Studies show that many people admit to not brushing their teeth before bedtime which can cause serious dental health issues. Bacteria and food particles linger within the mouth resulting in acid production which damages your teeth and gums. It is important that you brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss after meals and use a good mouthwash to rinse your mouth, so that it remains clean, free of bacteria and lingering food debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/healthy-gums.jpg\" alt=\"invisalign-london\" class=\"wp-image-1088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/healthy-gums.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/healthy-gums-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/healthy-gums-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately some people are more prone to dental health\nissues despite maintaining a good dental hygiene routine. These are often\npeople with crooked teeth. If you have crooked or wonky teeth you may find that\ndespite good brushing and flossing you suffer from some unpleasant symptoms.\nThis could be bad breath, sensitivity, bleeding gums or even toothache. This is\nbecause although you may take your time to brush and floss your teeth\ncarefully, bacteria and food particles become lodged within hard-to-reach areas\nwhich your brush or floss cannot clean. This happens if you have overcrowded\nteeth or overlapping teeth and can lead to more serious complications later on\nin life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teeth straightening with Invisalign<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to advances in dental technology it is easier than ever\nbefore to straighten your teeth. Visit our website at <strong>Clear\nBraces Direct<\/strong> and find out how you can carry out teeth straightening in the\ncomfort of your own home with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign\nLondon<\/a>. It is always important that you consult an orthodontist\nbefore beginning any form of teeth straightening. One of our dentists will\ncarry out a thorough dental assessment and make sure that your teeth and gums\nare strong and healthy and that it is fine to move your teeth. If the\northodontist is happy that <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> is\nsuitable for you, you will undergo a three-dimensional scan of your mouth which\nwill help put together a treatment plan for you. Digital technology allows our\northodontist to find out exactly what your teeth can look like with successful\ntreatment&nbsp; using <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>.\nFrom these images a series of Invisalign aligners are designed to push your\nteeth from their original positions into the predicted new positions. These\naligners are manufactured for you within a few weeks and can be delivered\nstraight to your door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you begin the treatment it is important that you adhere to the protocol. You need to wear the aligners for approximately 22 hours of the day. Each aligner needs to be worn for 10 to 14 days according to your prescription. They need to be taken out of your mouth when you eat or drink to prevent them from getting damaged and once you have finished eating or drinking it is important you clean your mouth thoroughly to prevent cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. If you adhere to the protocol then the treatment should take between six and twelve months. By straightening your teeth with Invisalign you will be able to take better care of your smile with significantly less chance of developing cavities, tooth decay and gum disease in the future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speak to us at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> today.
