We are always\nhappy to provide our patients with tips on how to manage the aligners at home\nand can advise you on ways to minimise discomfort and get the most out of the\naligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, our team discusses some of the\nmost frequent questions we receive from patients surrounding the issues that\ncan arise while wearing <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My aligners don\u2019t fit; what do I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is vital for successful realignment that <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> fits over your teeth correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is known as tracking, and a loose tracking\naligner is about as good as a chocolate teapot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If when you receive your aligners they feel\nloose, then it is worth contacting our team for advice and a potential\nremeasuring of your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My aligners look stained; how do I clean them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about invisible aligners\nis that they are easy to clean for many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to keep them in good condition, simply rinse\nthem under a cold tap twice a day and use a soft bristle toothbrush to remove\ndebris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also invest in cleaning tablets, just be\nsure that they are designed for aligners or dentures. Do not under any\ncircumstances use hot water to clean your aligners and do not use bleaches or\nmouthwashes as this can cause issues with staining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The aligners are hurting me; is this normal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is tough to determine if the pain you are\nexperiencing while wearing aligners is normal without seeing our team for an\nassessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are experiencing discomfort with a newer\naligner after you have put it in, then this is likely normal and should resolve\nin a few days. If your new aligners are constantly hurting you, then it is\nworth contacting our team for an assessment to determine the underlying cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My tongue is sore; what can I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the aligners are made from plastic and are 3D\nprinted, during the first few days of wear they will likely rub against your\ninner cheeks and your tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily the application of dental wax can ease\nthis discomfort, acting as a buffer between the soft tissues and the hard\nplastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I have a lisp because of the aligners; any advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiencing a lisp or other issues with speech\nis common when you first begin wearing any orthodontic tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team typically advises engaging in facial\nexercises, tongue exercises and even singing to help your speech patterns\nreturn to normal. For more information about these exercises, contact our team.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you undertook metal braces as a child or teenager but now require orthodontic treatment again as an adult, it is easy to assume that the use of invisible aligners will be a metaphorical walk in the park.
