When it comes to wearing invisible aligners, however, you will need to ask yourself some very honest questions about whether or not you can commit to the care that they require to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team has\nhelped many patients to get the straighter smiles that they have always wanted\nusing Invisalign London<\/a>,\nbut we know that it takes more than simply wearing the aligner to accomplish\nthis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, our team will explore some of\nthe things that need to be considered when choosing Invisalign London<\/strong>\nas your orthodontic tool of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, will you be able to dedicate 22 hours\nper day minimum to wearing Invisalign London<\/strong>? If\nyou are forgetful or have a busy schedule, then it may be better to ask about\nfitted aligners or even braces. If you don’t wear invisible aligners for the\nset time, your teeth may suffer from reversion, making the process an expensive\nwaste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your teeth healthy while wearing\ninvisible aligners, you will need to keep the aligners clean and free from\ndebris, as they will be pressed directly against your teeth and can cause\nbacteria to accumulate and potentially cause tooth decay or gum disease. The\ncleaning is straightforward and will involve you rinsing them under a cold\nwater tap as required or soaking them in an appropriate wash twice a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to assume that because these aligners\nare removable, they can stand pressure and be dropped. However, this is not the\ncase, and many patients find that they need to order replacement aligners\nbecause of damage. So, you will need to ensure that when you are out and about\nand when the aligners are not in your mouth, they are in the carry case\nprovided when you received them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many patients are surprised to learn that wearing\ninvisible aligners can be a bit uncomfortable. They do have to move your teeth,\nafter all! But you will need to be able to mitigate this discomfort to get\nthrough the entire process, and our team recommends using paracetamol or\nibuprofen to do so. However, if you are noticing excessive levels of\ndiscomfort, please contact us for an assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While using your invisible aligners, you will also need to send our team weekly updates via the associated app. This will help us assess whether or not the treatment is going as planned and allow us to intervene if we spot an issue. If you cannot commit to doing this, then you will need to consider alternative orthodontic treatments, such as fitted clear braces or lingual braces. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
