We can offer you different Invisalign treatment plans depending on your individual dental needs. With Invisalign we can straighten your teeth in as little as 3 to 6 months. This is with the Invisalign Express and Invisalign Lite treatment plans. These are suitable for our patients who have minor misalignment issues of the teeth.

These deal with a wide range of orthodontic issues including bite disorders and can take between 12 to 24 months to straighten your teeth.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are pleased to be able to offer you a free consultation. If you visit our website then you can select the location of your choice or choose a virtual consultation. You will undergo a free intraoral scan of your mouth which will create a digital image and show you how we can improve the appearance of your smile using Invisalign. This will be provided to you in the form of a personal video treatment plan which you can take away and either discuss with your friends and family or carefully consider by yourself before committing to the treatment.

Invisalign aligners

If you are happy with the predicted results then you can order your  aligners. You should receive the aligners within a few weeks and you can begin the treatment in the comfort of your own home. The number of aligners that you receive will depend on which treatment plan you are following, determined by your individual dental requirements. Each aligner needs to be worn for 2 weeks and kept in the mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day. To make sure that you achieve optimal results and that you complete the treatment within the predicted time frame it is very important that you adhere to these instructions. The aligners only work when you are wearing them, therefore the longer you keep them in your mouth the more your teeth will move and when you take them out they will stop moving. You should only remove the aligners at meal times and when brushing your teeth. When they are in your mouth they are almost invisible, therefore Invisalign is an excellent choice of treatment for those who do not want to draw further attention to their mouth. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and find out more about teeth straightening with Invisalign and how we can make it easy and convenient for you.

If you have crooked or wonky teeth then this can affect your daily life. Every time you speak to someone you may be aware that they are looking at your teeth, you may be inclined to cover your mouth with your hands and sometimes you may avoid smiling all together. This can have a negative impact and even cause mental health issues. Thanks to significant advances in dental technology there is much that can be done to correct crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment has changed significantly and there are different types of braces to suit your unique dental requirements and your individual preferences.

In this modern era, one of the most popular types of orthodontic treatment is Invisalign London. Serving the world for just over 20 years, Invisalign London has been used by more than 14 million patients already. It has been used by celebrities, the public, and even dentists have used Invisalign London to improve the appearance of their teeth. It can be used by patients of all ages and different orthodontic needs.

To find out if Invisalign is suitable for you, you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. We are a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign. We have dealt with over 6000 cases and, therefore, we have extensive experience in teeth straightening with Invisalign.

We will be able to put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you, because we know very well that all smiles are special and unique. We will help you improve your smile, boost your self-confidence and bring positivity into your life.

Here at the practice we have tried to make the process as simple as possible and we even offer a free consultation, which includes an intraoral scan of your mouth and a personal video showing you how your teeth can be transformed with this invisible aligner.

Digital scanning

The iTero intraoral scan is an important tool in digital dental technology. The scan itself takes less than 60 seconds and in this time the scanning wand is inserted into your mouth and gently moved over the surface of your teeth so that it can capture images of the size and shape of each tooth. These images are then put together to create a 3-D model of your teeth and mouth. Our specialist software is then used to change the position of your teeth to create a neatly aligned smile. You will be shown this image and if this is what you are looking for then we can have a series of aligners designed for you that fit in your mouth tightly and securely, so that they apply enough pressure to push your teeth into the new formation. This is a gradual process and each aligner moves your teeth by approximately 0.2 to 0.25 mm over the space of two weeks. You may require 10 aligners or you may require 50 aligners depending on your individual dental needs. Once completed you will have a beautiful, straight smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today. Take a look at what Invisalign can do for you and let us help you make an informed decision.

More than 14 million patients around the world have undergone teeth straightening with Invisalign London. This means that there are millions of patient reviews and anecdotes that may cause some confusion about how Invisalign London really works and what it can do for you. To find out the truth about Invisalign London you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. Nearly all dental practices offer Invisalign for teeth straightening so what makes us so special? At Clear Braces Direct we are proud to be a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign because we have successfully straightened almost 7,000 smiles in less than 20 years using these aligners and continue to help patients across the country address their unique orthodontic needs. We will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you, but before we do so let’s look at some common myths about Invisalign which may be confusing you.

