If the film Encanto had been about Invisalign London, then we at Clear Braces Direct wouldn’t have been surprised. The magic that emanates from the movie screen could easily be mistaken for what is also happening when you wear Invisalign. However, the magic of Invisalign actually involves a lot of science, skills and expertise on the part of dental providers. At Clear Braces Direct, we have treated over 7000 patients, and we are accredited by Invisalign as Diamond Apex providers. This means that we are experienced in helping patients realign mild to moderate alignment issues such as crossbites, crowded teeth, gapped teeth, overbites and underbites, and we are in the top 1% of dentists to get this award.

The magic behind Invisalign

Of course, Invisalign London deals with metaphorical magic, but it may seem magical to you when you put on the aligners; this is because when you place the aligners over your teeth, only your teeth should be visible. The aligners are made of transparent plastic, which is why they are discreet and offer teens and adults a solution to getting their teeth aligned without anyone else knowing how they are doing it – unless they choose to reveal it, of course! So, shhh! Keep the magic alive!

The aligners realign your smile by placing pressure on the teeth to push them into the targeted positions, and this should move them into place in as little as 4 to 6 months. In fact, you may only require three appointments to come and see us throughout the whole treatment! Don’t worry though; we have a remote monitoring app, which allows us to check your progress every week. We will call you in for additional appointments if we feel we need to see you more frequently, but we will only ask you to come in if it is really necessary, so you won’t have to worry about spending more time than is necessary on coming to see us.

More money-saving tips!

We will also save you money by offering you a free consultation to ascertain whether or not Invisalign is the right treatment for you. During this appointment, you will be able to discuss your goals for your smile. We will listen carefully because we want to understand what you hope to achieve to ensure that we can explain whether this can be achieved with Invisalign. We will then examine your mouth and possibly x-ray it to identify what the treatment options are. We will then present these options to you, and you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If you choose Invisalign and it is the right treatment for you, then we can also offer a free iTero scan of your mouth. This digital scan obtains the measurements we need to make your aligners, and it also allows us to generate a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after treatment, so you can start getting excited about your great smile from day one.

Wearing the aligners

You will need to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, leaving time to remove them before you have a meal or brush your teeth, for example. You will receive your aligners in the post for free, and you will need to change your aligners on a weekly basis.

If you decide to go with Invisalign London, you could discreetly get a great smile in 4 to 6 months, so shhh! You don’t have to talk about Invisalign with anyone but us!

If you’re looking for a treatment that will put a smile on your face and address your mild to moderate alignment issues, then Invisalign London could be just what you need. Invisalign consists of aligners that are worn over the teeth, and as they are made of plastic, they are barely visible when worn. The aligners apply pressure to move the teeth into the targeted positions over months. In fact, you could have your new smile in as little as 4 to 6 months with Invisalign from us at Clear Braces Direct.

What we do

For your Invisalign London journey, our team at Clear Braces Direct will go all out to ensure that you receive great service and benefit from our experience and expertise. We are proud to be Diamond Apex providers of Invisalign, which means that we are in the top 1% of dentists to achieve this accreditation. We have treated over 7000 patients with Invisalign, so we have a lot of experience delivering on our promise of great smiles.

Before you begin your treatment, you will need to have a consultation with us to find out whether it is the right one for your specific needs. We offer this consultation completely free, and there is no obligation to continue if you don’t want to pursue treatment for any reason. During this appointment, our dentist will chat with you about your concerns about your smile. They will examine your mouth and determine the treatment options, explaining each one fully so that you can make an informed decision. You will also be able to ask as many questions as you wish to ensure that you are confident about what the treatment would involve. After this, we will give you a free iTero scan; this is a digital scan we use to get the measurements of your mouth to have your aligners made to measure.

As you will need to change your aligners every week, we will send sets of them to your home for free, so you won’t need to come in to see us and pick them up, which should save you time and money. We will also use a bespoke monitoring app to keep an eye on your weekly progress. At any point during your treatment, if we feel we need to see you, we will ask you to come in for a check-up; this means that you will only need to visit us when you really have to, saving you time and money again.

Once you have completed your Invisalign London journey, you will then just need to see us for a final appointment. You will have the option to purchase retainers to keep your smile looking as wonderful as can be.

