Here at Clear Braces Direct we have helped more than 6000 patients achieve beautiful, confident smiles with Invisalign London. We are a Diamond Apex Provider of Invisalign London which means that we are highly experienced and recognised for the quality of our treatments. We have a group of dentists who have been specialising in Invisalign and we will use our knowledge and expertise to help address your dental needs.

Combining Invisalign with other dental treatments

Thanks to advances in dentistry, no smile is too crooked or wonky to fix. If you have complicated orthodontic issues you may require a combined treatment plan such as beginning the treatment with fixed orthodontic braces and continuing your treatment with Invisalign. If you suffer from cavities or tooth decay you may require restorative dental treatment prior to Invisalign. Some patients who suffer from overcrowded teeth may undergo tooth extractions before they begin teeth straightening. According to your dental needs we can help put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. It is important that you visit your dentist on a regular basis so that your teeth are clean and healthy. By undergoing teeth straightening with Invisalign you will be able to help promote better dental health for the future.

Invisalign as an excellent stand-alone treatment

If you have mild or moderate misalignment or malocclusion issues then you can straighten your teeth with Invisalign alone. Invisalign works using a series of clear thermoplastic aligners which are designed using the latest in digital dental technology for accuracy and precision. The number of aligners in the series will vary from patient to patient. Here at Clear Braces Direct we have different treatment plans according to how much movement is necessary to create a beautifully aligned smile for you. Some patients require as little as 7 aligners, whilst others may require up to 30 aligners to straighten their teeth. We will carry out a free three-dimensional scan of your mouth which will help us determine  how long the process will take, as well as the cost of the treatment. We offer payment plans for further convenience.

If you are happy to proceed with Invisalign then we will place an order for your bespoke aligners. This may take a few weeks but they can be sent directly to you or you can visit us for your initial fitting. You may need to have some small attachments fixed to the front of your teeth. These are transparent white squares that are glued onto your teeth to allow the aligners to grip your teeth and apply greater pressure for better movement. You will become accustomed to removing and replacing the aligners and although you can feel the aligners in your mouth, they are comfortable to wear as they are designed specifically for you. Each time you wear a new aligner you may notice that they are tight to begin with, but again it is something that you can become accustomed to very quickly. Soon you will have a beautiful, brand new smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Invisalign London is a modern and discreet method of straightening your teeth. Invisalign London works using clear, thermoplastic, 3D printed aligners that move your teeth just as efficiently as other types of braces, without anyone knowing that you are undergoing dental treatment. You may think that this sounds too good to be true, but more than 14 million patients across the world have successfully undergone teeth straightening with Invisalign London and it continues to be one of the most popular choices amongst dentists and patients alike.

Who needs Invisalign?

Unfortunately there are some complicated orthodontic cases where Invisalign may not be the best treatment option, for example when patients have severely crooked teeth, a significant overbite or underbite or large gaps between the teeth. These issues are more complex and better suited for fixed braces or traditional braces.

If your teeth are simply crooked, wonky, or you have a mild or moderate bite issue then Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you. Maybe you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth and every time you smile you feel self-conscious or worried about what other people are thinking. Invisalign can help solve your issues. Maybe you did not want to undergo orthodontic treatment when you were younger, because you were worried about the braces being visible in your mouth, again Invisalign is an excellent choice for you. You may even have friends and family who have undergone Invisalign treatment, but you did not even notice. This is why it is such an excellent choice of braces. It is highly discreet, quick and efficient and works as a great alternative to traditional orthodontic braces for those who want to straighten their teeth without anyone knowing.

Invisalign with Clear Braces Direct

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are able to offer you a free consultation which includes a 3D scan to create a digital animation of your mouth. We use Invisalign’s own software to calculate how your teeth need to shift in position to create a neatly aligned smile. We can show you what your new smile will look like if you follow through with the treatment. We will also be able to calculate how many aligners you will need, the total duration of the treatment and how much it will cost.

There are different treatment plans according to your dental requirements. You may be able to straighten your teeth within a few months, for example, if you have a small gap between your front teeth or if you have a range of issues then it may take 12 to 18 months. This is still significantly quicker than traditional braces and you can achieve excellent aesthetic results. If you are happy with the treatment plan then we can order your aligners for you.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign works as a series of aligners that have been individually designed to help push your teeth into a neat formation. They work alongside attachments. Attachments are little tooth-coloured pieces of plastic that are glued onto the surface of your teeth and are removed when you finish your treatment. These help straighten your teeth more efficiently by exerting more pressure on them. The number of attachments you need will vary from patient to patient, as well the number of aligners that you need to  straighten your teeth. The average treatment time with Invisalign is between 6 and 12 months. Some patients may require longer if their teeth are suffering more complicated conditions. Each of the aligners will be numbered and there will also be a total number on the packaging. However it is important that you are dedicated to the treatment and comply fully with the instructions otherwise many patients require more aligners at the end to help achieve the perfect result.

