When you are an adult who is interested in straightening your smile, you will want to ensure that any treatment that you undertake will be beneficial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

With the use of invisible aligners, it is easy to\nassume that the control and success of the aligner are completely within the\nhands of the dentist. However, this is not true, and there are many things that\nyou can do that will ensure your time wearing an invisible aligner is\nsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nyears at Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we\nhave been helping patients get the straighter smiles that they want using Invisalign London<\/a>. This clear\nplastic aligner can slot over your teeth and gently apply pressure, moving them\nin gradual steps rather than tightening sessions, which is common with a fitted\nbrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are some of the things you can do to\nensure that Invisalign London<\/strong> works for you? Read\non to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hygiene<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This aligner is removable, so it will not have a\ndetrimental impact on your oral hygiene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Invisalign London<\/strong>\nwill require you to take care of your teeth and gums. When you remove the\naligner during mealtimes, you will need to clean your teeth before you wear the\naligner again to ensure that food debris and bacteria are not pressed against\nthe teeth or gums. You may also need to see a dental hygienist throughout this\ntreatment if you have a history of gum disease or if there is a family history\nof this disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that when you undertake\nany kind of orthodontic treatment, you should minimise your sugar intake as\nthis can increase the chances of secondary conditions occurring. However, as\ninvisible aligners are removable, you will not need to alter your diet as much\nas you would with a fitted brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody knows that smoking is bad for your\nhealth, and this extends to your teeth and gums. If you are looking to\nundertake invisible aligners, it may be worth kicking the habit fast. Smoking\nwhilst wearing invisible aligners not only increases your chance of developing\ngum disease but also heightens the chance of you developing oral cancer. It is\nalso worth noting that if you smoke whilst wearing an aligner, this will dry\nyour mouth out, which can lead to a higher chance of developing tooth decay. A\ndry mouth has less saliva, which is essential for keeping food debris and\nsugars off of your teeth to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appointments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main reasons why people choose to\nundertake invisible aligners is because there are fewer appointments with our\nteam. But you will still need to see us every 6 to 8 weeks on average, provided\nthat there are no issues with the ongoing treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engagement!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings us to this point! When you come to Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> to undertake invisible aligners, we will need to see weekly selfies of your smile to ascertain whether or not the aligners are working as predicted. If they aren\u2019t, you may need to come in and see our team for adjustments to be made. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
