<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd this is no small thing! In years gone by, the\nonly way for adult patients to straighten their teeth successfully was to use\nmetal braces, which could impact their daily lives, not to mention their\nlifestyle choices. But thanks to the creation and widespread use of invisible\naligners, more patients are getting the smiles that they have always wanted and\ndeserved, without needing to worry about fitted braces and the potential\ncomplications that can come with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we know more\nthan our fair share about invisible aligners, particularly Invisalign London<\/a>. This clear\nor invisible aligner is ideal if you have a mild to moderate misalignment and\nif you are on a mission to straighten your smile before an event such as a\nwedding or graduation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, as you read those online articles or\nnewspaper stories about Invisalign London<\/strong>, you may have had some\nquestions as to how these aligners are created, how they work and how they fit\ninto the daily lives of those who wear them. In the following guide, our team\nbreaks this down for you, so you can ascertain if they are the answer to your\nmisalignment woes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisible aligners; assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First things first; when you want to undertake\nany orthodontic treatment as an adult, you need to seek the advice of a dentist\ntrained with the aligner or an orthodontist. Our team at the practice has the\nexpertise needed to determine suitability for Invisalign London<\/strong>,\nso we are the team to approach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned earlier, this aligner is more\nsuitable for you if you have a mild to moderate case of misalignment with the\nteeth at the front of your mouth. This aligner cannot correct issues with\nmolars and may not be suitable for cases involving protruding teeth or teeth\nthat need to be rotated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If we determine that you are suitable for\ninvisible aligners, we will proceed to take a scan of your mouth using our\nintraoral scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The photographs taken using the intraoral scanner\nwill then be sent to a laboratory to create the aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each stage of the alignment treatment will be\nmapped out using computer software and each aligner required will be planned\nusing vector maps of where the pressure from each one needs to be applied to\nthe teeth. Using a 3D scanner, the aligners are then printed and shipped back\nto our surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For invisible aligners to work, you need to wear\nthem for a minimum of 22 hours per day, taking them out when you are eating\nfood or consuming hot beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must also aim to keep the aligners clean,\nrinsing them under a cold tap a minimum of twice a day and using a soft bristle\ntoothbrush to remove debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Retainers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your treatment is complete (usually in around 3 to 6 months), you will need to wear a retainer. This is an important and often overlooked stage of wearing any orthodontic device, as it prevents your teeth from reverting to their former positions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You may have read on the internet or in newspapers about the hype surrounding adult orthodontics, particularly the use of invisible aligners.