Advantages of Invisalign

There are many advantages of Invisalign clear aligners. They are digitally designed and manufactured which means they fit your mouth accurately, preventing any cuts, sores or irritation. It is important that you handle the aligners carefully so that they do not become scratched or damaged. They are made of a very thin plastic, therefore you need to look after them and keep them safe. The aligners are BPA-free and there is very little or no chance of an allergic reaction.

Invisalign aligners are very easy to become accustomed to. Patients report that speaking adaptation generally takes less than 24 hours. If you are moving from one aligner to the next then a great tip is to change the aligner at bedtime so that by the time you wake up in the morning your mouth has become accustomed to the new aligner. Another excellent advantage of Invisalign in comparison to other orthodontic treatments is that the aligners are invisible in the mouth. You can undergo dental treatment confidently and smile carefree and no one will even know that you are wearing any form of braces at all.

If you undergo teeth straightening with Invisalign then you can enjoy your favourite food and drink without having to worry about dietary restrictions. This is because your aligners are taken out at mealtimes to prevent them from getting damaged or affecting your dental health. It is also important that you take them out if you drink anything other than water to prevent them from getting stained. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and find out more about the many advantages of straightening your teeth with Invisalign and let us help you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile very soon.

Invisalign London is a highly efficient method of teeth straightening that is ideal for the modern generation who are looking to straighten their teeth without drawing unwanted attention to their mouths. Here at Clear Braces Direct we want to encourage you to straighten your teeth easily and conveniently with Invisalign London. Invisalign London works by using clear thermoplastic aligners that are worn in your mouth to push your teeth into a neatly aligned formation.

Compliance is key for successful results

Most of the process is carried out in the comfort of your own home. The aligners come as a series and you can work through the series without having to visit the dentist very often. However if you are to straighten your teeth successfully with these invisible braces then compliance and dedication is key. Each of the aligners needs to be worn for approximately 2 weeks and they need to remain in your mouth full time. By full time we mean 20 to 22 hours a day taking them out only for eating, drinking and brushing your teeth. If you wear them for less than 18 hours in a day your teeth will move in the direction we want them to for 18 hours and then they will move back into their original positions for the next 6 hours which means you will only gain about half a day’s benefit at the most. If you drop below 18 hours a day then you will need to add another day to the entire process. Even at 18 hours a day the treatment will not be as productive. Therefore it is important that you wear the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours and put a timer on your watch or mobile phone to remind you how long they have been out of your mouth.

For best results you need to wear your aligners constantly. In this way you will find that your teeth fit smoothly into the next set of aligners. If you do not wear the aligners properly then they may not grip all of your teeth correctly which will prolong the treatment time. To get your treatment back on track you may require extra scans and new aligners and this will be timely and costly for you. With good compliance you can straighten your teeth in as little as 6 to 12 months with Invisalign.

Hold on to your aligners!

Another good tip is to retain your old aligners when you finish with them. If you accidentally lose or damage your current aligner then you can always wear your previous aligner until you receive a replacement. This can prevent your teeth from falling back into their original positions. It helps keep your treatment on track. The aligners will have a handy travel case and it is important that you keep the aligners in the case when they are out of your mouth to prevent any scratches or damage. It is also important to remember that you keep your aligners clean, brushing them with a toothbrush and toothpaste and rinsing them with cold water before you put them back in your mouth. Look after your aligners and you will achieve excellent results with us.

Wholesome teeth and gums are important for our overall health and wellbeing. It is important that we look after our teeth as children, continue to maintain good dental hygiene and visit the dentist on a regular basis, so that we can keep our teeth for the whole of our lives. Teeth straightening is an excellent way of promoting good dental health. Straightened teeth are easier to look after and less prone to cavities and tooth decay. You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about straightening your teeth with Invisalign London.

Clean teeth and healthy gums for successful teeth straightening

Invisalign London is a popular choice for teeth straightening that can help you correct the misalignment issues of your teeth within 6 to 12 months. If you have complex orthodontic issues this may take longer, however, Invisalign London helps you achieve excellent aesthetic results. If you have decided to straighten your teeth then you need to begin with a professional clean, or a scale and polish, to remove any excess plaque and tartar from your mouth. Most orthodontists will recommend this and if they do not do so it is still very important that you go ahead and book one. Once your teeth are clean you are ready to begin the treatment.

