When it comes to wearing a brace, you will not need to know whether it is working or not; this is the job of the dentist in charge of your care, who can make adjustments on your behalf, so the brace will straighten your teeth. However, this is not the case with aligners. There are many people in the UK straightening their teeth with clear aligners who may not be aware of whether their aligners are working or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"invisible-aligners\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With many clinics offering distance-based\ndentistry, it can be tough for dental teams to spot whether the aligner is\nworking as planned until there is an obvious issue. So how can you tell whether\nyour orthodontic treatment is going to plan or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we have made it\nour mission to straighten the smiles of our patients using Invisalign London<\/a>. We know\neverything about this nifty clear aligner and will always aim to ensure that it\nworks for you and that you can get the straighter smile that you want and\ndeserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can you tell whether the aligner is\nworking or not when you are at home and in between checkups? Here are some\ntelltale indicators that Invisalign London<\/strong> is\nnot working as planned and that you need to book an appointment to see our\nteam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth aren\u2019t moving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounds obvious, but many people assume that\nbecause the aligners work in smaller increments, you will not notice your teeth\nmoving. Invisalign London<\/strong> offers you the ability to\nvisually see your teeth moving through the aligner as the treatment progresses.\nIf you notice that your teeth are not moving as predicted by our team, then you\nneed to book an appointment to see us. The aligners may no longer fit\ncorrectly, or there may be another issue that needs addressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aligners are wobbly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wobbly aligners are a part of this treatment.\nWhen you wear an aligner for two weeks and it starts to feel wobbly, it is time\nto move on to the next aligner in the series. But if each aligner feels loose\nor wobbles when you talk, then this is a sign that the aligners do not fit\ncorrectly and, therefore, cannot work. The invisible aligners should be tight\nto your teeth when they are first put on and gradually become looser during the\nwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aligners don\u2019t fit over all of your teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the aligners do not cover all of your teeth\ncorrectly, then it is unlikely that they will have the required tension to work\nas planned. If your teeth are moving and the aligners no longer fit over one of\nthem, then you need to see our team to assess the underlying cause of this\nunpredicted movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are too tight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other end of the spectrum, if your aligners feel tight throughout the entire period of you wearing them, then this is a sign that there is an issue with the overall alignment process. Typically, this can be due to a tooth moving out of alignment unpredictably. Our team will need to assess this and remedy it for you to get your straighter smile using the aligner. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
