Are you thrilled about jumping into the dating scene to meet someone special? While this can be incredibly exciting, you might have some concerns about how your orthodontic treatment could affect your love life. Keep reading to learn several tips to keep in mind while dating with SureSmile clear aligners.
Pay Attention to Your Food & Drinks
If you’re planning on going to dinner with a special someone or your significant other, you’ll need to remember to take out your SureSmile trays right before eating. Whether you’re enjoying a meal or drinking your favorite beverage, leaving your aligners on can potentially damage them and delay your progress. For anything other than pure water, be sure to remove your trays prior to enjoying your meal. Remember to also clean your teeth and rinse off your aligners before wearing them again.
Be at Ease with Unproblematic Smooches
Unlike traditional braces, you won’t have to worry about your SureSmile aligners getting “stuck” when kissing your partner. Due to their smooth material, clear aligners should feel incredibly comfortable in your mouth, and your date may not even notice a huge difference. When you’re out with your significant other, don’t be afraid to share a kiss when the time is right!
Show Off Your Grin with Virtually Invisible Aligners
One of the best parts of SureSmile aligners is that they’re extremely discreet. In many cases, people in passing won’t even notice that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. So, if you’re planning on taking photos and cute videos with your date, you shouldn’t shy away from showing off your pearly whites.
Have the Adjustment Period in Mind
When first beginning your SureSmile treatment, it’s normal to experience a mild lisp. This is because your tongue needs to get used to having your clear aligners in your mouth. To avoid any awkwardness on your date, don’t hesitate to inform your partner about your treatment. This way they’ll understand any changes in your speech. You may even consider scheduling your date until after your lisp has vanished, that way you won’t have to worry about it at all.
Even if you’re undergoing SureSmile treatment, this shouldn’t keep you from enjoying going out on dates. Keep these few tips in mind and embrace the journey toward a straighter smile and a promising love life!
