In the last few decades, there\nhas been something of a shift and now you can get the straighter teeth that you\nwant using invisible aligners. But how do you ensure that this method works for\nyou?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we specialise in\nthe use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign London<\/a>\nand will always be happy to provide you with tips and advice for your unique\nclinical case, along with the best way for you to get the straighter smile that\nyou want with the minimum amount of inconvenience during your daily life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, what are some of our standard tips for\npeople who are using <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> to\nensure that this aligner works? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep them in<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have read online that <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>\nis removable, and this is true. For this aligner to have the desired effect,\nyou will need to keep it in your mouth for a minimum of 22 hours per day. But\ndon&#8217;t worry! It is comfortable enough to wear to bed and should not get in the\nway of meetings or other events where you may be required to speak. Of course,\nyou will need to take your aligners out when you are eating food or drinking\nany beverages that are not water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep them clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is more for your dental health than the aligners\nthemselves. To ensure that their treatment goes off without a hitch, you need\nto keep the aligners clean. Ideally, you will need to rinse them under a cold\nwater tap as often as you can and if there is any food debris or plaque on the\naligners, brush it off with a toothbrush. This will prevent plaque and bacteria\nfrom being pressed against your teeth and gums which would lead to tooth decay\nor gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep in touch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As these aligners do not require tightening or adjusting, this\nwill mean fewer dental appointments will be required. But you should still keep\nin touch with our team through the associated app itself. It is advised that\nyou send us a photo once a week of your smile with the aligners in and without\nthem in, so we can assess whether the treatment is working as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep them safe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are given the aligners to wear, you will also be given\na carry case and when the aligners are not in your mouth, you should place them\nin this carry case. Do not simply toss them into a bag or pocket, as this can\ncause them to become damaged or even broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep the old ones!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard set of invisible aligners comes with around 12 to 14 aligners, and you should wear each of the aligners for around 2 weeks. When you have finished using an aligner, do not simply throw it away; instead, hold onto it. This is so if the new aligner you are wearing becomes damaged, you will be able to have a backup to wear whilst you get a replacement. This will ensure that your teeth do not revert and that the process goes on as planned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are an adult, anything that you want to invest in (whether spending time or money) needs to result in the best long-term outcome.
