<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd it is easy to see why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clear or invisible aligners are, as the name\nsuggests, visually discrete, allowing you to have orthodontic treatment without\ndrawing attention to your teeth. Not\nonly that, but it is also a good way to straighten your teeth in an accelerated\ntime frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, unfortunately, while this can seem like an\nideal solution for dental problems not everyone is suited to these aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team can\noffer one of the most popular of all invisible aligners; Invisalign London<\/a>! We have\nbeen working with this aligner for many years and know how it can bolster a\npatient’s confidence and get them the straight teeth that they deserve and want\nwith minimal fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But how do you know if you will be suitable for\nthis aligner? In this article, we will be focusing on suitability for Invisalign London<\/strong> and hopefully, you will be able to determine if this aligner is\nthe answer to your misalignment woes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adult teeth only!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While this is more common with young teenage\npatients, a key factor in using Invisalign London<\/strong> is\nthat you should not have any baby teeth in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is this important? Because the teeth are going to be moved and,\nif they are not going to stay in place for the duration of the treatment, this\ncan present an obvious problem when fitting the aligners and moving the\nsurrounding teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If our team spots that you have a baby tooth in\nyour mouth, we will aim to remove it and allow the adult tooth to erupt before\nbeginning any treatment with invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good oral health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another factor that we have to assess when\nlooking at your suitability for invisible aligners is your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As gum disease can cause teeth to become loose\nand fall out, if we detect that you are suffering from gum disease, our team\nneeds to treat this first. Similarly, if you have loose fillings, crowns or are\nsuffering from tooth decay, then we will need to ensure that these are all\nstable and treated before beginning orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Responsible!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisible aligners are removable and therefore,\nit can be tempting for patients to leave these aligners out of their mouths for\nlonger than they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each day, you should aim to wear your aligners\nfor a minimum of 22 hours or as directed by our team; failure to do so will result in either the\northodontic treatment stalling or your teeth reverting to their previous\npositions in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you feel you may struggle to keep your\naligners in each day, please alert our team and we will aim to seek out a more\nsuitable treatment for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mild to moderate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The technology surrounding invisible aligners has advanced greatly in recent years. However, these aligners are still more suited to patients who have mild to moderate misalignments with the teeth at the front of the mouth. If you have misalignments with your molars or one of your teeth requires twisting or is protruding, then we may suggest a different type of orthodontic tool for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In recent years, there has been an upsurge in teenage and adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment with clear or invisible aligners.
