Thanks for the reply...even my reply back to you is a little belated! I also thought that I should leave it in for longer - it's not been bother considering I had these for a whole year. It's now the start of June and I am much more confortable having the retainer out for a longer amount of time. Fe...

I'm due to be debraced. I wore the clearstep system (like Invisalign) for 1 year, then retained my teeth using the last tray (like an Essix) for 3 months 24/7 as instructed. The instructions now say that that i need only wear it at nights. Now my question is I am a bit loathe to debrace during the d...

I do have risers put into my back molars because my bite is too close in order to give space to pull back my front teeth - but there are no attachments and no wires. I also do have to w...

I seem to be the only one using a different type of clear aligner called Clearstep. I've been quoted between £1000-£2500 for one arch depending on the severity of the problem. I've been classified as 'moderate' on my top arch which should csot about £1800 + dental practice costs for moulds, filli...

Hi, great to hear from another Clearstep user. What I really like about this system is that you see step by step how your teeth are going to improve because of the molds. I've got a box of 8 and from the first to last one they almost look perfect which would be only 4 months. As you say they need to...

Hi, I'm new to this board and would just like to introduce myself. I'm a 39 year old woman in the UK who after much thought decided to have braces . I have an overjet with spaces between some teeth and my dentist thought i would be the perfect candidate for the Clearstep system. I'm now on my 3rd we...
