Invisalign London – a modern approach to orthodontics

Much research and development has been carried out in the field of orthodontics over the last few decades. This has been accompanied by an increase in demand for cosmetic dental treatments and patients are looking for alternatives to conventional orthodontic treatment for teeth straightening. More and more people are looking to improve the aesthetic appearance of their smile, but show a strong reluctance towards using conventional orthodontics.

Although highly effective at teeth straightening, conventional orthodontic braces are highly visible in the mouth and draw further attention to the teeth. This seems to be the major concern amongst patients who are seeking orthodontic treatment. To overcome this issue, significant research has been carried out into materials and techniques which can help address the misalignment issues of your teeth discreetly and conveniently.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are proud to offer you Invisalign London to address the misalignment issues of your teeth, achieve a beautiful smile and boost your dental health at the same time.

Invisalign with a diamond provider

Since its development in the USA in 1997, Invisalign London has been established worldwide as an attractive alternative to fixed orthodontic braces. It has helped correct millions of smiles across the world. Here at our practice we have also helped treat many patients to create smiles that can be shown off to the rest of the world. We are a diamond provider of Invisalign London and you can rest assured that our dental team will be able to provide excellent dental care and fantastic customer service, so that you can enjoy Invisalign London from the comfort of your own home.

Invisalign uses CAD/CAM stereolithographic technology to show patients an accurate prediction of how their teeth and smile will look following successful treatment with Invisalign. This technology is also used in the manufacture of a series of individually tailored aligners using specialised three-dimensional scanning techniques.

Over the last two decades continuous research has been carried out on Invisalign aligners and the system is being improved and enhanced all the time. Since its introduction there have been many changes including different materials and attachments. There are also two different treatment plans, Invisalign Comprehensive and Invisalign Lite which are then individually tailored depending on your dental requirements and the extent of misalignment that you begin with.

Speak to us today to find out more about Invisalign and how it can help address the aesthetic issues of your teeth. If you are suffering from crooked, wonky, protruding, overlapping or crowded teeth, or you have minor gaps in your teeth, then you need to speak to us to see what Invisalign treatment could do for you. We offer our patients a free consultation and a smile assessment. All you have to do is send us a couple of selfies of your smile and your teeth and we will invite you for an appointment at a time and location of your choice, to help you decide if Invisalign is the right option to provide treatment for you.

Straight teeth at home; myths about aligners

If you have had enough of owning misaligned teeth, it is likely that you have been on the internet searching for ways to straighten them quickly and efficiently. And thanks to the recent upsurge in dental patients seeking aligners that they can use at home, you have probably encountered one or two articles or even videos surrounding this area of dental care.

myths-about-aligners

And as is the way with the internet, it is also likely that you have come across one or two myths or mistruths about the use of at-home aligners.

At Clear Braces Direct, we believe that if you can get straight teeth at home London then this should be a priority. Hence you can maintain your lifestyle, spend less money and enjoy all of the perks that come with straightening your teeth at home as opposed to having to attend dental clinics every few weeks. Brilliant!

So if you are seeking to get straight teeth at home London using an aligner, what are some of the myths or mistruths that you should ignore? Below are some of the most common ones that our team have heard and wish to debunk.

Traditional braces work faster

When it comes to straight teeth at home London, our team will offer an invisible aligner such as Invisalign as the first option.

And many people believe that this aligner will take longer than traditional braces to straighten their teeth. As an adult, you can expect to wear your invisible aligner for 3 to 6 months, depending on the severity of the orthodontic issue being corrected. A traditional brace, however, can take up to 3 years to straighten teeth. So aligners are clearly the faster option.

At-home aligners aren’t safe

You may have concerns that at-home aligners simply aren’t safe to use.

But rest assured, when you come to Clear Braces Direct our team will always be on hand to support you with the use of your aligners, to answer any questions you may have about the aligners and to oversee the treatment from a distance.

So, no, clear aligners used at home are completely safe overseen by us and if you have concerns simply give us a call!

They are too expensive

Orthodontics in adult years can be pricey, but the higher price is usually linked to the number of visits to the dental surgery, the time of the orthodontist and the adjustments being made to the brace.

With invisible aligners at home, your trips to our surgery are minimal, you do not need lots of visits to an orthodontist and the aligner does not require adjusting. Therefore, the treatment may be more affordable than you think!

They are uncomfortable

Due to the way invisible aligners work, they do not require any tightening or tweaking and therefore, may be considered more comfortable for many patients, especially when compared to braces.

So, while we cannot promise that they will be completely comfortable for you to wear, it is almost certain that they will be more comfortable in daily life than other traditional orthodontic tools.