Common myths about Invisalign

One of the most common myths about Invisalign is that it can only be used for mild or moderate orthodontic issues. This is not true. Invisalign can be used to treat complex orthodontic cases. The difference is that if you have mild or moderate issues then you may straighten your teeth with Invisalign aligners alone, whereas if you are a complex orthodontic case then you may require a combined treatment plan to straighten your teeth. This could include having to undergo a tooth extraction to make space in your mouth for the teeth to be aligned into a neater formation. It could include undergoing a bone graft or a gum graft to improve your dental health following gum disease or periodontal disease. It could also include replacing missing teeth with dental implants, or cosmetic treatment such as teeth whitening, composite bonding or even veneers for a complete smile transformation. Bite disorders can also be treated using Invisalign under the supervision of our specialist team. We will assess your individual orthodontic issues and put together a special treatment plan for you.

Another common myth is that because Invisalign uses removable aligners to straighten your teeth, patients assume that the treatment will take longer than traditional braces. Again this is incorrect. The length of the treatment depends on how crooked or wonky your teeth are to begin with. Most studies show that for similar orthodontic issues Invisalign and fixed braces work at a similar rate. As the aligners are removable it is very important that you adhere to the treatment plan and wear the aligners correctly for 22 hours a day for 2 weeks per aligner, so that the treatment does not take longer than necessary.

Some people believe that Invisalign is only for adults. This is wrong. Invisalign can be used by teenagers as well who are looking to improve the appearance of their teeth, but want a discreet treatment option as an alternative to traditional fixed braces that often attract unwanted attention to the mouth.

Visit us at Clear Braces Direct today, learn more about Invisalign and find out if it is a suitable choice of orthodontic treatment for your unique dental needs.

The field of orthodontics has progressed significantly over the last few decades. Many different types of braces and orthodontic appliances have been introduced to meet individual dental requirements. All types of misalignment issues can now be addressed and you can even choose which type of brace you would prefer to straighten your teeth. Clear aligners have become a popular choice amongst young people and adults. Clear aligners are highly effective at straightening your teeth, without the need for metal wires and brackets. This means that they are very discreet and they are also comfortable to wear. Another added advantage is that clear aligners are removable in comparison to fixed traditional braces. Due to their growing popularity, over the years many companies have produced clear aligners for teeth straightening. With so many clear aligners now available on the market it may be confusing as to which is the best for you.

Invisalign clear aligners

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are proud to present Invisalign London. Invisalign London has pioneered clear aligner systems and currently provides the most popular type of clear aligners on the market. Over 14 million people, including more than 4 million teenagers have already used Invisalign London to straighten their teeth. This means that there is a lot of data and artificial intelligence that has been used to continuously improve the aligners, making sure that they meet patient needs. Invisalign is the most widely known provider of aligners and over the years it has become the gold standard of clear aligner systems. With an excellent track record they are the favourite clear aligners amongst dentists across the world.

Invisalign aligners are made of medical-grade polyurethane resins, which are a blend of thermoplastic polymers that are safe to use inside the human body. Polyurethane is regarded as the best material for clear aligners. They are BPA free and one of the biggest advantages is that they are almost invisible when worn in the mouth. If you want to correct the misalignment issues of your teeth comfortably and at your discretion then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about Invisalign. We will put together an individually tailored treatment plan to meet your dental requirements. Each treatment plan is different according to the severity of your orthodontic issues. You can straighten your teeth in as little as 3 to 6 months with this invisible brace, if you suffer from mild or moderate orthodontic issues. If you have complex dental needs then it can take between 12 to 24 months to straighten your smile and sometimes you may require a combination of other treatments for optimal results.

If you have been thinking about undergoing teeth straightening then you must have many questions running through your head. One of the most common questions that patients ask is whether they should straighten their teeth with braces or if Invisalign London would be more suitable for them. The answer is that both braces and Invisalign London are suitable for most orthodontic issues. The bigger question is what would you prefer? Invisalign London works very differently to traditional braces, but as mentioned they are both suitable for addressing mild, moderate or complex orthodontic needs. Here at Clear Braces Direct we can help you make an informed decision and choose the best option for you and your teeth.

How do braces and aligners work?

Most people are aware that traditional orthodontic braces consist of metal brackets that are fixed to the surface of the teeth. These are then connected by a metal arch wire and small elastic bands are used to apply more pressure and together the components work constantly to create a neatly aligned smile. Invisalign works using small invisible attachments that are glued to the surface of your teeth and clear thermoplastic aligners that are worn over your teeth to apply pressure and create a neatly aligned smile. They can then be taken out as necessary.

Visible or discreet?

This tells us that there are two main differences between traditional braces and Invisalign. Firstly traditional braces use metal components which are visible on the surface of your teeth whilst Invisalign uses plastic aligners that are almost invisible when they are worn in the mouth. This can be very important for patients who want to undergo orthodontic treatment but do not want to draw unwanted attention to their mouth. If you are embarrassed by your teeth and are looking for discreet orthodontic treatment then these invisible aligners are the ideal solution for you.

