And when it comes to straightening your teeth with an invisible\naligner, there are a few things you can do to ensure that the treatment\nstraightens your teeth effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that said, as this is dental care, there are a few\nconditions and lifestyle choices that can negatively impact the success of\nthese aligners, and in this article, we are going to explore what some of these\nare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because at\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we want you to\nget the straighter smile that you deserve using Invisalign London<\/a>. Our team is\ndedicated to ensuring that this treatment works effectively and that we catch\nany potential issues that you may have early to avoid disruption. Great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are some of the dental issues and other complications\nthat can negatively impact Invisalign London<\/strong>?\nRead on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most insidious diseases known to the mouth is gum\ndisease or gingivitis; it causes your gums to become red, inflamed and bleed\nwhen they are touched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when you are using Invisalign London<\/strong>,\nyou will need to be aware of the signs of gum disease; if left untreated, it\ncan cause your gums to recede and your teeth to fall out. Not great when you\nare looking to straighten your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a similar vein as gum disease, smoking can create a wealth\nof issues when you are using invisible aligners. Firstly, if you leave the\naligners in when you smoke, they can become stained, so they will not remain\ninvisible for very long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking also increases the risk of oral cancer and has a hand\nin gum disease development too. So, if you want to keep using invisible\naligners and get a straighter smile, you may want to undertake smoking\ncessation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisible aligners are removable and as such, our team often\nhas to talk to patients about their lack of engagement with the aligner. In\nother words, many patients take the aligner out of their mouths, which, when\nyou need to wear the aligner for 22 hours per day to gain any benefits, can\nslow the orthodontic realignment or may even cause your teeth to revert to\ntheir former positions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, be sure to keep any invisible aligners in your mouth for as\nlong as specified by our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skipping aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you use Invisalign, you will usually receive between 12\nand 14 aligners in each set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the treatment to work effectively, each aligner needs\nto be worn for around 2 weeks and the aligners need to be worn in a set order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you feel that one aligner is not worth wearing because\nit physically resembles the other aligners, you should under no circumstances\nskip it. Doing so can cause your treatment to fall out of sync and can halt the\nmovement of your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, unless you get the green light from a member of our team to\nskip an aligner, don\u2019t!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