Discretion is key

If you are anxious about people knowing that you are having treatment to realign your smile, then you shouldn’t need to worry with Invisalign London. Invisalign is a brand of transparent aligners that can be worn over the teeth like a gumshield, and only your teeth should be visible through the aligners. The aligners push against the teeth to move them into the correct positions, and you will need to change your aligners every week or so. We will send the aligners straight to your front door, so you won’t need to worry about coming in to see us every time you need a new aligner, saving you time and money.

What we do

At Clear Braces Direct, we also like to make life easy for our patients by ensuring that they only come in to see us when they really have to. You will need to come in for an initial consultation, which is completely free, and we will scan your mouth using our iTero digital scanner; we won’t charge you for this either. The scan gives us the measurements of your mouth to have your aligners manufactured bespoke for you. The scan results can also be used to generate an animation of what your teeth will look like after the treatment has finished, which should give you a great idea of how wonderful your smile will be. Knowing the final result can help you get excited about wearing your aligners for 22 hours a day.

While you wear your aligners, we will use a remote monitoring app to allow us to track your weekly progress. We will assess whether or not we need to see you for a checkup based on your current progress. If we invite you in for a checkup, it will only be if we really feel it is necessary, rather than inviting you in every six weeks; that would just waste both your time and money. At Clear Braces Direct, we like to be upfront and do the job that needs doing to the Diamond Apex standards rather than have superfluous time that is of no benefit to you.

What they all probably won’t offer is the experience and expertise that is required to become an accredited Diamond Apex Invisalign provider. At Clear Braces Direct, we have treated over 7000 patients successfully with Invisalign, and our skills and expertise have enabled us to become Diamond Apex Invisalign accredited providers. Choosing Clear Braces Direct also enables you to save time and money.

How will you be able to save me money?

As part of your Invisalign London journey, you will need to have an iTero scan; this is a digital scan that is used to get the measurements of your mouth so that we can have your aligners custom-made for you. We will also use our experience to identify whether any additional alterations need to be made to your aligners to give you as snug a fit as possible. With this scan, we can also generate a 3D animation to show you what your smile will look like once the treatment has been completed before you get started. At Clear Braces Direct, we offer this scanning service for free. Yes, you did read that correctly!

Once your aligners have been made, we will send them to you for free. You will need to change your aligners every week, meaning that you will require several sets of them, which we will always send to you free of charge. You may need to see us for checkups, but we will only ask you to come in when we really need you to, saving you both time and money on travelling. We achieve this by using a remote monitoring app with which we can track your progress on a weekly basis.

How do the aligners work?

The aligners press against the teeth to move them gradually into the correct positions; this typically takes just a few months, and your treatment could be completed in as little as 4 to 6 months and possibly only three appointments! You can remove the aligners for up to 2 hours a day, which means that you won’t need to worry about altering your diet in any way to avoid hard or chewy foods, for example, as you can take your aligners out before mealtimes. Moreover, you can also take them out to brush and floss afterwards, keeping your teeth and gums healthy. You will also have time for other things, such as playing sports, going to book club, or picking strawberries – you choose!

Let’s get started

If you are excited about getting a great smile and want to find out whether Invisalign London could be the right treatment for you, why not contact us for a free consultation? We at Clear Braces Direct have the experience and expertise to ensure that you get the treatment you need to have a wonderful smile, and if it is Invisalign time, you can save both time and money with us.

If you’ve been considering addressing your misaligned teeth, you may have held off because you’ve been worrying about how much of a commitment having dental work would be. At Clear Braces Direct, we aim to make getting your smile aligned as easy as possible, only requiring you to come into the practice when it is absolutely necessary, and you could have your results with Invisalign London in as little as 3 to 4 months. With online consultations, remote monitoring via our bespoke monitoring app and Invisalign London aligners being delivered for free to your door, there are so many reasons to get started on achieving your smile now – no excuses!

How does it work?

Many dental practices offer Invisalign; however, we at Clear Braces Direct are Diamond Apex Invisalign accredited providers; this means that we are in the top 1% of dentists offering this treatment.

We understand that while technology allows us to custom-make aligners for you using our iTero digital scan to get the measurements, we also need to check whether everything is going to work out with those measurements – that’s where our skills and experience make us stand out. We will tweak the aligners to be manufactured with the ultimate precision and effectiveness for your mouth. When you wear your aligners, they should, therefore, be more comfortable as they apply pressure to the teeth to move them into the desired positions. Throughout your treatment, you will need to change your aligners every week, and we will send you the required sets of aligners.