Fixed or removable?

The other key difference is that traditional braces are fixed to your teeth throughout the treatment period, whereas Invisalign aligners can be taken out of your mouth and put back in as necessary which means they provide more flexibility and convenience. With Invisalign you are able to eat all your favourite food and drink. There are no dietary restrictions as there are with traditional braces. With traditional braces if you bite into something hard or you start eating something that is very chewy, then this can damage the components of your braces. With Invisalign the aligners have to be taken out at meal times and this allows you to eat and drink as you wish. Traditional braces also make it harder for you to clean your teeth. This is because the brackets and the wires can get in the way and create hard-to-reach areas allowing bacteria, food particles and plaque to build up in your mouth. With Invisalign you are able to brush your teeth as you would normally, preventing any signs of tooth decay or gum disease from developing whilst you are undergoing treatment. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today. We are specialists of Invisalign and we will help you decide whether it is most suitable for you or whether braces will be a better option.

Invisalign London is a modern method of teeth straightening, popular amongst patients of all ages and popular amongst dentists too. It is different from traditional orthodontic treatment. It is ideal for those who avoided traditional orthodontic treatment when they were younger, but thanks to the availability of different types of braces, are now considering straightening their teeth. More adults than ever before have straightened their teeth thanks to the introduction and establishment of Invisalign London. This is because Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth at your discretion. In complete contrast to traditional orthodontic braces, Invisalign London is almost invisible when in your mouth. you can straighten your teeth and no one will even notice that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you wish to tell them. It is highly convenient and it fits in with the modern lifestyle.

Removable aligners

In comparison to traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be taken out of your mouth and put back in when you have finished what you are doing.  The aligners need to be removed at mealtimes and if you are drinking anything other than clear liquids such as water. This stops the aligners from becoming damaged or stained. It means that you can enjoy all of your favourite food and drink without having to worry about the aligners being affected. With traditional braces you are not allowed to eat hard, chewy or sticky foods, but with Invisalign there are no dietary restrictions. After enjoying your food you can clean your teeth thoroughly, brushing, flossing and using a good mouthwash, after which you can put the aligners back into your mouth. The aligners themselves are also very easy to clean. You can brush them with your ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste, rinse them with water and put them back in your mouth.

Comfortable aligners

Invisalign aligners are also comfortable to wear in comparison to traditional braces. This is because traditional braces are made of metal components, whereas Invisalign aligners are made of medical grade thermoplastic which is digitally printed, making sure there are no sharp edges that could cause cuts or irritation in your mouth. They fit tightly and securely so that although they are removable you can wear them confidently and they will not move.

If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and learn more about Invisalign London. Invisalign London helps you straighten your teeth at your convenience and at your discretion. It is ideal for patients who avoided orthodontic treatment earlier in their life, because they were not too keen on having traditional braces. Invisalign London is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and can achieve similar results without brackets and wires.

Invisalign aligners

Invisalign uses clear, removable thermoplastic aligners which are designed to fit snugly onto your teeth and move them into a neater formation. Each of these aligners is worn for about 22 hours of the day and changed every two to three weeks depending on your prescription. There is minimal discomfort with Invisalign aligners in comparison to traditional orthodontic braces. You may feel tightness when you first wear a new set of aligners, but within approximately 12 hours you should become accustomed to the feeling. If you are in any pain or discomfort then you can always take paracetamol and another great tip is to change your aligner before you go to sleep at night, so that by the time you wake up in the morning they fit more comfortably.

Removable aligners

As the aligners are removable, Invisalign gives you the option to eat and drink all your favourite foods unlike traditional braces. You are also able to maintain excellent dental hygiene practices as you would have done before beginning orthodontic treatment. The aligners are also very convenient in that they can be cleaned easily using an ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste before placing them back in your mouth. It is important that you wear the aligners for as long as possible to achieve the full benefits.

Discreet aligners

Another great advantage of Invisalign and perhaps the main reason why it is so popular amongst patients across the world, is that the aligners are highly discreet in contrast to traditional braces and you can smile confidently without having to worry about how your teeth look.

Invisalign London is a modern method of teeth straightening suitable for patients of all ages with different types of orthodontic needs. Invisalign London works using a series of clear plastic aligners that are designed to straighten your teeth without metal brackets and wires. The aligners need to be worn in your mouth for approximately 22 hours a day for two weeks at a time and then they are replaced with the next aligner in the series. During this time the aligner should move your teeth by approximately 0.2 to 0.25 millimetres. As you work your way through the series the aligners will gradually straighten your teeth and help you achieve a neatly aligned smile that is not only pleasant and attractive, but also helps you enjoy better dental health.

