In the adult world time is not only money, it is also a factor that many consider when undertaking any kind of treatment. Many adults simply do not have the time to wait around for results and will often opt for faster solutions if possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is no different in dental care, particularly orthodontics.\nIf you are an adult who has misaligned teeth, you may be looking for a quick\nand easy way to straighten them. Depending on the severity of the misalignment\nthat you wish to treat, there may be a solution for you in invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\ncome to see our team at Clear Braces\nDirect<\/strong>, we may be able to help. We specialise in the use of invisible\naligners like Invisalign London<\/a>,\nwhich is a discreet and quick aligner that we have used with thousands of patients\nto straighten their smiles. So it is safe to say that we know what we are\ndoing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how long is it going to take to get the straighter smile\nyou want? And what is involved when you begin treatment with Invisalign London<\/strong>? Here, our team provides a brief guide so\nyou know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is a consultation with our team, where we will\nassess your suitability for Invisalign London<\/strong>. As mentioned before,\nyour suitability will depend on the severity of the misalignment that you want\nto treat. This orthodontic tool is only really suitable for people who have a\nmild to moderate misalignment with their front teeth. If we decide that you are\nsuitable, we will then employ our intraoral scanner, which will scan an image\nof your teeth. This image will then be uploaded to a computer. This is\nimportant for the next stage in providing treatment, which can take around 2 to\n3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images obtained from the intraoral scan will be sent to a\ndental laboratory where technicians will use a digital vector map to move the\nscanned teeth into their desired final positions. This will allow the\ntechnicians to predict how many aligners will be needed, alongside the\ndifferent shapes for each aligner. These images will then be sent to a 3D\nprinter, where they will be printed using clear plastic. This process is\nstraightforward but as mentioned before it can take 2 to 3 weeks for the\naligners to arrive at our surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the aligners are removable, you will need to be disciplined\nwhen it comes to keeping them in your mouth. We recommend wearing them for\naround 22 hours per day. This may differ depending on your clinical need. If\nyou do not wear them for the required time, your realignment treatment may\nstall or your teeth may revert to their previous positions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they come in a set of between 12 to 14, each aligner needs\nto be worn for around 14 days. Determining when to change the aligner is\nstraightforward; when you first put it in, it will feel tight and as the teeth\nmove, it will become looser. If it wobbles when placed over your teeth, it is\ntime to move on to the next aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can happen to anyone! A lost aligner will need to be\nreplaced by our team. Simply contact us and we will be able to have a new\naligner printed for you. During this time, it is worth putting the previous\naligner in the series back into your mouth to prevent your teeth from moving\nout of sequence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