Discretion, comfort and convenience with Invisalign London

Significant misalignment issues

If you are seeking to correct your smile quickly and conveniently then Invisalign is exactly what you are looking for. If you have significant misalignment issues with your teeth then the treatment process may take approximately 12 months or more to correct them. If this is the case, Invisalign Comprehensive would be the most suitable choice of treatment for you. The number of aligners that are needed varies from patient to patient and it will depend on the extent of misalignment that you begin with and how much movement is necessary to achieve an optimal smile for you. We are able to offer you excellent payment plans which can be discussed if necessary when you decide whether or not you would like to go ahead with the treatment. Included in the price is your initial consultation, a smile assessment, specialised three-dimensional scanning, incisal contouring, the Invisalign aligners themselves and access to our dental monitoring app. You will upload images of the progress of the treatment directly onto our monitoring app and we will give you feedback in this way too. This helps reduce the number of visits you have to make to the dentist, and helps you focus your time and efforts on other aspects of your life.

Minor misalignment issues

If you have minor misalignment issues or you have undergone orthodontic treatment earlier in life and are looking to perfect your smile once more, then you may need significantly less time to achieve the smile that you are looking for and this will all be decided at the very beginning when we put together a treatment plan for you. In this case, Invisalign Lite may be the best treatment option for you. Invisalign Lite uses 14 aligners to help straighten your teeth or achieve an optimal smile. This includes the same package as Invisalign Comprehensive, however in this way you are able to achieve the smile of your dreams quickly and conveniently to help promote better oral health very soon.

Get the freedom to discreetly align your smile with Clear Braces Direct in London

Clearly a smart decision

clear-braces-direct-lonodn

Here at Clear Braces Direct London, we want everyone out there to know about their orthodontic options and the fact that we can offer them an opportunity to quickly and effectively align their smiles – without the need for them to make numerous and lengthy trips to our practice. We understand that life is hectic, and with the unprecedented nature of the past year being the perfect example – you never know what is around the corner.

This is why we have decided to take the Invisalign retainer system, which is one of the world’s most popular forms of cosmetic orthodontics, and streamline it to the point where almost every stage in the process can be carried out from the comfort of your home and at a pace which suits you.

What is treatment at Clear Braces Direct London like?

When a patient chooses our highly respected orthodontic practice here at Clear Braces Direct London for their dental journey, one of the main reasons they have for doing so is the freedom and flexibility which our approach offers them.

Rather than committing to several repeat visits to the dentist’s chair to monitor the success of your treatment, we only require our patients to make one initial visit to our practice, to have their Invisalign retainer created using digitised cutting-edge equipment which negates the need for any physical moulds to be taken. This also enables us to give a virtual rendering of the path your teeth will take step by step to being aligned and the results you can expect from your treatment.

After this, patients can then return home and can have their unique retainers sent out in the post, meaning they are free to carry out the teeth-straightening process at home. We offer the initial consultation to anyone who is interested in Invisalign free of charge, and utilise 3D dental scanners amongst other equipment such as the Invisalign Clincheck to display to patients exactly how their teeth will move whilst undergoing Invisalign and what their smile will look like when treatment is complete.

Following the initial consultation that explains the Invisalign process, our practitioners can then carry out scans in order to get the sizes and proportions needed to craft your bespoke retainer sets. Once scanned,  we will then email you the results for your approval alongside a payment link. After we have received confirmation we can post you out your unique Invisalign retainers, or arrange for you to come back to our practice for a fitting.

What happens once I’ve got my aligners?

The beauty of the Invisalign process is that, once your retainer has been made, there is very little else which needs to be done in terms of monitoring. However, in order to make sure that everything is on track we have created our very own mobile app which is available on all leading Android and Apple smartphone devices.

This system, named the Clear Braces Direct Monitoring App, lets you instantly communicate with one of our certified Invisalign experts through its chat function – which lets you get instant feedback from a professional, without having to schedule yourself in for a check-up needlessly.

The disadvantages of misaligned teeth

Misaligned teeth which are crooked, wonky, overlapping or protruding are more prone to dental issues and damage. They are more difficult to clean as there are plenty of hard-to-reach areas in which bacteria may be hiding despite good brushing techniques. When bacteria remains in the mouth it causes many dental issues. You may have excessive build-up of plaque and the formation of tartar, and this can result in cavities and tooth decay. Over time, if you do not visit the dentist then you may have irreversible damage done to your teeth and eventually this can result in tooth loss.

Advantages of neatly aligned teeth

Here at our practice we can offer Invisalign clear braces to help improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth and promote better oral health at the same time. It is much easier to maintain good dental hygiene when your teeth are neatly aligned. Your toothbrush is able to reach all the surfaces of your teeth, whilst floss is able to clean in between the gaps of your teeth, therefore, there is less chance of bacteria being able to linger in the mouth. Your mouth will remain fresh, clean and healthy and with regular visits to the dentist you can keep your teeth free of disease for longer and hopefully for the rest of your life.

