This service involves the use of the downloadable Invisalign app, the taking of selfies and of course, an initial visit to our dental team. Overall it is more lifestyle friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you may have read online that getting <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong> is fraught with complications\nand doesn&#8217;t work as well as a traditional brace or aligner that is used in a\ndental surgery. Here, our team explores common myths surrounding at-home\naligners to help you see the truth about this ever-growing popular treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>nvisalign at home doesn\u2019t work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, Invisalign does work when it comes to\ngetting <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ease of use with the aligner makes it ideal\nfor patients to use in the comfort of their own home, with simple devices and\nminimal intervention from a dentist or orthodontist. It doesn&#8217;t require\ntightening, cleaning or adjusting and so, the instructions on how to use it\neffectively can simply be transferred to the patient using a smartphone app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the results speak for themselves! So yes,\nInvisalign does work when used correctly at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It takes longer without trips to the dentist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average treatment time for Invisalign, either\nused at home or in surgery, is between 3 to 6&nbsp;\nmonths for most patients and this does not alter, irrespective of the\nenvironment, if the aligner is used correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your time wearing the aligner may be slightly\nlonger, but this will always be due to the severity of the condition being\ntreated, and if you have concerns that your treatment is taking longer than\npredicted, please contact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You cannot correct any problems in the use of an at-home aligner!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can do something if you suspect an\nissue with your aligner at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply call our team directly or via the app to\nask for advice from a member of our team.
