<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd while the majority of adult and teenage\npatients who have a dental misalignment are suitable for invisible aligners,\nthere may be some instances in which it is not the right treatment option for\nyou. But don’t worry! There are now even clear braces which have thinner wires\nand tooth-coloured or clear brackets, so even if you need to have a fixed\nbrace, it doesn’t have to be as awkward as a traditional one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nwill happily guide you through the process of wearing the aligners and the\naftercare, to ensure that you get the straighter smile that you want and\ndeserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what are some of the signs that you may not\nbe suitable for treatment with Invisalign London<\/strong>? Our team at Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> discusses some of\nthem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a complex misalignment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be hard without orthodontic or dental\ntraining to know exactly what is meant by a mild, moderate or complex case of\ndental misalignment. In simple terms, you would be suitable for Invisalign London<\/strong> if your misalignment was located at the\nfront of your mouth and did not typically involve teeth with excessive overlap,\nspacing or misalignment. Complex cases of dental misalignment usually involve\nteeth being behind each other, being overly crowded or teeth that are\nprotruding, requiring rotating or if there are misalignments with the molar\nteeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You haven\u2019t had a check-up in a while<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dental health is important for any orthodontic or\neven cosmetic dental treatment and if you haven’t had a dental check-up in a\nwhile, then you may not be suitable to begin invisible aligners. This is\nbecause you may have untreated tooth decay or gum disease. Both of these are\ndetrimental to the orthodontic process and need to be under control before you\nbegin any kind of brace or aligner treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a lot of missing teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Misalignments can be due to teeth being extracted\nand while it is unfortunate, if you have lost a lot of your adult teeth due to\nextraction it is unlikely that you will be suitable for invisible aligners.\nThis is because this is a complex issue to resolve and would usually require a\nfitted metal brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You grind your teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Grinding your teeth is usually a sign that your\nmolar teeth do not line up correctly and as mentioned before, this is an\nindicator that you may need more extensive orthodontic work. However, if you\nhave straight molar teeth and you grind them, then you may not be suitable for\ninvisible aligners, because you need to wear the aligners at night and\nexcessive grinding can cause damage to the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You smoke<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Smoking is not good for your dental or general health and if you are looking to undertake treatment with invisible aligners, the majority of dental surgeries will not be overly eager to prescribe you any kind of orthodontic tool if you smoke. This is because smoking increases the risk of gum disease, tooth decay and other dental issues which can be exacerbated even more by orthodontic treatment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is seen by many as something that was once only dreamed about by many adults who had misaligned teeth; an aligner that is completely clear that moves your teeth.
