However, in recent years as technologies have\nadvanced, more and more people have been given the green light to use a less\ninvasive treatment known as an invisible aligner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou come to Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our\nteam will be able to advise you on your suitability for clear aligners,\nespecially Invisalign London<\/a>\nas this is our speciality, alongside home-based treatment options, which has\nbeen more beneficial than ever to many people in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this short guide, you will be walked through\nwhat Invisalign London<\/strong> is, what it can treat and\nwhen you may not be suitable for treatment with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What invisible aligners do<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By now, you should have an idea of what an\ninvisible aligner looks like visually; think of a sports guard made from clear\nplastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign London<\/strong> is made to fit over your teeth snuggly and, using a set of between 12\nand 14 aligners, your teeth will gently be pushed into alignment to correct any\nissues that you may have in this area. Typically, treatment with an aligner\nlasts between 3 to 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they can treat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the technology surrounding invisible aligners\nhas advanced, it has been possible for our team to treat more issues using this\nmethod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bite issues- if you have an overbite, an\nunderbite or a crossbite, then you may be suitable to use an invisible aligner\nassuming that it is not deemed to be a severe bite issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protrusions- protruding teeth are common and if\nyou have one tooth that is poking out at an unusual angle, our team may be able\nto correct this using invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowding- are your teeth overcrowded and pushing\nagainst each other? If they are located at the front, then our team may be able\nto use invisible aligners to alleviate this issue and get your teeth\nstraightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spacing- large gaps in between your teeth can\ncause issues with confidence and can be resolved using an aligner if they are\nnot too excessive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they cannot treat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, as you may have gathered by now,\nthe word mild and moderate keeps appearing and when it comes to using invisible\naligners, there are a few conditions that they can treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaw alignment issues: if your upper and lower\njaws do not sit together correctly, creating an issue with an extreme over or\nunderbite, then this cannot be corrected using an invisible aligner and will\nrequire something akin to a fitted brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molar misalignment: if your molars on the upper and lower jaw do not fit together when you close your mouth, this cannot be corrected with an invisible aligner and will likely need a fitted brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme misalignments: if you have a more complex set of misalignments, which may include a pick and mix of an overbite issue, crowding or spacing, then it is unlikely that you will be suitable for invisible aligners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
