But\nfew dental surgeries specialise in the use of invisible aligners and that is\nwhere our team is different and can help clear up any worries you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we know all there\nis to know about clear aligners, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign London<\/a> and we can\noffer you advice on how to manage this aligner in your daily life to ensure you\nget the most out of wearing it. Great stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following guide, we break down some of our top care tips\non how to use and care for <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>, so\nyou can go about your day knowing exactly what is needed for you to get the\nstraighter smile you want using this aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carry the case!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you begin using <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>,\nyou will be sent a plastic carry case that takes the shape of the letter \u2018c\u2019.\nWe advise you to use this when you are not wearing your aligner as it is\ndesigned to keep the aligner at the right temperature and safe from any\nexternal damage. We do not advise simply tossing your aligner into your pocket\nor your bag, as this can cause it to warp out of shape and then require you to\ninvest in a replacement aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cold water only!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aligners themselves are made from clear plastic, which is\nboth malleable and hardy. But it is worth noting that these aligners are not\nIndestructible and when you are cleaning them, it is advised that you use cold\nwater only to remove debris. Do not use hot water or even slightly warm water,\nas this can cause the aligners to warp out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any stubborn debris on your aligners, we will\nadvise you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove it. Do not under any\ncircumstances apply a heavy-handed approach to cleaning your aligners as this\ncan cause irreparable damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cleaning crystals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can use cleaning crystals to keep your\naligners fresh and clear. Just be sure that the cleaning crystals you choose\nare suitable for use with aligners. You can even use denture cleaning products,\nas these are designed to not be harsh on the gums and will keep your aligners\nminty fresh. Just use them twice a day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the most out of your invisible aligners, you will need\nto keep them in your mouth for a minimum of 22 hours per day. And while this\nmay sound easy, our team advises you to time yourself to get an idea of how\nlong it takes you to eat, clean your teeth or engage in other activities that\nrequire you to remove the aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Replacing aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you lose or damage an aligner, you will need a replacement and our team at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> will be happy to send you one. But we advise that you do not move on to the next aligner in the series if you lose an aligner, as this can cause the misalignment to worsen, or for your teeth to move out of sync.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you begin using an invisible aligner to straighten your teeth, it can feel like a bit of an adjustment at first.
