And when you come to see our experienced team at Clear Braces Direct London, we can offer you just that with the world-famous Invisalign aligner.

Here, our team at Clear Braces Direct London breaks down some of the top reasons to undertake treatment with Invisalign.

Effective

When used correctly, our team at Clear Braces Direct London can straighten your smile using Invisalign with minimal to no long-term issues with reversion.

Studies have found that clear aligners are just as effective at correcting dental misalignments as braces and can now be used to correct a wider range of problems, such as overbites, underbites and even spacing in the right clinical situations. Perfect!

Self-confidence

Being an adult is challenging at the best of times, let alone when you have a metal brace attached to the front of your teeth.

And while many people have no issue with such a scenario, if you work in a job where you need to give talks etc, it can be trickier to manage. By wearing Invisalign, you can give your talks, go on dates and even play sports without anyone knowing that you are undertaking orthodontic treatment. Great!

Time saving

Invisalign is renowned (and popular) for being able to deliver fast results concerning orthodontic realignment.

When wearing this aligner, the average time of use ranges from 3-6 months, maybe extending to 18 months for severe cases. But when compared to other orthodontic tools, this is extremely quick!

But, you will have to ensure that you keep the aligners in for the time required each day (usually 22+ hours) or else, your progress with realignment may slow down.

Hygiene

There are many ways in which using a clear aligner can improve your oral hygiene, especially when compared to a brace.

For one thing, whenever you remove Invisalign to eat, our team will advise that you give your teeth a quick scrub with a toothbrush, to remove any potentially harmful plaque and food debris. This will reduce the incidence of tooth decay forming due to these being pressed against the teeth by the aligner and, of course, it will also improve your oral hygiene.

When compared to a fitted brace, there is also less required to ensure that your teeth receive the correct level of cleaning; you simply remove the aligners, brush, floss and rinse, and then return them to your mouth.

Cost-effective

Suppose you have a minor misalignment or a gap in your smile, you may be wondering how this could cause issues with your finances long term.

Over time, your teeth will move and without treatment, that minor misalignment may move and can lead to issues with plaque accumulation and even decay. And of course, along with those issues come the costs of restorative procedures such as fillings or, in extreme cases, extractions. This may then lead to costly restoratives, such as dentures or even oral implants. So, by using Invisalign to correct that mild misalignment or gap, you may be saving yourself a lot of money in the long term.
