Keep them in!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign London<\/strong> is removable, so it can be extremely tempting to remove and leave it\nout of your mouth. But for this aligner to work correctly, you need to keep it\nin for a minimum of 22 hours per day or as recommended by our dental team. If\nyou don’t follow this guideline, not only will your teeth not move, but they\nmay revert to their former positions, making the entire experience a waste of\ntime and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep them clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For maintaining a high level of dental hygiene\nwhile undertaking invisible aligners, you will need to keep the aligners clean;\nthis is extremely straightforward as they are made from plastic and can simply\nbe rinsed under a cold water tap. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush\nto remove any stubborn food debris. It can be tempting, but even if you have a\nstubborn stain, do not rinse your aligner under hot water as this can cause it\nto warp out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a toothbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key tip for maintaining oral hygiene and\nensuring that your aligners track correctly is to keep your teeth clean. We\nadvise that when you are eating or consuming beverages that are not water, you\nshould remove the aligners from your mouth. So when you go to put the aligners\nback into your mouth, you will need to scrub your teeth quickly to remove any\nfood debris; this will prevent cavities and gum disease from forming.\nTherefore, it is well worth investing in a travel-sized toothbrush to take to\nwork or university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintain contact with our team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to maintain regular contact with\nour team to ensure that your treatment goes off without a hitch. This is not\nextensive, as you will only need to see us every 6 to 8 weeks to ensure that\nthere are no issues that go undiagnosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download the app!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, even invisible aligners have an app! To maintain contact with our team, we advise our patients to download the app, which will allow them to send weekly selfies so that we can assess whether their aligners are working as predicted or whether they need to come in to see our team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