An individually tailored treatment plan for you

If you have good dental health, but you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth then take a selfie and upload it to our website. Leave your details so that we can contact you and book an appointment to help you find out more about Invisalign and how it can help improve your smile. We will carry out an assessment of your teeth to make sure that this is the correct choice of treatment for you. We will also carry out a specialised three-dimensional scan which will be used to create a digital image of how your teeth will look following successful treatment with Invisalign.

We will then use these scan results to put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you and you will either undergo the Invisalign Comprehensive treatment or the Invisalign Lite treatment depending on your dental requirements. Contact us today to find out more.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a treatment for mild to moderate alignment issues. It uses sets of clear plastic trays which are changed between on a weekly to fortnightly basis to straighten the teeth. The aligners are made bespoke to fit your mouth using iTero technology. This is the scan which we will perform for free and from which we will generate a 3D animation of how your teeth will look after treatment, before we even get started!

Why should I choose Invisalign?

There are so many reasons why patients love Invisalign! The first reason is the confidence they give patients, when they are being worn. They are almost invisible as they are see-through and only your teeth should be on show. Once your teeth are realigned, you should also feel happier about smiling and it could improve your self-esteem.

Another benefit of choosing Invisalign is the fact that you can remove the aligners for up to 2 hours a day. This means that you can remove them when you want to attend a special event like a wedding or a job interview, or simply when you want to relax in front of the T.V. – the choice is yours! Moreover, by being able to remove your aligners, you can eat and drink without them in, so you won’t need to change your diet – continue chomping on an apple a day! You will also be able to brush and floss as normal, without having to contend with wires and brackets as you do. The aligners should also be a lot more difficult to break than fixed braces, because the plastic is a robust material, which means that you will have less chance of needing an emergency appointment and taking more time out of your busy schedule.

Why choose us?

Here at our practice, we believe that price transparency is key to helping our patients make informed decisions and to feel comfortable about what they are doing. With the accuracy of the scans that we take, we will be able to give you an Invisalign cost London for your treatment that is also accurate, so that you can budget for the treatment with all the prices in place and no surprises in store.

To find out more about how we can help, why not book in for the free initial consultation, where you can ask as many questions as you need to and we can examine your mouth thoroughly, so we know what we are working with? At Clear Braces Direct, we look forward to helping you smile about the results of your treatment and the Invisalign cost London of it.

Advantages of getting straight teeth at home

If you are one of the many adults who are not happy with the appearance of their smile, you have probably searched online for a solution. And thanks, in part, to the recent global pandemic, it is likely that you have come across adverts for at-home aligners or braces.

straight-teeth-at-home

And you may have thought that the entire thing sounds too good to be true.

In years gone by, the only way to straighten your teeth as an adult typically involved lengthy trips to your dentist and very obvious braces.

But this is no longer the case and you may be wondering what the catch is.

At Clear Braces Direct we believe that achieving straight teeth at home London should be offered to all patients when possible and seek to offer patients at-home aligners to create a more lifestyle-friendly alternative to traditional braces, while being physically discreet and practical too.

But what are some of the key advantages that accompany getting straight teeth at home London using an invisible aligner like Invisalign? Read on to find out.

Convenience

The most obvious advantage of getting straight teeth at home London is the convenience. The aligners that are sent to you from our team are easy to use, do not require tightening or adjusting and come with an app for your smartphone if you have any questions.

Therefore, trips to our team are minimised, allowing you to get on with your life incurring little interruption.

Lifestyle friendly

When most people think of braces in adult years or even teenager years, they picture having to give up their favourite foods or having to brush aligners or braces extensively to keep them clean.

The clear aligners that we offer do not require such excessive care and you simply take them out to enjoy your favourite foods and drinks, making them more lifestyle friendly. Their visual discretion also makes them suitable for people who have jobs where they are required to talk and do not want their speech altered.

More affordable

Concerning costs, many patients worry that treatment with invisible aligners will be more expensive than treatment with traditional braces.

But costs associated with orthodontic care are usually higher for people who have extensive orthodontic issues. In short, if you require more appointments with your dentist or orthodontist to have your teeth straightened, then this is added to the overall cost of the treatment and can drive the price up.

But with at-home aligners, your trips to the surgery are minimised, thus keeping the price down.

Safer

In recent times, it has been important for health and safety to keep your distance relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. And this is one of the factors behind why at-home aligners are becoming more popular. They allow you to straighten your teeth whilst also keeping you safe and away from environments where you could potentially pick up the virus, and allow you to keep your distance from other people too.

Faster

And finally, a key advantage of at-home aligners is that they are fast. The average treatment time for invisible aligners is typically between 3 to 6 months depending on the severity of the issue being treated.

