.

By carefully straightening the teeth before placing porcelain veneers, we can be far more conservative and create a result that looks balanced, natural and belongs in the smile.

Sometimes the best veneer treatment starts long before the veneers.

Building smiles. Making memories.

July was a little bit of everything.

Busy days in the clinic, family time, beach days, Deer Park, live music and plenty of moments in between.

The dentistry continues to grow, but so does my appreciation for the time away from it.

Work hard. Switch off. Make memories.

Not forgetting the unbelievable Supper Club experience with .privatedining at .pie Tenby

A pretty good July.

Composite bonding doesn’t straighten teeth.

It changes the shape of teeth, not their position.

Sometimes straightening first gives a far more natural result and means less treatment overall.

Every smile is different.

Your aligners feel loose? That’s actually good news.

A lot of people think loose trays mean they’re not working.

Usually it’s the opposite. It means your teeth have moved and you’re ready for the next stage.

Trust the process.

Building smiles. Building memories.

Helping patients smile with more confidence, continuing to learn, spending time with family and making memories outside the clinic.

It’s easy to focus on the destination, but I’m learning to appreciate the journey just as much.

Here’s a little snapshot of life, both in and out of clinic.

Looking forward to seeing what July brings.

Most people are surprised when I tell them they don’t need veneers.

As a cosmetic dentist, I could probably say yes far more often than I do.

But my job isn’t to sell veneers.

My job is to help patients make the right decision for their smile.

In many cases, Invisalign, teeth whitening or composite bonding can achieve a beautiful natural result whilst preserving healthy tooth structure.

Veneers can be a fantastic treatment when they’re the right option.

The key words are: the right option.

Every smile is different, which is why every treatment plan should be too.

That’s why sometimes the best thing I can do is say no.
