Invisalign aligners

Invisalign aligners are designed and manufactured using the latest in digital dental technology.  The aligners work as a series and the number of aligners you need varies from patient to patient depending on your individual dental needs. They are comfortable to wear and fit onto your teeth with accuracy and precision. They are designed to be smooth and flexible so that they can be taken out of your mouth and replaced easily. They will not cause any cuts or sores, rather they are reported to be easy to become accustomed to. Each aligner is numbered for your convenience and you move onto the next aligner in the series after two or three weeks depending on your individual treatment plan. To achieve the best results, the aligners need to be kept in your mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day. It is best to only remove the aligners at mealtimes, after which you can clean your teeth thoroughly and replace the aligners in your mouth. The aligners themselves are also very easy to clean and maintain, you can brush them in warm soapy water, rinse them and put them back in your mouth.

In comparison to traditional orthodontic braces, Invisalign can straighten your teeth in 6 to 12 months. If you have complex needs then it can take up to 18 months and by using a retainer once you complete the process, you can maintain a beautiful, healthy smile for the rest of your life. Invisalign has its very own retainer system and you will be provided with a retainer which will be very similar to the last aligner in your series and this will help keep your smile perfectly aligned so that your teeth do not start to move back into their original positions.  The entire process can be monitored on our online monitoring app and you will have access to our expert advice at all times. To find out more about straightening your teeth quickly and conveniently you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and let us put together an Invisalign treatment plan for you.

If you have been researching teeth straightening then it is more than likely that you will have come across Invisalign London. Over the last two decades, Invisalign London has become one of the most popular teeth straightening options across the world. At Clear Braces Direct we have helped thousands of patients straighten their teeth successfully with Invisalign London and because of this we are one of the top Invisalign providers in the whole of Europe. If you want to straighten your teeth using Invisalign then you have come to the right place. Here at Clear Braces Direct we want to make teeth straightening easier than ever before so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a neatly aligned smile. A neatly aligned smile is not only attractive and aesthetically pleasing, but it is also highly beneficial for your dental health. If you have neatly aligned teeth then you are less prone to developing dental health complications such as cavities and tooth decay in the future. You can prevent the development of gum disease, gum recession, bone decay and tooth loss. In conclusion, Invisalign can prolong the longevity of your teeth and help you enjoy healthy teeth and gums for the rest of your life.

Who needs Invisalign?

Invisalign is ideal for patients who have moderate orthodontic needs. It can be used to improve the appearance of crooked and wonky teeth. It can help align overlapping or overcrowded teeth. It can be used to correct the appearance and alignment of protruding front teeth and it can also be used to close minor gaps between the teeth. If your orthodontic needs are more complex, then we may recommend a combined treatment plan. This means you may have to begin with a different type of braces to initiate the process and move on to Invisalign later on or you may have to undergo dental surgery, or a tooth extraction, depending on your individual requirements. If you follow the procedure correctly then the process itself takes approximately 6 to 12 months in those with mild or moderate needs, but with patients who have more complex needs it can take 12 to 18 months.

Comfortable aligners

There are many advantages of Invisalign in comparison to other orthodontic treatments which is why it is so popular worldwide. Most people worry that orthodontic treatment is painful. Moving your teeth with any type of braces is bound to cause a bit of discomfort, but with Invisalign the discomfort is significantly less than with others. Some patients may wish to take paracetamol on the day they begin the treatment, but 90% of patients are fine without any medication. It is reported that the aligners are easy to become accustomed to and if you begin the process before you go to sleep at night then by the time you wake up in the morning the aligners should fit your teeth comfortably. Each aligner needs to be changed every two weeks and you move onto the next aligner in the series, so again if you do this at bedtime then by the time you wake up in the morning the aligners should feel natural in your mouth. The aligners themselves are easy to remove and replace for added convenience. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Many people avoid orthodontic treatment because they are scared by traditional braces. Traditional braces use brackets and wires that are fixed to the surface of your teeth to straighten your teeth into a neater formation. The brackets are glued onto each individual tooth and the wire is slotted through the brackets and the components are tightened on regular intervals to move your teeth until they form a neatly aligned smile correcting complex orthodontic issues in an average of 12 to 24 months. Traditional braces are the most affordable option for those who are looking to straighten their teeth, but with the availability of payment plans you can consider other options which may be more to your taste.

