They are custom-fitted to your mouth and gradually move your teeth over 3 to 6 months. As the name suggests, they are also visually discreet being made from clear plastic and not having any archwires or brackets fixing them to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we are very\nproud of our ability to offer our suitable patients Invisalign, which can\nprovide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/straighten-teeth-at-home-how.html\">straight\nteeth at home London<\/a> in as little as 3 to 6 months. So if you are looking\nfor a straightforward way to correct a minor misalignment with your front\nteeth, this may be the option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what is required for you to be deemed a\nsuitable candidate for Invisalign and get <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong>? Read on to find out\nwhat our team will check for at your initial consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Healthy mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before undertaking any orthodontic treatment,\nyour mouth will need to be checked for signs of decay or gum disease. If these\nissues or any others are spotted, like impacted teeth, they will need to be\ntreated before undertaking any orthodontic treatment. This is particularly\nimportant when you are looking to get <strong>straight teeth at home London<\/strong>, as there are fewer\nin-surgery checks required by our team. So any small cavities or signs of\ninflammation will need to be treated before you begin wearing your aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natural teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As odd as it sounds, we will also need to check\nthat all of the teeth that you wish to move are natural. In some cases, people\nhave dental implants, and these can fall out of alignment due to changes in the\nmouth, sometimes the patients wish to have them straightened using an\northodontic tool. In simple terms, this is not possible and they will need to\nbe treated using a different option. If you have dental implants in the back of\nyour mouth, then this will be unlikely to present a clinical issue in most\ncases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard that Invisalign offers its\naligners to teenagers, provided that they have all of their adult teeth. This\nis true, but when it comes to using the aligner in your home and having it\ndelivered directly to your address, we can only offer this option to people who\nare over 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clinical presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a more complex case of dental\nmisalignment, such as issues with your molars or the need to have one of your\nfront teeth rotated, this can mean you are not suitable to undertake\nInvisalign. So you may need to have a fitted brace as an alternative. For more\ninformation on your suitability based on your clinical presentation, please\nbook an appointment with our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clinical requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we think that you will not adhere to the 22 hours of wear per day due to issues with discipline or time restrictions, then we may recommend a fitted clear brace as an alternative. After all, for the aligner to work, it needs to be in your mouth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have been searching for a way to straighten your teeth as an adult, it can seem that the answer to your prayers has arrived when you discover Invisalign aligners These aligners are very nifty and very effective.
