This will not only ensure that they work, but that your teeth and\ngums remain healthy as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we have the\nexpertise needed to help you get a straighter smile using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign London<\/a>. We have\nhelped many patients straighten their smiles using this aligner and if you are\nsuitable, we would be more than happy to help you too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are some of our team&#8217;s tips when it\ncomes to the daily wear of <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>?&nbsp; Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time your wearing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> is a removable aligner. This means that\nyou can take it out to brush your teeth, eat food or attend dental checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you will need to keep the aligner in your\nmouth for a minimum of 22 hours per day unless otherwise directed by our team.\nIf you do not keep the aligner in your mouth, it is likely that your realigning\nprocedure will stall or your teeth will revert to their previous positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep them clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you may know, invisible aligners are made from\nclear plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as they are removable, they are easier to\nclean than other orthodontic devices. In order to ensure that they stay clean,\nyou will need to clean them a minimum of twice a day. Simply rinse them under a\ncold tap and use a toothbrush to remove any stubborn debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not use hot water to clean your aligners as\nthis can cause them to warp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep them safe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When out and about, it is easy to simply throw\nyour aligners into a bag or your coat pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the plastic that they are made from is\ndurable, this is generally unwise. Because, much like the hot water being\napplied to the aligners, frequent mistreatment of them can cause them to become\ndamaged, warped or torn, which will then require you to contact our team to\nhave a new set sent out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep appointments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we will aim to keep as much of your\northodontic care in the realms of your own home, when you are required to visit\nour team for a check-up or you need to send us a selfie (so we can assess how\nyour treatment is progressing), please keep these appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only do they allow us to see if your teeth\nare realigning correctly with the use of the aligner but they allow us to spot\nif you are suffering from the signs of dental decay or gum disease, which can\nbe detrimental to the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invest in pain relief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, although the aligners are generally more comfortable to wear in daily life than other orthodontic tools, you will need to invest in pain relief. This will be more prevalent in the days following an aligner change, where the aligner will feel tight against your teeth as it attempts to move them into the desired position.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you begin treatment with an invisible aligner, it is indeed an exciting time.&nbsp; Not only will your teeth become straighter without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment but you will likely save on time and money that is often associated with undertaking a brace or aligner in adult life.