Invisalign London works differently to traditional braces. The aligners will only apply a certain amount of force to the teeth and then they will stop working, after which you need to replace the aligner. This means that it is very important that you are responsible and wear the aligners as instructed for the time recommended and that you replace the aligners at the prescribed time and not earlier or later. The replacement process itself is very easy, although it can take a few hours to become accustomed to the new aligner. With traditional braces the components do not need to be changed, rather they are tightened at regular intervals to continue to apply pressure to your teeth.

Advantages of these invisible aligners

Invisalign is very popular because the aligners are almost invisible in your mouth in comparison to traditional braces that are very prominent and usually draw attention to your teeth. Most people assume that Invisalign is for the older demographic who are looking for discreet teeth straightening, however, teenagers are excellent candidates if looking for a teeth straightening option that does not draw unwanted stares to the mouth.

The aligners are very convenient and allow you to practise correct dental hygiene as you remove the aligners when you brush your teeth. They also need to be taken out at meal times so that they do not become damaged and this helps you to enjoy all your favourite food and drink.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we understand that you may have a busy, hectic lifestyle and do not want to spend hours at the dental practice. You will visit us for the initial consultation. If you wish to go ahead with Invisalign then we will order your aligners and book you in for an initial fitting. After this you can continue with the treatment in the comfort of your own home, updating us on your progress using our Clear Braces Direct monitoring app. When the process is complete you need to be fitted for an Invisalign retainer. The Invisalign retainer will be very similar in shape to your last aligner although it is made of a more sturdy and thicker plastic to hold the teeth in place so that they do not relapse. We are also pleased to be able to offer you complementary teeth whitening to complete your smile makeover. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and begin your journey to a beautiful new smile today.

You will be able to take this video home and decide in your own time how you would like to proceed.

If you wish to undergo teeth straightening with Invisalign then you will make an online payment and a series of individually tailored aligners will be designed for you according to your scan results.

Invisalign London has become an increasingly popular option over the years for realigning patients’ smiles. Many people choose to opt for clear aligners over traditional metal braces if they have mild to moderate alignment issues. While Invisalign can be a great option for some people, it may not be the right treatment if you have more complex alignment issues. At Clear Braces Direct, we have over 16 years of experience of treating over 6,000 patients with Invisalign London. We can treat patients with mild to moderate issues such as crooked or misaligned teeth, overbite or underbite, gaps between teeth, and crowded teeth. We offer a more remote service to save you time and money through the use of our ClinCheck app, which allows us to monitor your progress more frequently than other dental practices may do, keeping an eye on what’s happening each week, rather than every 6 weeks. We also only call you in for a face-to-face appointment when it’s absolutely necessary based on this monitoring and we can get excellent results in as little as 3 to 4 months, even for more comprehensive treatment issues.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually improve the appearance of your teeth. The aligners are made bespoke for each patient using our 3D digital scan with iTero technology, which we deliver for free, before you embark upon your Invisalign treatment. With this scan, we can generate images of what your teeth will look like throughout your treatment, including the final result. We also obtain the measurements for your aligners to be manufactured for you. You will be required to wear the aligners for a couple of weeks, before changing to new ones, and we will send these directly to your door.

Advantages of Invisalign

One of the main advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible, making them a more discreet option than traditional braces. This can give you more confidence to wear the aligners in public as nobody else should realise that you are having treatment. The aligners are also removable, which means that you can take them out at mealtimes, so you won’t have to worry about avoiding any foods that could damage them. Also, you will be able to continue brushing and flossing as normal, without having to contend with having anything in your mouth as you are doing so.

Another advantage of Invisalign is that the treatment process is often faster than other appliances, especially if you come to us at Clear Braces Direct. This enables you to save money and time. What’s not to love about that?!

Considerations before choosing Invisalign

While Invisalign may be a great option for some people, there are a few factors to consider before choosing this treatment such as the cost. At Clear Braces Direct, however, we aim to provide comprehensive Invisalign treatment for a fraction of the normal costs, because Dr Tinker is able to achieve results quicker than other dentists who may not have been treating patients for as long as he has. You must also be willing to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day in order to achieve the results as quickly as possible. You must also ensure that you change the aligners every couple of weeks, as directed. If you have more complex issues, it may be that Invisalign is not the right treatment option for your specific needs and we will be able to advise you of this, before you embark upon the Invisalign treatment.

To find out if Invisalign is the right treatment option for your specific needs, why not book a consultation with us at Clear Braces Direct and start finding the right treatment for you? It’s the only way to start getting the smile you deserve to have.