Why Invisalign?

Invisalign London is a wonderful treatment for mild to moderate alignment issues and for those who are keen to have a discreet option. The aligners are barely visible when worn over the teeth because the plastic they are made from is transparent. You may also remove the aligners for 2 hours each day, so you won’t have to wear them when you are dining or brushing your teeth (don’t forget to floss too!). There should also be time to have your aligners out for any other reason, such as playing sports, meeting friends or writing poetry – it’s up to you!

How will Clear Braces Direct help me?

Our service is as convenient as can be, along with our professional and experienced team delivering your treatment. Firstly, we will have an initial consultation with you, where we can discuss your concerns about your smile. We will then scan your mouth and generate a 3D animation of how your teeth would look once the treatment has been completed to give you a clear idea of how great your smile will be. From this, we can then get your aligners made and sent to your home. We will then monitor your progress using a weekly monitoring app, so you won’t need to come and see us unless necessary, saving you time and money on frequent appointments. At the end of the treatment, you will need to see us for a final check-up, and this could be within just a few months of you starting your treatment – it’s so easy!

So, if you feel that Invisalign could be the treatment you’d like to get started with, why not book your free consultation with us at Clear Braces Direct and get the Diamond Apex treatment?

Invisalign in Newcastle is a popular choice for patients looking to straighten their teeth without the use of traditional braces. But what if there was a way to make them even more effective? With the help of the 3D Itero scan, our dentist can create a more accurate and precise treatment plan, resulting in straighter teeth in less time!

What are clear aligners, and how do they work?

Invisalign in Newcastle is a relatively new technology in the world of dentistry, which can be used to correct misaligned teeth and work by gently moving teeth into the correct positions. This is done using a series of clear aligners that gradually adjust your teeth. Dental clear aligners are a great alternative to traditional braces, as they are nearly invisible and much more comfortable.

Benefits of the 3D Itero scan

The 3D Itero scan is a great tool for creating dental clear aligners. It allows for precise measurements and ensures a more accurate fit for the patient. The benefits of using the 3D Itero scan for dental clear aligners include:

1. Accuracy – the 3D Itero scan is extremely accurate, which means that the patient’s teeth will be correctly aligned.

2. Efficiency – the 3D Itero scan can quickly create a customised aligner for the patient, meaning that the patient can spend less time in the dental chair and get started on their treatment quickly.

3. Convenience – The 3D Itero scan is a portable device that can be used in our dental clinic, so patients can receive their treatment regardless of their location.

If you are considering Invisalign in Newcastle, be sure to ask our dentist here at Clear Braces Direct whether they use the 3D Itero scan. This state-of-the-art technology can provide you with the best possible results.

How to get started with clear aligners

If you are considering getting dental clear aligners, you may be wondering how to get started. The first step is to visit our dentist, who will evaluate your teeth and decide whether clear aligners are the right option for you. If we determine that you are a good candidate for the treatment, we will create a treatment plan that includes the number of aligners you will need and the timeframe for wearing them.

Once you have your treatment plan, you can order your clear aligners online. There are many companies that offer this treatment, so do your research to find the right option for you. Be sure to ask the company about their return policy in case you are not happy with the results.

Once you have your aligners, it is important to follow our dentist’s instructions for wearing them. You will need to wear each aligner for at least 22 hours a day for the desired results. After a few weeks, you will need to switch to a new aligner that is slightly different from the previous one; this process will continue until your teeth are straightened.

If you are looking for an effective and convenient way to straighten your teeth, dental clear aligners may be the right option for you.

Many people have used Invisalign in Newcastle to straighten their teeth. This discreet, transparent aligner system is now available for at-home use and can be used to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. Now there is a companion app that helps you track your progress, keep up with your dental hygiene and gain access to guidance at the push of a button, all while you wear your Invisalign aligners.

What are clear aligners, and how do they work?

Clear aligners are a type of dental brace that works to slowly move your teeth into the correct positions. They are made of a clear plastic that is comfortable to wear and virtually invisible. Clear aligners can be custom-made for each patient and used to correct a wide variety of dental problems.

Once you have your aligners, you will need to wear them for at least 22 hours a day. It is important to wear them as often as possible, but you can remove them before eating and brushing your teeth.