Invisalign

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are pleased to be able to offer you Invisalign London. Whilst traditional braces are better suited for those with complex orthodontic needs, if you have mild or moderate orthodontic issues then you can speak to us at Clear Braces Direct about Invisalign which helps improve the aesthetics of your smile and improve your dental health at the same time. Clear Braces Direct is a modern method of teeth straightening. It uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth and the aligners are designed to work in a sequence. Each patient will have a different number of aligners depending on their individual dental needs. The aligners themselves need to be worn for two weeks at a time before you move on to the next aligner in the series.

Removable aligners

Invisalign aligners are removable which means that they are highly convenient, ideal for the modern generation. They do not impose any restrictions and you can take them out of your mouth and replace them as necessary, although ideally you should wear them consistently for optimal results. You need to keep the aligners in your mouth for a total of 20 to 22 hours of the day giving you 2 to 4 hours for meal times and cleaning your teeth.

Advantages of Invisalign

You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and book a free consultation so that we can find out if Invisalign is the best choice for you. Invisalign is modern, highly comfortable and convenient. Best of all it is completely discreet. This means that you can straighten your teeth and not even your closest friends have to know about it. It can be your secret.

Invisalign works using individually tailored 3-D printed thermoplastic aligners. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment. Traditionally braces are made of metal wires and brackets that are fixed to the surface of your teeth. These types of braces are very good at teeth straightening, however they are very noticeable and do draw attention to your mouth. They also have to be worn for a long period of time and you require regular appointments with the orthodontist to adjust the braces throughout the treatment. In contrast, Invisalign is carried out in the comfort of your own home and you will spend minimum time at a dental clinic or in the dentist’s chair. The total length of the procedure is also shorter with Invisalign than it is with traditional braces. Traditional metal braces require between 18 and 24 months whilst the average treatment time with Invisalign is 12 months to straighten your teeth.

How does it work?

At the initial appointment you will have a full smile assessment including a 3-D scan of your mouth to create a digital image of your teeth. This is manipulated to show what your teeth can look like once they have been straightened with Invisalign. If you like what you see, then we can order a series of aligners that will work together to apply pressure to your teeth and gently force them into their new position. Different patients require a different number of aligners. Some patients can straighten their teeth with as little as 7 aligners if they have minor issues whilst others with more complex orthodontic needs may require 20 to 30 aligners to straighten their teeth. Each aligner has to be worn for approximately two weeks at a time and we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. Book a consultation with us at Clear Braces Direct today and you could receive your aligners within a few weeks. The sooner you begin the process the fewer complications you will face in the future, as crooked and wonky teeth not only look less attractive, but also have a lot of negative implications for your dental health. By straightening your teeth you will have a healthy and happy smile to show off to the world.

If you have crooked or wonky teeth, it is likely that you are unhappy with your smile. This can affect your confidence and your overall mindset. It can prevent you from reaching your maximum potential in a social situation as well as in your profession, and in turn it can affect your general mien. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. Do not let your teeth affect your life any more. Thanks to advances in dental technology, straightening your teeth to achieve a beautifully aligned smile is easier than ever before.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we can make the process even more simple for you. We are a Diamond Apex Invisalign provider and we have helped correct more than 6000 smiles using Invisalign London. If you visit our website and book a consultation then we will be happy to offer you a free 3-dimensional iTero scan that will show you the steps that your teeth will go through and how your teeth will look following successful treatment with Invisalign London. These steps will then be translated into a series of aligners which you wear to straighten your teeth. Invisalign aligners are made of clear, BPA-free thermoplastic and are almost invisible when they are worn in your mouth. They can help you straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your mouth. This means that they are a great alternative to traditional braces, especially for those who are already unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. Aligners are also more comfortable than traditional metal braces. They will fit smoothly and securely over your teeth as they are digitally designed and 3D printed. This means there should be little to no chance of developing cuts or sores in the mouth, rather they should fit like a glove.

