Luckily, this is not the only option available\nfor adults who wish to straighten their teeth. A range of clear and invisible\nbraces are now able to achieve many of the effects of metal braces, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

without the hassle of the large brackets and\nwires. Depending on your unique clinical issues, you may be more suited to\neither a more targeted brace, like the Inman Aligner or you may be able to\nundertake treatment with the famous Invisalign brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, just to save some time, our team at Clear Braces Direct in London<\/strong> have answered some of the most\ncommonly asked questions from patients about Invisalign. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Invisalign treatment take longer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a word, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, realignments with clear or invisible\nbraces offer accelerated treatments for patients, with the average treatment\nbeing around 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, depending on your clinical situation,\nyou may have to wear the brace for a slightly longer period or even a shorter\none!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will it impact my speech?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Invisalign brace is thin by design, but when\nyou have your first retainer put on by our team at Clear Braces\nDirect in London<\/strong>,\nit will take some getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we advise that you try to speak more\nfrequently in the first few days of having the brace, so you can get used to\ntalking while they are in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to avoid certain foods while wearing the brace?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One key difference between Invisalign and\ntraditional braces is that you are free to eat as you were before, without\nhaving to avoid certain foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is advised that you invest in a small\ntoothbrush to carry with you; although you will remove your brace while you\neat, your teeth will need brushing before you put it back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How exactly does the brace work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is custom-fitted to your mouth and,\ndepending on the severity of the initial misalignment, you will have a variable\nnumber of aligners to straighten your teeth. Using gentle pressure, these\naligners will move your misaligned teeth into the desired position, without\ntightening or adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which conditions can it treat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign can treat excess spacing, crowding,\noverlapping and certain types of over, under and crossbites. It is also used to\ntreat misalignments of varying degrees, correct issues with symmetry and to\nstraighten teeth of uneven lengths. Brilliant!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
