👄 with her insights! 👄⁣
⁣
Providing a broader perspective on the options for aligning teeth, Sali Hughes shares what path suited her best when seeing us 🥰⁣
⁣
Clear aligners are a great system in many instances, but many patients are not given the range of options including clear fixed braces with its inherent efficiency and absence of lifestyle changes (removing something before meals and drinks)⁣
⁣
As the article and her posts professionally clarify, Sali paid full fees and treatments were not exchanged in collaboration⁣
⁣
Thank you for the kind inclusion in articles such as these ❤️⁣

🫧 Staying Fresh 🫧⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣We will always nag you about your retainers 🤓 it’s our job!⁣
⁣
Whether you are now beaming with your ABC smile or if you have had specialist orthodontic treatment with our great colleagues, no doubt you will have a set of retainers to maintain the results you have achieved.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣Use an ultrasonic pod to clean your retainers daily will keep them crystal clear and hygienic⁣ 💎
⁣
💛 Remove the risk of cracking them in your hands when brushing⁣
💛 Reaches all the tight corners that a brush can’t reach⁣
💛 Use in conjunction with our recommended RetainerBrite⁣ sterilising tablets
⁣
The pod ultrasonically pulses the water to break up any build-up on the surfaces of the retainers. After being recommended these types of cleaners from our astute patients, we tried a good number of them as some are too strong and damages your retainers/aligners, some are too mild and don’t effectively clean the surface. have got it right 👌🏻.⁣
