The aligners need to be worn in your mouth for approximately 22 hours a day for two weeks at a time and then they are replaced with the next aligner in the series. During this time the aligner should move your teeth by approximately 0.2 to 0.25 millimetres. As you work your way through the series the aligners will gradually straighten your teeth and help you achieve a neatly aligned smile that is not only pleasant and attractive, but also helps you enjoy better dental health. <\/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\/05\/teeth-straightening-at-home.png\" alt=\"teeth-straightening-at-home\" class=\"wp-image-1196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/teeth-straightening-at-home.png 325w, https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/teeth-straightening-at-home-200x134.png 200w, https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/teeth-straightening-at-home-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> works differently to\ntraditional braces. The aligners will only apply a certain amount of force to\nthe teeth and then they will stop working, after which you need to replace the\naligner. This means that it is very important that you are responsible and wear\nthe aligners as instructed for the time recommended and that you replace the\naligners at the prescribed time and not earlier or later. The replacement\nprocess itself is very easy, although it can take a few hours to become\naccustomed to the new aligner. With traditional braces the components do not\nneed to be changed, rather they are tightened at regular intervals to continue\nto apply pressure to your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advantages of these invisible aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign is very popular because the aligners are almost\ninvisible in your mouth in comparison to traditional braces that are very\nprominent and usually draw attention to your teeth. Most people assume that\nInvisalign is for the older demographic who are looking for discreet teeth\nstraightening, however, teenagers are excellent candidates if looking for a\nteeth straightening option that does not draw unwanted stares to the mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aligners are very convenient and allow you to practise correct dental hygiene as you remove the aligners when you brush your teeth. They also need to be taken out at meal times so that they do not become damaged and this helps you to enjoy all your favourite food and drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> we understand that you may have a busy, hectic lifestyle and do not want to spend hours at the dental practice. You will visit us for the initial consultation. If you wish to go ahead with Invisalign then we will order your aligners and book you in for an initial fitting. After this you can continue with the treatment in the comfort of your own home, updating us on your progress using our <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> monitoring app. When the process is complete you need to be fitted for an Invisalign retainer. The Invisalign retainer will be very similar in shape to your last aligner although it is made of a more sturdy and thicker plastic to hold the teeth in place so that they do not relapse. We are also pleased to be able to offer you complementary teeth whitening to complete your smile makeover. Speak to us at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> today and begin your journey to a beautiful new smile today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Invisalign London is a modern method of teeth straightening suitable for patients of all ages with different types of orthodontic needs.
