And today, that hasn\u2019t changed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you come to <strong>Clear Braces\nDirect London<\/strong>, we will assess your suitability for Invisalign with a\nfree scan; this will enable us to see the inside of your mouth more clearly\nthan we would be able to with a dental mould. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we do this, we will need you to send\nus a selfie of your smile via our website. By looking at this, our team will be\nable to make a judgement as to whether or not you will be suited for\nInvisalign; if we deem you to be suited, we will invite you into one of our\ncentres for a scan. If not, we will recommend that you wear a different type of\nbrace to begin your dental realignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, if you have a mild to moderate\nmisalignment with your front teeth, and you don\u2019t need to have any of your\nmolars moved, then it is likely you will be suitable for Invisalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Daily wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, so once you have your Invisalign kit, you\nwill need to wear the aligners in a set succession for them to be effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each aligner (assuming there is no damage or\nloss), you will need to wear it for roughly 2 weeks. When it starts to feel\nloose, then it is time to move on to the next aligner in the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this point, you will probably know that\nInvisalign is removable and so, you may be curious as to how long each day you\nneed to leave it in for. Our team will usually advise that you keep the aligner\nin your mouth for 22 hours per day. Failure to adhere to this may result in\ndelays in the realignment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, on to the cleaning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Invisalign is not fixed to your teeth, it is\neasier to clean than a standard brace and does not require you to invest in\ninterdental brushes and other bits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To clean your Invisalign aligners, you have to\nfirst rinse them under a tap to remove any debris or food; make sure that the\nwater coming out of this tap is cool, as hot water can cause them to warp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove\nstubborn debris and, if necessary, you may want to invest in some Invisalign\ncleaning crystals to keep them clean and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check-ups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this aligner, the need for check-ups is\nreduced and you can send our team selfies via the Invisalign app so we can keep\ntabs on your progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we feel that the aligner is not working\ncorrectly, we will invite you into one of our centres for a check-up and\nassessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Retainers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you\u2019ve worn the aligner and now your smile is\nstraightened. Congratulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the time where we will send you a\nretainer, to help keep your teeth in place and to prevent reversion. Please\nwear it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want a straighter smile without the hassle of braces and dental appointments?