A brand new smile in only 3 appointments

In comparison to traditional orthodontic treatment, Invisalign is also more convenient. Firstly you spend significantly less time at the dentist. Here at Clear Braces Direct we can complete your treatment in as little as 3 appointments. This includes the initial consultation where we will put together a treatment plan for you. Next you will visit us for the initial fitting allowing us to place attachments on to your teeth for better teeth straightening. You can go through the Invisalign process by yourself in the comfort of your own home, changing the aligners every two weeks. We can monitor your progress online, providing feedback as necessary. Finally you can visit us at the end of the treatment for teeth whitening to complete the transformation of your dental aesthetics and also to order a set of retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile. We are conveniently located in London and Newcastle so you can book an appointment that is suitable for you.

By straightening your teeth with Invisalign London you can transform your smile and your overall appearance completely, boosting your self-confidence and bringing positivity into all aspects of your life.

Invisalign London is a modern and successful method of teeth straightening that can produce excellent aesthetic results in a short period of time. It is ideal for busy lifestyles when you do not want to spend hours in the dentist’s chair. Most of the process is carried out from the comfort of your own home and thanks to advances in digital technology the progress of your treatment can also be monitored online. If this sounds ideal for you then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. We want to make the process as easy for you as possible. This is because we understand that despite there being plenty of options available, many people still avoid teeth straightening because they think it will be a complicated or difficult process.

Does Invisalign hurt?

A question that we are asked all the time is: does Invisalign hurt? The truth is Invisalign London is not completely pain-free, but it consists of moving your teeth from a misaligned position into a neat formation, therefore it is normal for there to be a certain extent of discomfort. Invisalign London works as a series of aligners. Every time you move on to the next aligner in the series your mouth may feel sore, because the aligners will be tight to begin with. The best way to address this is to change your aligner before you go to sleep at night. If you wake up 8 hours later than your mouth should have become accustomed to the feeling and you can get on with the rest of your day as normal. Even though you need to remove your aligners before eating or drinking, you may also find at first it is difficult to eat a lot of hard or chewy food and you may prefer softer foods or food that requires less chewing. Again this should subside very quickly and you should be able to eat and drink as you wish. Invisalign is known for being comfortable and convenient and in comparison to traditional orthodontic methods it truly is.

Looking after your aligners

The aligners need to be kept in your mouth for at least 22 hours a day for 2 weeks at a time. If you are unable to adhere to the guidelines then this will affect the end results. If you lose or damage an aligner then this can also affect the treatment process. By setting a timer every time you remove the aligners from your mouth you can monitor whether or not you are wearing them for long enough. To avoid losing your aligners you should keep them in the handy travel case that you are provided with when they are out of your mouth. This is also more hygienic and will prevent your aligners from getting damaged. It is important that you keep in touch with us through the app so that we can monitor your progress and make sure that the treatment is coming along successfully and within approximately a year you should have a neatly aligned smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and let us put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you.

Is Invisalign the right choice of treatment for you?

We are located conveniently both in London and Newcastle, therefore, to begin with, you need to choose a location. You can then book an appointment that is convenient for you. At the appointment we will carry out diagnostic imaging of your teeth and this may be in the form of photographs, X-rays and a three-dimensional scan. We use Invisalign’s very own software to put together an animation of your mouth. This helps identify the issues with the alignment of your teeth. The software calculates the movements that are necessary to move each tooth into a neater alignment and finally it is able to show you how your teeth will look once they have been successfully moved with Invisalign. Together with a full explanation of how Invisalign works and what the treatment involves, you will be sent home with the scan results as well as our professional opinion on whether or not we believe this is the best choice for you, allowing you to make a carefully considered thorough decision.

