FAQs about getting straight teeth at home with Invisalign

When it comes to getting straighter teeth in 2022, the options are seemingly limitless.

Even if you have a very extreme or complex misalignment, dental teams can now offer clear fitted braces or even lingual braces, both of which will discreetly move your teeth. However, if you are suitable for treatment with a clear aligner, you may even be able to straighten your teeth at home thanks to the advancements in aligners like Invisalign and the associated apps.

At Clear Braces Direct, we can help you get straight teeth at home London using Invisalign aligners. We have worked with hundreds of patients via the Invisalign app and can attest that this is a suitable option for people if they have mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment.

Of course, you will likely have some questions about the process, and in this article, we will answer some of the questions that you have about getting straight teeth at home London.

How does the process work?

Firstly, when you want to get straight teeth at home London, you will need to book an appointment to see our team. You can begin this process through our website by sending a photo of yourself smiling so that we can assess your suitability for the treatment. When you are called into the surgery, we will check your teeth for signs of tooth decay or gum disease and, of course, assess whether there are any more severe misalignments that may make you unsuitable. But if we deem it to be a process that is likely to be successful, we will use an intraoral scanner to scan the inside of your mouth, and this image will be sent to a dental laboratory. At the lab, your aligners will be printed and sent straight to your door with instructions.

What if there is an issue?

It is unlikely that there will be an issue with Invisalign when you are using it at home. However, if you are in excessive discomfort, if the aligners are not fitting correctly, or if you have any other issues, feel free to contact her team via the app or phone for more information and guidance.

Is it more expensive?

No, having Invisalign treatment at home is not more expensive than it would be if you were popping into the surgery to see us every few weeks. But if you have concerns about expenses, talk to our team about financing options.

How long will it take?

The process of straightening your teeth with Invisalign will take between 3 to 6 months on average, but this will vary depending on the severity of the misalignment being treated and whether or not you wear the aligner for the recommended 22 hours per day.

How often will I need to contact the surgery?

You will need to send a selfie to our team once a week, usually wearing cheek retractors so that we can see whether the alignment process is working. Apart from this, you should only really need to contact our surgery if there is an issue.
