<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd if you are an adult who is looking to undertake dental realignment,\nyou may be curious as to how other orthodontic tools, such as aligners, will\nimpact your oral hygiene. Will you need to avoid certain foods? Or will you\nneed as many hygienist appointments as you would wearing a fitted brace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team\nspecialises in the use of Invisalign\nLondon<\/a>, a removable aligner that is not only easier to fit into your daily\nroutine, but an aligner that also does not have such a dramatic impact on your\noral health whilst wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So how does the wearing of Invisalign London<\/strong>\ndiffer from that of a fitted brace relating to dental hygiene? Read on to find\nout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A common concern that many adults have when undergoing\northodontic treatment is how it will impact their diets. Many people are aware\nthat when wearing a fitted brace, you have to avoid softer foods that can get\ntrapped under the archwire and of course sticky foods like toffee. With Invisalign London<\/strong>, as the aligner is removable, you will not\nneed to alter your diet at all and can enjoy the same range of foods as you did\nbefore starting treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brushing and flossing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When wearing invisible aligners, you can remove them to brush\nand floss your teeth and you should aim to do so twice a day. However, when you\nare about to eat food or consume hot beverages, you will need to take the\naligners out of your mouth to prevent them from becoming damaged. It is worth\ninvesting in a travel-size toothbrush, as before you put the aligner back in\nyour mouth, you will need to clean your teeth to remove food debris. This will\nprevent cavities and periodontal disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hygienist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gum disease is always a concern when it comes to dental care.\nWhen you are wearing an aligner or a brace, you will want to ensure that your\ngums are healthy and that there is no risk posed to your teeth. While you will\nnot need to visit a hygienist as part of standard invisible aligner treatment,\nit may be worth attending biannual hygienist check-ups while undertaking this\ntreatment, to ensure that your gums and teeth are healthy and free of\nperiodontal disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As the aligners are made from clear plastic, you will need to\nkeep them clean to prevent issues from occurring with your oral hygiene. This\nis very straightforward; simply rinse the aligners under a tap twice a day, or\nas required, to remove debris and food particles that could cause cavities or\ngum disease. Do not use hot water to clean your aligners or mouthwash, as this\ncan lead to the aligners becoming misshapen or stained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check-ups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, when undertaking realignment treatment with\ninvisible aligners you will still need to attend your biannual check-ups with\nour team. This will ensure that your teeth and gums remain in good condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When most people think about orthodontic tools such as braces, they picture pieces of food being trapped under the archwire or around the brackets, creating a not very aesthetically pleasing look.
