<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd, just like most cosmetic treatments, many\nthings can make you an ideal candidate for treatment, or there may be certain\nissues which can make you unsuitable. When it comes to considering undertaking\ninvisible aligners, we feel it is important to have an idea about your\nsuitability before approaching our team. Just to avoid disappointment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we have\nextensive experience of working with invisible aligners, particularly Invisalign London<\/a> and will be\nable to accurately assess your suitability. Our team will help you every step\nof the way, answering queries and concerns, to ensure you feel confident and\nhappy using this aligner to straighten your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But what are some of the requirements for\nundertaking Invisalign London<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Good oral health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the foundation of all cosmetic treatment\nrelating to dentistry is good oral health. When you come for a consultation\nwith our team, we may refer you on for additional work before you begin wearing\nInvisalign London<\/strong> if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have active tooth decay, gum disease or\nloose restoratives, we will need to resolve these issues and get your oral\nhealth back on track. That way, no issues will interfere with your orthodontic\ntreatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical case<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have heard that not everyone is suitable\nfor using invisible aligners. And sadly, this is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a more complex case of dental\nmisalignment, such as teeth that require twisting or problems with molar\nalignment, then you may be more suited for a fitted brace. This can also be the\nonly viable solution if you have an extreme bite issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Luckily, invisible aligners can correct most\nproblems. If you have rotated front teeth, slight protrusions, crossbite, over\nor underbite that is not too extreme, spacing or crowding issues, then you may\nbe suitable for this invisible aligner. Just contact our team and set up a\nconsultation with us to be sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a reason why invisible aligners are not\noften deemed suitable for children. And this is related to compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisible aligners are removable and so for them\nto move your teeth you will need to keep them in your mouth for a minimum of 22\nhours per day, or as directed by our team. If you do not do this, it can cause\na delay in the realignment process. Or it may lead to your teeth becoming stuck\nin one position, or even reverting to their former alignment. So, compliance is\nkey and in the case of children, most dental teams prefer them to wear a fitted\nbrace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are struggling to stick to the 22 hours\nper day of wearing the aligner, contact our team and we can discuss\nalternatives which may be more suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people who undertake invisible aligners are over the age of 18. However, they are also popular with teenagers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is because for the aligner to work, you need to have lost all of your baby teeth. The minimum age for invisible aligners is 13, so if you are this age and want to straighten your smile, ask an adult if you can contact us! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to orthodontic care, especially in your adult years, there are many options available.