You need to undergo a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that teeth straightening is right for you. This means your mouth has to be free of cavities, tooth decay or gum disease. These issues can be worsened by teeth straightening and may cause other complex issues, so your dentist will put together an individually tailored treatment plan appropriate for your dental health.

How does Invisalign work?

When you are ready for teeth straightening, a series of aligners will be digitally designed and manufactured to push your teeth into a neater formation. The number of aligners that you require will vary according to how crooked or wonky your teeth are to begin with. Each of these aligners work for 10 to 14 days and should move your teeth by approximately 0.25 mm to 0.3 mm. After this the aligner will stop working as it cannot move your teeth any further and you move onto the next aligner in the series.

On the day that you change your aligners they may feel a bit tight and slightly uncomfortable for a few hours. If you change the aligners before bedtime then by the time you wake up in the morning your mouth should become accustomed to the new fitting. During the day you can take your aligners out when necessary and it is recommended that you do so at meal times so that you can enjoy the food and drink of your choice, brush your teeth, clean your mouth and put your aligners back in. You should aim to keep the aligners in your mouth for around 22 hours of the day. Good compliance will yield better results.

Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and find out why more than 14 million people have undergone teeth straightening with this system, the many advantages that it can bring and how easy and convenient it is to straighten your teeth with clear aligners.

Invisalign London is an excellent method of teeth straightening that can help you improve the appearance of your smile and enjoy better dental health. It is comfortable and convenient yet, as with other teeth straightening procedures, there are a few things to consider before undergoing treatment with it.

Make sure any teeth straightening is right for you

To begin with you need to make sure that your teeth are free of tooth decay. Tooth decay can often be asymptomatic to begin with so you may not have any symptoms, but that does not mean you do not have cavities or decay. By undergoing a thorough examination of your teeth and gums before beginning your Invisalign London treatment you can prevent complications in the future. This is because teeth that are affected by cavities and tooth decay are not right for teeth straightening. Within a year or less dental complications may begin to show. Any restorative dental treatment needs to be carried out before you can straighten your teeth.  Once you have a positive diagnosis and your mouth is free of cavities, tooth decay, abscesses, gum disease and periodontal disease then you are ready to undergo teeth straightening with Invisalign London.

Individually tailored treatment plan

Next you need a thorough smile assessment to find out which issues need to be treated using Invisalign. Your teeth may be misshapen, some small, some large, you may have chipped and worn teeth, there may be issues with your bite or your teeth may simply be crooked and wonky. By assessing each of the issues that are affecting the appearance of your smile and the alignment of your teeth and jaw, we can put together a customised treatment plan for you and achieve a beautiful smile.

Invisalign helps correct the alignment of your smile within 6 to 12 months, depending on the extent of misalignment that you begin with. It is better suited for patients with mild or moderate misalignment issues of the teeth, whereas more complex dental needs may need to be addressed using fixed braces to begin with before you can complete the procedure with Invisalign.

Smile makeover

Invisalign can also be used to align your teeth prior to other dental treatments.

Maybe you are considering whitening or brightening your teeth and you are looking to improve your smile with veneers, using invisible braces is a great way to prepare your teeth for a big transformation. If you are looking to undergo dental implant surgery to replace missing teeth then it may also be a good way to create space for replacement teeth.

Using Invisalign with us is convenient. You will be able to straighten your teeth in the comfort of your own home with very little time spent at the dental practice. The aligners are delivered to you and you work through the process independently with little or no fuss. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and find out more about teeth straightening, whether to restore your smile or prepare your smile for dental treatment. You can straighten your teeth and smile happily and confidently very soon.

Tooth decay and gum disease do not only affect your mouth, but they also have a significant impact on your health and wellbeing. Research shows that patients who suffer from dental health issues are more likely to have a stroke or a heart attack in comparison to those with healthy teeth and gums. If you want to enjoy healthy teeth and gums then you need to maintain an excellent dental hygiene routine and visit the dentist on a regular basis. Plaque is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease. It is important that you brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day and floss at least once a day, completing your nighttime routine with a fluoride mouthwash.

Regular visits to your dentist should include a professional clean where stubborn plaque can be removed and any signs of cavities or gum disease can be treated quickly and thoroughly. By cutting down on sugary snacks and fizzy drinks you can also enjoy better dental health. Cigarettes and drugs are toxic for your teeth and gums and by making better lifestyle choices you can improve your dental health further.

Benefits of teeth straightening with aligners

Another excellent way to improve your dental health is by addressing any misalignment issues of your teeth.

Invisalign London is a modern and a highly efficient method of teeth straightening that can help transform your dental health.
