Although it initially feels strange, the PerfectSmileAligner is one of the most comfortable ways of straightening your teeth. Do I have to wear it all the time? The great thing about the PerfectSmileAligner is that it is removable. This means that you can take it out for cleaning, contact sports, eating and drinking; reducing the risk of any damage occurring to your natural teeth during treatment. Although the PerfectSmileAligner brace is removable, we do recommend wearing the brace for the time agreed in your treatment plan. Not doing so could affect the end result of your treatment and the time taken to achieve it.