How does Invisalign work?

If you decide to straighten your teeth with us then you can make an online payment and we will place the order for your aligners. You will be pleased to know that there are payment plans available for your added convenience. The aligners can then be delivered directly to you. They can be delivered to us if you wish to have your initial fitting carried out by one of our dentists. You will receive a series of Invisalign aligners which are numbered to avoid confusion. They are made of clear thermoplastic and therefore they are discreet and comfortable. It is important to keep the aligners in your mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day, removing them at mealtimes and for cleaning your teeth. Within the first 2 or 3 months you should be able to notice some visible changes and in 6 to 12 months you should achieve a neatly aligned smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

It is important that you visit your dentist on a regular basis so that any dental issues can be detected early on and treated quickly and efficiently to prevent complications in the future. Most people suffer from malalignment and malocclusion issues of the teeth to a certain extent. No one has a perfectly aligned smile or a perfect bite unless they have undergone orthodontic treatment recently. It is important that you do not ignore these issues or delay addressing these conditions as the longer you wait the more complicated the problem may become. Misalignment issues include protruding front teeth, overcrowded teeth, gaps in the teeth, overlapping teeth and generally crooked, wonky or misshapen teeth. Thanks to advances in dental technology Invisalign London is a highly beneficial method of addressing such issues with us at Clear Braces Direct.

Malocclusion – bite disorders

Some conditions of the teeth are known as bite disorders. A bite disorder is when your upper teeth and lower teeth do not fit together properly. Not only does this affect the appearance of your smile, there are many different issues that can be caused by bite disorders. Firstly they can affect the shape of your face, accentuate the lines around your mouth and give you an overall aged appearance. Bite disorders subject your teeth to greater wear and tear, so you may find that your teeth become thinner and this means that they are more prone to damage in the form of chips and cracks on the teeth. You are more likely to suffer from headaches and jaw pain. You can develop gaps between the teeth and eventually you may suffer from what is known as a collapsed bite. Invisalign London can be used in the treatment of bite disorders. If you suffer from misalignment issues of the teeth or a bite disorder whether it is overbite, underbite or crossbite, you can contact us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about Invisalign London.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the most popular methods of teeth straightening and correcting bite disorders, and there are many advantages that it has in comparison to traditional orthodontic treatment. To begin with Invisalign works using clear thermoplastic aligners as an alternative to metal wires and brackets to straighten your teeth. This means that it is comfortable in the mouth and it is highly discreet, therefore, you can undergo teeth straightening without feeling embarrassed or conscious that you are drawing further attention to your mouth. Because of this more people than ever before have straightened their teeth using Invisalign, as many had avoided orthodontic treatment because traditional braces are highly visible in the mouth. The fact that they are comfortable to wear is also a huge advantage. Orthodontic treatment takes approximately 1 to 2 years to complete, therefore, you do not want to be in discomfort for such a long time. With Invisalign the aligners are individually tailored to fit your mouth accurately, so that not only are they comfortable to wear, but they are quick and easy to remove and replace. They can be used to correct a range of alignment conditions of the teeth without the need for fixed braces and by adhering to our guidelines you can have a beautifully aligned smile very soon.

It is important to maintain good dental hygiene through all stages of life to prevent cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. Studies show that many people admit to not brushing their teeth before bedtime which can cause serious dental health issues. Bacteria and food particles linger within the mouth resulting in acid production which damages your teeth and gums. It is important that you brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss after meals and use a good mouthwash to rinse your mouth, so that it remains clean, free of bacteria and lingering food debris.

