We will ask you to avoid chewing hard food on that tooth until the crown is fitted.'], ['Why save the tooth instead of removing it?','Your own tooth keeps the bite, the bone and the neighbouring teeth in their natural position.

Our patients describe them as almost invisible — which is the point: you improve your smile without the treatment showing while you do it.'], ['How many hours a day do I have to wear them?','Aligners only work while they are in your mouth, so they are worn all day and overnight, and taken out to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush.'], ['Are aligners as effective as braces?','For many cases, yes — including crowding and closing gaps between the front teeth.
