Traditional braces work faster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to straight teeth at\nhome London<\/strong>, our team will offer an invisible aligner such as\nInvisalign as the first option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And many people believe that this aligner will\ntake longer than traditional braces to straighten their teeth. As an adult, you\ncan expect to wear your invisible aligner for 3 to 6 months, depending on the\nseverity of the orthodontic issue being corrected. A traditional brace,\nhowever, can take up to 3 years to straighten teeth. So aligners are clearly\nthe faster option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At-home aligners aren\u2019t safe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have concerns that at-home aligners\nsimply aren’t safe to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are too expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orthodontics in adult years can be pricey, but\nthe higher price is usually linked to the number of visits to the dental\nsurgery, the time of the orthodontist and the adjustments being made to the\nbrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With invisible aligners at home, your trips to\nour surgery are minimal, you do not need lots of visits to an orthodontist and\nthe aligner does not require adjusting. Therefore, the treatment may be more\naffordable than you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are uncomfortable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the way invisible aligners work, they do not require any tightening or tweaking and therefore, may be considered more comfortable for many patients, especially when compared to braces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while we cannot promise that they will be completely comfortable for you to wear, it is almost certain that they will be more comfortable in daily life than other traditional orthodontic tools. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
