But that’s not to say that wearing invisible\naligners is straightforward or easier for many patients. Indeed, during the\nfirst few weeks of wearing an invisible aligner, you may be surprised at the\namount of adaptation that is required for these aligners to fit in with your\nlifestyle and for you to get used to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily,\nwhen you come to Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>\nto use Invisalign London<\/a>,\nwe can advise you on key ways to ensure that your initial period of wearing the\naligners goes off without a hitch. That way you are more likely to engage with\nthe treatment long term and get the results that you want and deserve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are our team’s top tips relating to Invisalign London<\/strong>? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 1- Keep the aligners in<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Invisalign London<\/strong> to\nwork, you need to keep the aligner in your mouth. Depending on your clinical\nneed, we may give you a deadline per day, but for most people this is around 22\nhours. For you to become better accustomed to the aligners, we often recommend\ninitially leaving them in for longer than this so you can adjust to the feel of\nthem in your mouth and get used to talking or singing whilst wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 2- Eat soft, cooler foods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sticky foods, while tempting, can cause a\nglutinous film on your teeth. Acidic foods can inflame the gums. With aligners,\nyou will need to keep them out of your mouth whilst eating, but we recommend\naltering your diet for the first few days. This is because the newly fitted\naligners may cause a bit of rubbing on the gums, which is going to feel a bit\nsore. So for your comfort, we recommend eating softer or cooler foods until you\nhave adjusted. If soreness caused by the aligners rubbing continues to be an\nissue, you should talk to our team about dental wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 3- New aligner? Bedtime is best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to wear each aligner for around 2\nweeks and when it comes to changing between them, we recommend putting in new\naligners at bedtime. This is because when you switch between aligners, you are\nmore likely to feel discomfort. For most people, this only lasts for a short\ntime. So why not do it whilst you sleep and then the next day you will feel\nmore at ease with the new aligner in your mouth. Great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 4- Discuss pain relief options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear aligners are by no means completely\ncomfortable. After all, they have to move your teeth! To mitigate the potential\nsoreness that the aligners can cause, we recommend talking to our team about\nthe most suitable options for pain relief, to help you stick to the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 5- Keep them clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure your oral hygiene remains intact and to\nkeep the aligners clear, you need to clean them a minimum of twice a day. This\nis straightforward and can be done by simply rinsing them under a cold tap and\nusing a soft-bristled toothbrush. Pairing this up with your daily hygiene\nregime can make this easier and will ensure that you are less susceptible to\ncavities or gum disease while undertaking the treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
