Surely moving your teeth could only\nbe done with dental appointments and the tightening of braces?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the ease of use that accompanies invisible aligners,\nit is now possible to use these tools in the comfort of your own home. With the\nhelp of our dental team of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we have\nspecialised in using clear aligners to help patients get the smiles that they\nwant and deserve. We are now able to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/straighten-teeth-at-home-how.html\">straight\nteeth at home London<\/a> to our patients who are suitable for using aligners\nlike Invisalign. So if you want a straighter smile without the inconvenience of\nmultiple dental appointments, contact us to see if this could be the treatment\nfor you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this is quite a new idea, we have been asked many questions\nby patients about obtaining <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong>. Here, we endeavour to\nanswer the most commonly asked that we receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is the treatment different to using aligners in a dental surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about using aligners in a dental surgery is misleading;\nthe majority of the work relating to the use of aligners takes place in the\nhome with the patient switching between aligners every two weeks or so.\nTherefore, it is easy to get <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong> using aligners without\nthe treatment being excessively different from how it would be in any other\nsetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long will it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many factors will influence how long you will need to wear your\ninvisible aligners. Generally speaking, the average treatment time is between 3\nto 6 months, but this will involve you needing to wear your aligners for 22\nhours per day or as recommended by our team. To give you a more accurate\nprediction of how long your treatment will be, you will need to attend an\ninitial consultation where we can assess your clinical case and can offer\nguidance relating to time periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should I do if there is an issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be issues when you are wearing clear aligners and\nluckily, our team is just at the end of a phone should there be a problem.\nHowever, you can also report potential hiccoughs to us via the associated app\nwhich comes with this aligner. The app allows you to get in contact with us\nquickly with photographic evidence of potential problems, minimising the need\nfor dental trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will I have to attend check-ups?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will only need to attend check-ups with our team if there\nis a problem with the realignment process. This can be determined by our team\nweekly when you send off your selfie which will highlight the movement of your\nteeth via the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will it cost more?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, invisible aligners do not cost more than fitted braces and Invisalign is one of the most cost-effective options for adult patients. This is due in part to its quick treatment time and its lack of clinical appointments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last couple of years, people have become used to doing things at home.
