<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAt\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we are always\nhappy to offer our suitable patients invisible aligners to straighten their\nteeth, including Invisalign\nLondon<\/a> which is one of the most popular options among our adult patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to learn more about what Invisalign London<\/strong> is, or how it works, please read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisalign London<\/strong> is a system that uses 3D scans, 3D printing and computer technology to\ncreate a set of aligners which will move your teeth from their current position\nto a final desired position. They have been used in dental practices for more\nthan 10 years, but are becoming more popular with dental patients who are\nadults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How they work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisible aligners work based on their unique\nshape. The aligners themselves are made from clear plastic, which is 3D printed\nto match the position of your teeth at the start of the treatment. Using computer technology, the other aligners\nare created, with each one representing a stage in the realignment treatment.\nSo you will start with an aligner that fits over your teeth as they currently\nare, and the last one in the series will match the position that they need to\nbe in, and all the others will be every stage in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They apply pressure to your teeth using vector\npoints and this system gently pushes teeth into the new position, rather than\npulling them, which is how traditional braces work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How long do they take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, invisible aligners take between 3 and\n6 months to realign teeth, depending on the severity of the misalignment being\ntreated. However, this may vary and will depend on other factors such as how\nlong you wear them each day and if you need to order replacement aligners.\nAlways wear the aligners in the order set down by our team and do not skip an\naligner, unless you are advised to do so by us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Potential issues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are only a few potential issues with\nwearing invisible aligners, provided that you have sourced them from a\nreputable clinic or dental practice. One of the most common issues that we see\nat our practice is that patients do not wear them for the required 22 hours per\nday and so their teeth revert to their former positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may find issues with placing the aligners\ncorrectly into your mouth, which can cause problems with tracking, making it\nharder for the aligners to work efficiently at moving your teeth. If you find\nthat your teeth are not moving on schedule, please contact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Longevity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you have undertaken treatment with a fitted brace or an aligner, you will need to wear a retainer afterwards. This is to hold your teeth in place whilst they become accustomed to their new positions. If you fail to wear a retainer, there is a high chance that your teeth will move back to their original positions making the entire process a very expensive waste of time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you want to get straighter teeth without the hassle of wearing fitted braces as an adult?
