<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBut due in part to the ongoing complications\nsurrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, more dental companies and clinics are eager\nto offer patients treatment with invisible aligners in their own homes where\npossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this\nis where our company has made a true name for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we can offer straight teeth at home London<\/a> using the world-famous aligner Invisalign. We will aim to keep as much of your treatment behind closed doors as possible, allowing you to get on with your life and of course, maintain government guidelines relating to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But how exactly does using Invisalign in the\ncomfort of your home work? Are straight teeth at home London<\/strong>\nless likely due to a lack of appointments with a dentist or orthodontist? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n First consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to get straight teeth at home\nLondon<\/strong>,\nthe first step will involve a visit to our surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During this visit, our team will use one of our\nhigh-tech intraoral scanners to take an image of your teeth. We will also\nassess suitability at this appointment, as Invisalign is better suited to\npeople who have mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If all goes well, we will send the images taken\nwith an intraoral scanner to a dental laboratory and your aligners will be\nprinted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aligners arrive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our team will aim to have your set of aligners\nsent directly to your door. And then the treatment begins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, there will be around 14 aligners in a\nset and they will need to be worn in the order given to ensure that your teeth\nmove correctly. It is common for the aligners to feel tight when they are first\nplaced in your mouth. This is because they are retaining the pressure needed to\nmove your teeth designed into their shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are finding it hard to place your aligners\ncorrectly, then please contact our team and we will aim to resolve the issue as\nsoon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In your daily life with your new aligners, you\nwill need to wear them for around 22 hours per day to get the most out of them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is advised that you remove the aligners to\nbrush your teeth and eat food, or to consume any drinks that are not cool\nwater. To keep your aligners clean, simply rinse them under a cool tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisalign comes with an app that allows you to\nsend weekly selfies to our team, so we can ascertain how your treatment is\nprogressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we determine that there is any problem, we\nwill send you instructions via the app or call you in for an assessment. If\nyour treatment is progressing nicely then we will give you a metaphorical\nthumbs up via the app too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Retaining results!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As is the way with all orthodontic procedures,\nonce your treatment with Invisalign is complete, you will need to wear a\nretainer for a set time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is typically done after the treatment has\nfinished and is designed to prevent your teeth from reverting to their former\npositions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There has been a lot of hype in recent years surrounding the use of clear aligners in the treatment of teenage and adult orthodontic issues.
