One of the most popular options that modern dental surgeries can offer is invisible or clear aligners. These have taken the world of adult orthodontics by storm, as they are easy to wear, do not require adjusting and are, of course, invisible or the closest thing to invisible that you can get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou come to us at Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>,\nour team will be able to offer you invisible aligners to straighten your teeth\nin the form of Invisalign\nLondon<\/a>, as this is one of our most popular options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before you rush to book your appointment, you\nwill likely have some questions about these aligners. In this article, our team\nanswers 5 of the standard questions that we receive about Invisalign London<\/strong>\nfrom our patients. So, read on and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do the aligners work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign London<\/strong> works due to its unique shape. The aligners themselves are\ncustom-fitted to slot over your teeth well, and during the course of the\ntreatment, they gradually apply pressure to your teeth, pushing them into shape.\nAn average set of aligners contains between 12 and 14 aligners, which will\nslowly move your teeth into the desired positions. Our team will take an\nintraoral scan of your teeth during the first appointment and then use computer\ntechnology to simulate the movements needed to get the result that you want.\nThese images are then transferred to a 3D printer and printed. And voila! The\naligners are complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can anyone wear them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately no, not everyone is suitable for\nundertaking treatment with invisible aligners. Originally designed to help with\nmild to moderate cases of orthodontic misalignment, this option is not suitable\nfor people who require more complex movement of their teeth, such as movement\nof molars, rotations of teeth or extreme protrusions or bite issues. But our\nteam at Clear Braces Direct will be able to assess your suitability when you\nattend a consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Invisible aligners take on average between 3 and\n6 months to work, but this will depend on the severity of the misalignment\nbeing treated and whether or not you adhere to wearing the aligners for the\nrequired 22 hours per day. For more complicated cases of misalignment, you may\nneed to wear the aligners for up to 18 months, but our team will be able to\noffer a more specific breakdown of your treatment timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I afford them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orthodontic care in adult life can be\nintimidating, especially when you consider the potential costs. However, our\nteam can offer financing options to suitable patients, which will help break\ndown the overall cost into affordable monthly repayments. So you won’t have to\nworry about your budget being affected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will I need to wear retainers afterwards?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, irrespective of the tool that is used to move your teeth, you will need to wear a retainer afterwards to ensure that your teeth remain in the final positions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
