Particularly with the use of at-home aligners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we have been\noffering our patients at home aligners since our doors first opened, and have\nnow extended this service to include the world-famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign London<\/a>. But that\ndoes not mean that all at home aligners are created equal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are some of the differences between the\nat-home aligners that we can offer, such as <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>\nand off-brand counterparts? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look into <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>,\nyou may notice that there is a brand for teenagers. Therefore, this treatment\nhas a wider age demographic than you may think. But other providers of at-home\naligners often have a minimum age of 18 years old, which means many young\npeople who could benefit from this treatment are excluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In much the same way that someone who wears\nglasses should not buy their glasses offline, if you have misaligned teeth, you\nshould not seek orthodontic treatment without the care of a trained\nprofessional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using an aligner at home can be hazardous; you\nmay be unsuitable for the treatment you have chosen, which can lead to\nworsening your underlying orthodontic problems. When you come to <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we care about\ngetting you the straighter smile you want and are not as driven to turn a\nprofit as some online providers, so we will only recommend invisible aligners\nif you are suitable for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people have concerns that when they\nundertake orthodontic treatment with a branded aligner, the name itself will\nadd a price tag. And if you can get the same treatment online for less, why\nwouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with the price tag that we offer our\npatients comes our team&#8217;s dedication to straightening your teeth, the ability\nto contact us at any time if you have issues and, of course, the knowledge that\nour team has experience and training with this aligner to ensure that it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time scale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not a secret that when you use invisible aligners to straighten your teeth, many have an average turnaround of between 3-6 months. But this faster treatment can only really be guaranteed if you have a team helping you with each stage of your treatment, which may not be possible if you are using an off-branded online option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many issues can occur when using an off-brand aligner that can slow the treatment down; poor tracking, bad engagement from either the patient or the dental team and, of course, delays with shipping out replacement aligners as and when needed. When you come to <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we will always ensure that the aligner we provide will fit your teeth well and aim to keep you engaged with the treatment to get desirable results.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pandemic of 2020, which is still partially ongoing, has led many people to seek out treatments that they would usually obtain on the high street from the comfort of their own homes.
