<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBut with the internet being the way it is, it is\nalso likely that you have stumbled across a few horror stories or myths that\nsurround orthodontic realignment, not only as an adult but using aligners\noverall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this can be more than a bit disconcerting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team has\nheard all of these myths before and can provide our patients with accurate\ninformation surrounding the aligners that we use in our clinic. We have been\nusing Invisalign London<\/a> to\nhelp patients get the smiles they want for over 5 years and have nearly 4000\ncases of dental realignment success under our belts. So, we know more than our\nfair share about aligners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what are some of the most common myths that\nexist online surrounding Invisalign London<\/strong>? Read on for our team’s top 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth 1- Invisible aligners don’t treat complex cases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially designed to realign teeth with a mild\nor moderate issue, as the technology surrounding Invisalign London<\/strong>\nhas advanced, this aligner has become better adapted to treating more complex\ncases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to have the go-ahead from our team,\nbut over 90% of people who approach us to undertake the aligner are indeed\nsuitable for it. But if we determine that your dental misalignment is too\nsevere, you will likely need to wear a fitted brace instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth 2- Older people can\u2019t use invisible aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our largest demographics of patients\nseeking dental realignment are patients who are over the age of 40 years old!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And as one of the requirements for starting\ntreatment with an invisible aligner is the presence of a complete set of adult\nteeth, this aligner is better designed for older people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As long as your mouth teeth and gums are healthy\nand you have an appropriate level of misalignment to correct, you should be\nable to use invisible aligners without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth 3- Invisible aligners are more expensive than braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many patients assume that because invisible\naligners are the new big thing, or are trendy, they will be more expensive than\ntraditional metal braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, this is not true, as the costs\nassociated with orthodontic treatment typically include the costs of the\northodontic appointments, adjustments, tightening and other procedures\nsurrounding the general movement of your teeth under the guidance of a dentist.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n But as invisible aligners do not require\ntightening or adjusting they are often more affordable than you may think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth 4- Invisible aligners take longer than braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As invisible aligners are designed to treat mild\nto moderate cases of dental misalignment, the average treatment time is 3 to 6\nmonths for most patients. When compared to the average treatment time for\nwearing traditional braces in adult years, which can be as long as 36 months,\nit is evident which treatment is faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth 5- Invisible aligners don\u2019t work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, invisible aligners work!\n\nOver 99% of all cases undertaken will successfully\nrealign the teeth and leave the patient with a better meshing, improved smile. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you are looking into undertaking dental realignment as an adult, you have likely searched online for as much information as you can gather before approaching your dentist about it.
