<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nUnlike regular braces that require you to attend\nyour dentist every 6-8 weeks to have them tightened, aligners do not require\nsuch intervention, and each stage of moving the teeth can be done at home\nsimply by changing between aligners after 14 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, there is another feature of using invisible\naligners that some patients may struggle with, especially if they are not\ntech-savvy; the accompanying app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we are proud to\nbe able to offer our patients Invisalign\nLondon<\/a> and want to make sure that you will get the most out of this aligner\nas possible. And in doing so, we are also happy to talk to our patients about\nthe app that helps us to track their progress with this aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, we provide a guide to using the app that\naccompanies Invisalign London<\/strong>, highlighting some of\nits key features. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download and set up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As is the way with most things app related, you\nwill need to download this app for your smartphone from the app store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To set it up, you will need to create a patient\naccount; the app will send a link to the email address you enter to invite you\nto complete setting up your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your account will feature information, such as\nhow many aligners are in your set, which aligner you are taking, days of wear,\nand the next change date that is scheduled, and you can even set up alarms and\nnotifications to remind you to change the aligner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reminders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When using Invisalign London<\/strong>,\nyou will need to send our team weekly selfies of your smile, so we can assess\nif the treatment is working as predicted or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, when you receive the aligners, you\nwill also receive a cheek retractor, which you will need to place in your mouth\nwhen you take your selfie; not very flattering, but it is diagnostic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app features a guide on how best to take\nthese photos and even a video showing you how to place the cheek retractor\ncorrectly, so no time is wasted with awkward photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When we receive your photo, you will receive\ninformation known as \u2018feedback.\u2019 There are 2 types of feedback; on track or\ninstructions. As the name suggests, being on track means everything looks good\nand to keep up with the routine, whereas instructions mean you will need\nadditional guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you receive instructions via the app, it means\nwe have seen a potential issue in your photographs and need you to take some\nadditional steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These can be switching aligners, wearing them for\nlonger each day, or we may invite you for a virtual appointment. If we have\nconcerns about secondary issues such as gum irritation, gum disease or tooth\ndecay, you will require an appointment to correct these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Appointments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, invisible aligners are primarily an at-home treatment, but if our team calls you into the surgery for an appointment, please attend it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n We may need to change the stage of the aligner treatment, or if the misalignment is worsening, we may need to change the tool altogether. So, please keep your appointment with us! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, you\u2019ve been given the green light to start treatment with invisible aligners and are excited to get going.
