If you are looking to straighten your teeth using an invisible\naligner, then you may want to have a bit more insight into how the aligners are\ncrafted and created, and how you as a patient will need to use them to get the\nstraighter smile that you want and deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team has been\nusing Invisalign London<\/a> to\nstraighten our patients’ teeth for over 5 years now and knows all there is to\nknow about the creation, usage and daily wear of these nifty invisible\naligners. So, if you are looking for a team with expertise in the area of\ninvisible aligners, choose us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this short guide, you will be introduced to Invisalign London<\/strong> concerning how these aligners are created,\nhow they are worn and how your smartphone can help you to get the most out of\nthis treatment. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thing’s first, when you are considering undertaking Invisalign London<\/strong>, you will need to attend a consultation\nwith a member of our team. This is so we can ascertain if you are suitable or\nnot for invisible aligners, which will include assessing the condition of your\nteeth and taking a 3D scan of your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we deem that you are suitable, the scans will be sent to a\ndental laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scans that we collect at your initial consultation are\nuploaded to a computer and, using a kind of digital sped up orthodontic\nprocedure, your teeth will be moved. From this, we will be able to determine\nhow many aligners are required to make this computer simulation a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we are happy that the aligners can move your teeth to the\ndesired result, a 3D printer will create your aligners using a malleable but\nalso fairly firm clear plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process is incredibly quick, and your new aligners may\neither be sent to our surgery or direct to your door within 7 to 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important when you are wearing your aligners that you\nwear them in the correct order and that you wear them for 22 hours per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will ensure that the aligners have the required amount of\ntime to move your teeth and that each step of the realignment process is\naccomplished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your aligners clean, simply rinse them under a cold tap\ntwice a day, and if you have any questions, contact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selfies and appointments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular invisible aligner comes with an app, which you will need to use each week to send our team a photograph or a selfie of your smile, so we can assess if the treatment is progressing as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we detect a problem, we will likely send you instructions via the app or call you in for an appointment. It is important for the sake of your realignment that any appointments made with our team are kept. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
