When you begin the realignment process with\ninvisible aligners, it is a fair assumption that you expect them to work. After\nall, they have been custom-fitted to match your teeth and you have had every\nstage of the treatment process explained to you, so you will know what to\nexpect. You will even have access to an app linked to the invisible aligners\nwhich can answer the majority of your questions. This is a highly successful\nteeth straightening system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a select few individuals who are undertaking invisible aligner treatment, however, it may not go to plan. This may be due to poor sourcing of the aligners themselves if not from a reputable establishment, or maybe due to issues with adherence to the 22 hours per day recommended use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we know\ninvisible aligners inside out and will always aim to provide our patients with\ntips to ensure that Invisalign\nLondon<\/a> works for them. However, if you think that your aligners are not\nworking as planned feel free to contact us for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, what are some of the key signs\nthat your Invisalign London<\/strong> aligners are not working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor fit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an Invisalign London<\/strong>\ntreatment is created, our team will use an intraoral scan of your teeth to get\nthe exact position to structure the first aligner. Then, using a series of\ndigital movements to this scan, we will be able to create the other aligners\nneeded to get your teeth to the desired position. But if when you put the\naligner into your mouth it does not fit correctly, this is a sign that the\naligner is not going to work as planned and you should always aim to contact us\nto have them refitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth not moving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be slightly harder to judge, especially\nif you have a minor misalignment with your front teeth. If after a few weeks of\nwear, you don’t notice any movement, then you may need to contact our team for\nan assessment. Aligners not moving teeth correctly could be due to a poor fit\nor non-adherence to the 22 hours per day of wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excessive discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that even when you are using\nremovable aligners there will be some discomfort, as they need to move your\nteeth. However, if you experience excessive levels of discomfort during wear,\nthis will need to be examined by our team, as it can indicate that they are not\nfitted correctly. Or that there is an underlying health issue, such as gum\ndisease, which is causing the aligners to feel tight and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wobbling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your aligners are wobbling throughout the\nentire period of wear, this is also a sign that they have not been fitted\ncorrectly and thus they cannot do their job. The aligners are designed to slot\nover your teeth and look like a clear sports guard. If they are wobbling as\nsoon as you put them in, this is a sign that you will not get any real movement\nand the aligner will need to be refitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth moving incorrectly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some patients become concerned when they notice that their teeth are not moving as planned. This can signify that there is an unforeseen issue in the mouth, such as a tooth which was loose or issues with daily wear. If your teeth are not moving as planned, you should contact our team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