Invisalign in Newcastle is a great option for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the use of metal braces. These aligners are comfortable to wear and very discreet. If you are interested in using clear aligners, talk to our dentist at Clear Braces Direct about getting started.

The benefits of using clear aligners over traditional braces

One of the biggest benefits of using clear aligners over traditional braces is that they are much less noticeable. If you are self-conscious about your teeth, clear aligners are a great option because people will hardly be able to see them. Another benefit of clear aligners is that they are removable; this means that you can take them out when you eat or brush your teeth like normal.

How to use the companion app?

If you’re using Invisalign in Newcastle, the companion app can help you get the most out of your treatment. Here are some tips on how to use it:

1. Download the app and create an account.

2. Upload a photo of your teeth so that the app can create a treatment plan for you.

3. Follow the instructions in the app to wear your aligners and track your progress.

4. Use the tips and tools in the app to stay on track with your treatment plan.

5. Celebrate your progress and share your results with friends and family!

Tips for upkeep

Here are a few tips for keeping your teeth healthy and looking great while wearing clear aligners:

1. Make sure to keep your aligners clean; this means brushing them after each use and soaking them in a denture cleaner or other tooth-friendly solution overnight.

2. Be sure to visit our dentist regularly for checkups.

3. Don’t forget to use the app! It is important to keep track of your progress so that you can be sure of achieving the results you want as soon as possible. Following these tips will help you get the most out of your treatment with clear aligners!

When it comes to deciding which orthodontic treatment is right for you, there are many factors that our team at Clear Braces Direct will consider. One of the key things that we will assess is the severity of your dental misalignment. If you have a more complicated case that involves your molar teeth or requires one of your teeth to be rotated, we will likely suggest that you wear a clear fixed brace or an orthodontic brace. But if you have a mild misalignment at the front of your mouth, we will likely suggest an invisible aligner, which comes with its own set of advantages.

As our name suggests, at Clear Braces Direct, we’re all about discreet dental care and are proud to offer our suitable patients Invisalign London. These clear aligners are easy to fit into daily life and virtually invisible when worn out and about or even in meetings. Great stuff!

So with that in mind, what are some of the key advantages of wearing Invisalign London? Read on to find out!

Better fit

Unlike braces, which must be cut and pasted into place to fit your teeth, Invisalign London can be custom-made to slot over your teeth at each stage of the realignment process. This starts with our team taking an intraoral scan of your teeth and then using computer software to plan each stage of the realignment treatment. Each stage is then printed into an invisible aligner, which enables a better fit and less soreness or rubbing against the inner cheeks and gums.

Removable

One of the core reasons why many adults are eager to use invisible aligners is simply because they are removable, meaning that you do not have to forfeit certain foods whilst undergoing the treatment. You simply need to take the aligners out before you eat! But you will need to ensure that the aligners are washed before they are placed back into your mouth and that your teeth have been cleaned to ensure that no plaque or debris is trapped by the aligner and pressed against your teeth.

Accelerated treatment

Many people assume that because the aligners are invisible, they will take longer to work, but this is not the case. On average, invisible aligners will take between 3 to 6 months to work, depending on the severity of the misalignment and provided that you wear them for the set amount of time per day, which is 22 hours.

Comfort level

Because they are custom-made and slim, many patients find these aligners more comfortable to wear than fixed braces. The aligners also utilise a different system for moving your teeth; rather than pulling your teeth into position (as is the way with braces), they gently push them into the desired positions, making the overall process more comfortable and manageable.

Ease of daily use

One of the core advantages of wearing invisible aligners is the ease of daily use. You can take your aligner out and wear them back on, provided you wear them for 22 hours a day. They are visually discreet and require no use of interdental brushes or excessive trips to see our team to have them adjusted, making them easier to fit into daily adult life.

Much like the ongoing disputes between comic book fans about which comic is better, DC or Marvel, there is now something of a similar dispute undertaken by dentists: which is better for adult orthodontic care, braces or invisible aligners?

Luckily, this is down to interpretation as both of these options have their own benefits and setbacks. As you can imagine, it is easier to determine which will be better suited for a patient than which comic book villain is a better character!