Unfortunately some people are more prone to dental health issues despite maintaining a good dental hygiene routine. These are often people with crooked teeth. If you have crooked or wonky teeth you may find that despite good brushing and flossing you suffer from some unpleasant symptoms. This could be bad breath, sensitivity, bleeding gums or even toothache. This is because although you may take your time to brush and floss your teeth carefully, bacteria and food particles become lodged within hard-to-reach areas which your brush or floss cannot clean. This happens if you have overcrowded teeth or overlapping teeth and can lead to more serious complications later on in life.

Teeth straightening with Invisalign

Visit our website at Clear Braces Direct and find out how you can carry out teeth straightening in the comfort of your own home with Invisalign London. It is always important that you consult an orthodontist before beginning any form of teeth straightening. One of our dentists will carry out a thorough dental assessment and make sure that your teeth and gums are strong and healthy and that it is fine to move your teeth. If the orthodontist is happy that Invisalign London is suitable for you, you will undergo a three-dimensional scan of your mouth which will help put together a treatment plan for you. Digital technology allows our orthodontist to find out exactly what your teeth can look like with successful treatment  using Invisalign London. From these images a series of Invisalign aligners are designed to push your teeth from their original positions into the predicted new positions. These aligners are manufactured for you within a few weeks and can be delivered straight to your door.

Once you begin the treatment it is important that you adhere to the protocol. You need to wear the aligners for approximately 22 hours of the day. Each aligner needs to be worn for 10 to 14 days according to your prescription. They need to be taken out of your mouth when you eat or drink to prevent them from getting damaged and once you have finished eating or drinking it is important you clean your mouth thoroughly to prevent cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. If you adhere to the protocol then the treatment should take between six and twelve months. By straightening your teeth with Invisalign you will be able to take better care of your smile with significantly less chance of developing cavities, tooth decay and gum disease in the future.

Did you know that Invisalign London has become one of the most popular choices of teeth straightening? And with Clear Braces Direct it is now easier than ever before to have beautiful straight teeth. Visit our website and find out why more and more people are using Invisalign London with us. We make the process even more simple and convenient, allowing you to get on with your everyday life, helping you straighten your teeth without spending hours at the dental practice.

Invisalign works using a sequence of clear thermoplastic aligners to replace metal wires and brackets that are found in traditional orthodontic braces. This makes the process easier and more comfortable, but most importantly it means that you can straighten your teeth at your complete discretion. We will find out if Invisalign is the best choice of orthodontic treatment for you and we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan that is suitable for you.

How does Invisalign work?

For optimal results with Invisalign it is important that you follow the guidelines very strictly. This means you have to wear your aligners for approximately 22 hours of the day giving you 2 hours for meal times and cleaning your teeth. You may wish to set a timer on your phone every time you take out your aligners, so that you are aware of how long they have been out of your mouth to make sure that they are not out of your mouth for any longer than they have to be. You will be given a small case in which you can place your aligners when they are out of your mouth. This is more hygienic than putting them in your pocket or leaving them lying around where there is greater chance of losing them. Once you have finished your meal you need to brush your teeth thoroughly, floss between your teeth and if possible rinse with a good mouthwash before placing your aligners back into your mouth. This helps your teeth remain clean and healthy throughout the process. Invisalign can straighten your teeth within 6 to 12 months, but for more complicated cases this may be longer.

Maintaining your new smile

The retention stage is very important for keeping your teeth nice and straight. Once you have completed wearing all your aligners and you are happy with the alignment of your teeth then any attachments can be taken off and we will give you a clear set of retainers very similar to your Invisalign aligners. It is important that you wear your retainers according to the guidelines, otherwise your teeth can begin to move back to their original state. It is also important that you have regular check-ups at our dentist to make sure that your teeth are clean and healthy. You should visit the hygienist regularly to remove excess plaque and tartar from your teeth and by maintaining a good dental hygiene routine at home you will be able to enjoy a happy and beautiful smile for the rest of your life.
