The metal brace is one of\nthe most iconic pieces of dental equipment, recognised universally, but often\nnot for good reasons. There have been attempts from the start of orthodontics\nto try to make a more stylish or at least more discrete treatment option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional archwire\nbrace itself is actually part of that progression. Replacing full headgear\n(which was very inconvenient and challenging to sleep and wash in), this wire\npushed the standard brace forward leaps and bounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as technology has\nmarched on, so must orthodontics and with it comes innovations and new ways of\nmoving teeth. This is where our work at clear braces direct in London<\/strong> comes in! We provide the\nsupport required for you to get all the benefits of clear aligners at home\nwithout having to attend dental clinics or surgeries. With our consultations\nand check-ups conducted online and our aligners sent out to you in the mail, it\nis easier to fit us around a busy lifestyle! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how to do you straighten teeth from home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clear aligners are a\nvery personalised tooth shaped aligner, which carries out much of the functions\nof a traditional brace by pushing and coercing teeth into their new positions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clear aligners are only\nconsidered effective for minor to moderate dental misalignments. One of the\nfirst things we will explore with you upon booking an online consultation is if\nan aligner would be appropriate for you and what resources and overall\nexperience you should expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treatment time using\naligners varies from patient to patient, based on the complexity of the case\nand the time that you can spend wearing your aligner. Its is strongly\nrecommended that you wear aligners as often as you can, only removing them\nbriefly to eat and drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a similarity\nto the metal brace which cannot be removed. As such, the aligners will require\ncareful and thorough cleaning after eating to remove food from under the\narchwire and in between the anchor points. Aligners are much easier to clean\nbut as you wouldn’t wear them while eating, it is unlikely that there will be\nany damage caused by food build-up. Just be sure to brush your teeth after\neating and before placing the aligners back in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will people notice the aligners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably not; one of the biggest draws to clear braces directly in London <\/strong>is how easily they go unseen, even when talking. The thin yet tough polymers we use in constructing our clear aligners make them a pleasure to wear and will not disrupt your speech patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