When you come to Clear Braces Direct, we will offer you a candid assessment of your current dental misalignment. If we feel that it is too severe to undertake Invisalign London, we will happily refer you to one of our orthodontic colleagues to better fit your needs. However, if you are given the green light by our team, you can begin using these remarkable invisible aligners.

But what are some of the core considerations that go into choosing which is more suited for you? Here is a brief guide as to what our team will consider when deciding whether Invisalign London is right for you.

Discipline

One of the key differences between using Invisalign London and braces is the discipline involved in the use of the former. For invisible aligners to work, they need to be worn for around 22 hours a day; this is solely your responsibility. When it comes to assessing whether this treatment will work or not, our team will need to know that you have the discipline to wear them for this allotted time.

Severity of misalignment

As mentioned earlier, the severity of the misalignment will play a large role in determining which orthodontic tool we will use. If you have a misalignment that involves your molar teeth or requires one of your teeth to be rotated, this will usually be best suited to a fixed brace. If the misalignment is mild to minor and located at the front of your mouth, then we will likely suggest the use of invisible aligners.

Time

The timeline of both treatments is very different, with orthodontic braces taking up to 3 years to straighten teeth and invisible aligners taking between 3 to 6 months on average. So, if you have an important event coming up and a mild to moderate misalignment, then our team will likely suggest the invisible aligners. However, if you have a severe orthodontic misalignment, we will not recommend simply using invisible aligners just because they are faster but may suggest a clear fixed brace instead.

Impact

Do you have a job that requires you to give a lot of talks? Once again, if you do and need a more complicated realignment of your teeth, we may suggest a clear fixed brace. However, one of the core benefits of wearing invisible aligners is that visually, they are exceedingly discreet, thus making less of an impact.

Care

It is fair to say that fixed braces and invisible aligners both require care. Fixed braces will require you to attend dental checkups and appointments more regularly to have them tightened, and you will need to invest in interdental brushes to keep them clean. Invisible aligners also need to be kept clean, and you must maintain good oral hygiene. So, depending on your age and level of dental health, we will assess your suitability for each orthodontic tool.

If you grew up with a friend who was wearing a fixed metal brace, then you’re probably familiar with their routine. They would need to brush their teeth excessively after eating meals and see their dentist every 2 to 6 weeks on average to have their braces adjusted and tightened to move their teeth.

While seemingly invasive, this routine is fairly well known, and the daily care or fixed metal braces is almost ingrained into most people’s minds due to this interaction. However, when it comes to wearing invisible aligners, there is a cut-off in this kind of information.

Our team at Clear Braces Direct works exclusively with, as you can guess, clear braces and aligners like Invisalign London. We know all there is to know about this orthodontic tool and can provide you with specific instructions on how to care for your aligners every single day to ensure that they achieve their final goal of straightening your teeth without hassle or interruption.

So, with that in mind, what are some of our tips for maintaining Invisalign London in daily life?

Daily wear

For Invisalign London to work, you will need to wear the aligners for around 22 hours a day or as instructed by our team. If you do not do this, then it is likely that your teeth will move slower, or they may actually revert to their former positions, making the entire endeavour a waste of time.

Be sure to keep an eye out for things such as loosening aligners, as this can indicate that it is time to move on to the next aligner in the series.

Cleaning

One good thing about invisible aligners is that they are removable, meaning that you can take them out to brush your teeth. However, you will also have to ensure that the aligners are kept clean in order to keep your dental health in top condition. This will involve rinsing them under a cold water tap to prevent food debris from being pressed against your teeth and gums once you wear the aligner.

Carrying

Once again, because the aligners are removable, it can be all too tempting to simply take them out when you are at work and stuff them into your pocket or bag. This can cause the aligner to warp out of shape or break, which would render it useless. So be sure to carry your aligners in the carry case provided when you receive them from our surgery.

Selfies

There are few people who don’t like taking selfies, but as part of your routine, you will need to take weekly selfies, showing yourself wearing the aligner so that our team can assess how well it is working. You can do this with the associated app, which is downloadable for smartphones. Provided that all goes well, you will simply get a “no further action required” message back from our team.

Issues

There can be issues whilst wearing invisible aligners that you’ll need to keep an eye out for. One problem is that the aligners are too tight or too loose when you wear them; this can mean there is an issue with the fitting. If you lose an aligner, do not simply skip on to the next one in the series but instead contact our team to have a replacement sent out to you.
