While not a new idea, in the last few years\ninvisible aligners have boomed in dental surgeries and in popularity with adult\nand teenage patients alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we are proud to\nbe able to offer suitable patients <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign London<\/a>. One of the\nmost popular of all invisible aligners, this aligner offers discretion, faster\ntreatment and striking results. Great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before you contact us about this treatment,\nyou will probably have some questions that you would like answered. In the\nfollowing FAQs, our team answers the most common questions that we receive\nabout <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do invisible aligners work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional braces, <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>\nworks due to its unique and custom-fitted shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin treatment with this aligner, our\nteam will take a 3D scan of your teeth to get an accurate image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uploaded to a computer, these photographs will\nthen be used to plan your treatment with the invisible aligners. Each stage\nwill be mapped and predicted, allowing us to ascertain how many aligners will\nbe needed and the exact movements that your teeth will need to undertake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this is completed, the aligners will be\nprinted using a 3D printer. And each aligner will need to be worn for around 2\nweeks at a time to gradually move your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are they uncomfortable to wear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many patients who have worn braces in their\nchildhood or teenage years state that invisible aligners are more comfortable.\nThis is probably because invisible aligners do not require tightening or\nadjusting in the same way that braces do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is important to note that your aligners\nare designed to move your teeth and so, some pressure and discomfort should be\nexpected during the treatment. To manage this discomfort, we recommend taking\nover-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long will I need to wear them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duration of your treatment with invisible\naligners depends on the severity of the issue being corrected and how often you\nwear the aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, you will need to wear the aligners for\naround 22 hours per day, or as directed by our team. Failure to do so will\nresult in your teeth reverting to their former positions or can halt any\nmovement of the teeth altogether, which can cause delays to the realignment or\ncan create tracking issues with the next aligner in the sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, keep them in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will they be able to fix my overbite?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As suggested before, any aligner or brace may or\nmay not be suitable to correct a misalignment based on the severity of\ncondition presented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you have an extreme overbite, an invisible\naligner may not be suitable to correct it and you may need to have a fitted\nbrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are they expensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Clear\nBraces Direct<\/strong>, we may be able to offer you 0% financing options so you can\nspread the cost of your treatment with invisible aligners.
