Being better prepared will allow you to make the\nrequired adjustments, and of course, will ensure that the treatment works and\ngives you the smile that you want and deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team knows\nall there is to know about using invisible aligners, particularly Invisalign London<\/a>. We can\nadvise you on what you can expect with your unique clinical case when you begin\nwearing this aligner, so there will be no surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But generally speaking, there are some other\nthings you can expect too. And in the following short guide, our team breaks\ndown what using Invisalign London<\/strong> typically entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To benefit from using Invisalign London<\/strong>,\nyou need to wear the aligners for a minimum of 22 hours per day. This means in\nthe first few days or even weeks of wear, you will not be too far from your\nwatch or a timer on your phone. While it can be tempting to try and skip this\nstep and wear the aligners as and when you please, be aware that doing so can\nresult in the treatment stalling and may cause your teeth to move back to their\nformer positions. This will make the entire process a waste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of wearing invisible aligners\nis that you can see your teeth moving with each aligner. However, it is also\nimportant to be aware of how the aligners themselves will fit and move. When\nyou first begin wearing your aligner, it will be tight fitting to your teeth\nand may require a bit of fiddling to adjust. As the teeth move, it will become\nlooser and when the aligner begins to move in your mouth, it is time to switch\nto the next one in the sequence. This usually occurs every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As mentioned before, when it comes to the end of\nwearing one aligner, it may feel loose in your mouth. And while uncommon,\naligners may not fit correctly to begin with, so when you put them in, they may\nfeel loose. This needs to be addressed by our team, as a loosely fitting\naligner cannot move your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of cleaning!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that your aligner remains invisible and\nthat your oral health remains in good condition for the duration of treatment,\nyou will need to engage in lots of cleaning. As the aligners are removable,\nthey can be cleaned by simply rinsing them under a cold water tap twice a day\nor as needed. When you take the aligners out to eat food, before putting them\nback in, you will need to brush your teeth to remove food and other pieces of\ndebris. This will ensure that you are at a lower risk of developing cavities or\ngum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekly reports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that the treatment is going as planned, our team will need to see weekly photographs of your teeth. This can be done using the associated app with the aligner and all you need to do is take a selfie and send it across. From this, we will be able to determine what steps are necessary. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