Invisalign in London versus conventional orthodontic treatment

Invisalign London is a highly popular, discreet and successful method of teeth straightening, so if you are thinking about improving the appearance of your smile then speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more. Here at our practice we want to make your journey with Invisalign London as convenient for you as possible. Not only is the treatment itself highly convenient and popular amongst the generation of today, but we offer digital communication which helps reduce the number of visits that you need to make to the dentist. This means that you can enjoy Invisalign London from the comfort of your own home and achieve a neatly aligned, beautiful smile very easily.

invisalign-london

In the last two decades Invisalign London has established itself firmly in the field of cosmetic dentistry as one of the most successful procedures for teeth straightening. It is a highly attractive alternative to conventional orthodontic treatment which is still the most effective method of teeth straightening, but comes with a few setbacks too. Conventional orthodontic treatment is carried out using fixed dental braces which are attached to the surfaces of your teeth and are highly visible in the mouth. They are avoided by the majority of adults and even the teenagers of today are looking for more discreet treatment options. Many people feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about metal dental braces and do not like to draw further attention to their mouth when their teeth may already be affecting the way they feel about their appearance.

Advantages of Invisalign

With Invisalign you are able to achieve a beautiful smile at your discretion without anyone having to know that you are undergoing dental treatment unless you want them to. Invisalign works using clear thermoplastic aligners which, as the name suggests, are almost invisible in your mouth. The aligners are not attached to your teeth, they are removable and can be taken out and replaced as necessary. They do not have any impact on your lifestyle or eating habits as they need to be removed at mealtimes anyway.

Each aligner needs to be worn for approximately two weeks at a time and kept in the mouth for around 22 hours of the day. This will vary slightly from patient to patient, but this is the way they generally work. They are very easy to clean and you remove the aligners to brush your teeth, therefore, you are able to maintain a good dental hygiene routine whilst undergoing treatment with Invisalign. With traditional orthodontic braces the brackets and wires prevent your brush from reaching all the surfaces of your teeth and can affect your dental hygiene routine, but with Invisalign this is something you do not have to worry about.

The number of aligners that you will need to achieve the smile that you are looking for will depend on how crooked or wonky your teeth are to begin with. Average treatment times are approximately 6 to 12 months. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more about Invisalign and let us put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Uncover the easiest way to correct crooked teeth with clear braces in London

What are the benefits of clear braces with us?

clear-braces-direct-london

The world of orthodontics is one that has made significant advances over recent years – both in terms of how treatments achieve straighter smiles and the impact that they have on how patients look. Here at Clear Braces Direct London, we’ve taken the next massive leap in orthodontics and have brought clear braces into the 21st century by streamlining and digitalising the entire process, so results can be monitored easily on a mobile app and patients can see fully rendered and realistic digital image of what their smile will look like after they’ve finished their treatments.

What does the process of getting clear braces involve?

Here at Clear Braces Direct London, we recognise the increasing unpredictability and hectic nature of our modern lives and know that it is often difficult to commit to regular orthodontic visits. As such, we’ve made every part of the clear braces process – which uses Invisalign dental aligners – entirely digital and remote, besides the initial 3D scan which is carried out within our practice free of charge.

By offering adults and patients of all ages the ability to arrange and carry out Invisalign treatment without the need to commit to regular orthodontic visits we’ve made it possible for countless busy patients to quickly and discreetly align their smiles and improve their oral health from home.

The first stage, for anyone who is interested in aligning their smile conveniently from home through us here at Clear Braces Direct London, is to arrange for a free-of-charge scan by uploading your selfies for us to evaluate and arranging a time that suits you.

This free consultation, which is carried out at our practices in either London or Newcastle, involves the use of cutting-edge 3D scanners which can produce accurate renderings of your tooth shape and structure – without the need for any moulds to be taken.

This rendering lets you see exactly how your teeth will shift throughout your Invisalign treatment, as well as the timeframe in which this will happen. We can also provide you with an exact quote at this point to allow for complete transparency in terms of cost.

You can also see an accurate visualisation of what your smile will look like after you’ve completed treatment, and we will send you a detailed video that explains the entire Invisalign process and what you can expect.

What happens after the consultation?

Should you be persuaded to carry out Invisalign treatment with us after your free, non-committal consultation we will then send you out the results of your Invisalign scan for you to review. Provided that you approve of what you see we will then send you out a payment link for the treatments alongside an online consent form. After these have been filled out we will send you your custom-made Invisalign aligner, or should you wish, arrange for you to have them fitted within our practice.

After this, you can then carry out the Invisalign treatment at home, and monitor the progress of your treatment in live time through our Clear Braces Monitoring App which allows you to communicate with us easily and negates the need for any further in-house appointments.
