Read on to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It takes too long to straighten teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> is exceptionally\nquick at straightening teeth. Consider that when you have a fitted metal brace\nthis can take up to 3 years to straighten your teeth, whereas invisible\naligners take between 3 to 7 months on average, depending on how severe the\nmisalignment you are having treated is. Thus, it saves a lot of time and can be\nundertaken in preparation for an important event like a wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>They are not as beneficial as braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a complex misalignment, then no, invisible aligners\nare not going to be as efficacious at correcting it as traditional braces would\nbe. However, if our team deems that you are suitable to use invisible aligners\ndue to a mild or moderate case of dental misalignment, then it is likely that\nyou will receive the full benefit from using this tool and will get the\nstraighter smile that you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can\u2019t use aligners if you have an overbite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most things in orthodontic care, there are varying levels\nof condition and if you have a very extreme overbite or one that involves\nprotrusions or issues with the molar teeth, then it&#8217;s highly unlikely that our\nteam would recommend that you use invisible aligners. But if you only have a\nmild overbite, underbite or crossbite, then you may be suitable to use this\ninvisible aligner and should contact our team for an assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s very uncomfortable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to traditional braces which require tightening and\nstraightening, invisible aligners are not considered by many to be\nuncomfortable. This is because they gently push your teeth into the required\nlocation rather than pulling them, thus making the process more gradual and\nmore comfortable overall. If you feel that you are noticing excessive levels of\ndiscomfort whilst using invisible aligners, feel free to contact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can get the same results with at-home aligner kits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No you can&#8217;t, as an at-home aligner kit will usually require you to take a mould of your teeth yourself, which increases the rate of error. If you want to have your teeth straightened using aligners, you should always seek the advice of a trained team like ours at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are looking to begin any kind of treatment, you will probably go to the internet and skim through articles and even go onto message boards and forums to see if this treatment is right for you.
