Our expertise revolves around invisible aligners and we can advise you on each step of the treatment and your suitability without any obligation from you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you may have some questions about how you will get <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong> and about the Invisalign\nprocess overall. Here, our team offers you answers to some of the most common\nquestions that we are asked in our surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need to take a mould of my teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a word no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong>,\nyou do not need to take a mould of your teeth and one will not be sent to you\nwhen you come to <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>\nfor this treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will instead invite you to one of our surgeries and our team\nwill use an intraoral scanner to take a scan of your teeth to begin treatment.\nThis procedure is non-invasive and only takes a few seconds and the images that\nwe obtain will be uploaded to our computer for future reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will the aligners be sent to my door?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, we will aim to send the aligners to your door, unless\nwe have some concerns that there may be an issue with suitability. In this\ninstance, we may need to call you into the surgery so we can assess how well\nthe aligners fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But generally speaking, once we have had your teeth scanned,\nthere may be a waiting period of up to 4 weeks for the aligners to arrive at\nyour door. This may vary depending on government guidelines and restrictions\nthat may be in place at the dental laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do I do if I need help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign treatment comes along with an app for your\nsmartphone, so if you need help you can contact our team via the app or you can\nsimply call us at the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app also features an FAQ section which, hopefully, will\nhave all the information you need about the aligner. But if you are not sure,\njust give us a call and we will do our best to help you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will I need to visit the surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless we determine that you need to visit us through the use\nof the app and the weekly selfies that you send to us, your only trip to the\nsurgery will be required at the beginning of your treatment. And potentially\nonce again at the end to have you fitted for a retainer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to the use of apps on smartphones and 3D printers, it is now possible for you to get the straighter smile you want in the comfort of your own home.
