When it comes to undertaking invisible aligners there is much\nthat the majority of patients do not know about this procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"invisalign-london\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And this can influence whether or not many people who may be\nsuitable for treatment, decide to pursue it or not. Luckily in almost all\ncases, patients are suitable to undertake realignment with invisible aligners.\nAll you have to do is ask our team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we have been\nworking with Invisalign London<\/a>\nfor over 5 years and know everything that there is to know about this aligner.\nWe can assess your suitability for it at the initial consultation that you have\nwith our team and we will help you with the treatment every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are some of the most common queries that our team\nreceives relating to Invisalign\nLondon<\/strong>? Read on to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the aligners invisible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically, no. But that would be impossible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign London<\/strong> is made from clear\nplastic. It is moulded to the shape of your teeth and does not protrude.\nTherefore, these aligners are the closest things you can get to being truly\ninvisible alignment tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep them clean for the duration of the treatment, you will\nneed to rinse them under a cold water tap. This will remove food debris. Do not\nuse mouthwash to clean them, as this can cause them to discolour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do they hurt?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, there is no such thing as a completely comfortable\northodontic tool. Even with invisible aligners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they are often deemed to be more comfortable by many\npatients. Due in part to the fact that they push the teeth into the new desired\nlocations rather than pull them. This reduces pressure in the jaw, which is\nlinked to discomfort as the teeth move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can they correct an overbite?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, they can. But it depends on the severity of the overbite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is complex and involves the rotation of teeth, then we\nmay state that the best treatment option for you would be a fitted brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any orthodontic issue which involves rotating\nteeth, molar involvement or extensive spacing or overcrowding, then it may be\nbest to pursue a fitted brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do they take to work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This once again depends on the severity of the issue being\ncorrected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment, you can\nexpect the treatment to be completed in around 3 to 6 months. If the case is\nmore complex, it can take a bit longer. Remember, you will need to wear the\naligners for 22 hours per day in order to gain the most from them. Failure to\ndo so may result in your teeth halting as they are being realigned, or they may\nrevert back to their original positions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am I suitable for them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people are suitable for invisible aligners. As long as your alignment issue is mild to moderate and you have good overall oral health, then our team would be delighted to work with you to get you the straighter smile you deserve. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
