But\ndon&#8217;t worry! All these accessories are designed to ensure that orthodontic\ntools work as they need to so that you can get the straighter smile you want in\nthe shortest time possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\napproach our team at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>\nabout undertaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbraces-direct.co.uk\/\">Invisalign\nLondon<\/a>, we will explain to you all the tools of the trade that are needed\nto ensure that this aligner straightens your teeth correctly and quickly. So\nyou won\u2019t have to wait around due to your aligners not working correctly. Great\nstuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are some of the accessories that accompany <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong> to ensure that the aligners work as\nplanned? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chewies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chewies are essentially small rubber foam cylinders that can be\nused when placing an aligner into your mouth, specifically when you have\nchanged from one aligner to another. You need to ensure that the new aligner\ntracks correctly in order to move your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chewies are reusable and can ensure that your treatment goes\nas planned with no delays by pressing the aligners against your teeth\ncorrectly. Simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Washes and crystals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have read that invisible aligners can be washed by\nsimply rinsing them under a cold tap, and this is true. But some people want a\nbit more and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that their aligners\ntaste pleasant when worn. There are multiple washes and crystals designed for\nuse alongside <strong>Invisalign London<\/strong>, and they can also\nfreshen your breath at the same time. Just make sure that the type of wash you\nchoose to rinse your aligners with is specified for Invisalign, as some may\ncontain bleaches, which can discolour the aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Removal picks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that aligners can simply be pulled off of your\nteeth when you need to remove them; they technically can, but this can cause\nthem to become damaged. Therefore, there are removal picks that can be used to\nsimply pick the aligners off of your teeth. Physically, these picks resemble\nsmall plastic hooks and are great at preserving the shape of the aligner and\nensuring that your fingernails do not scratch or chip at the shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carry cases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you receive your invisible aligners, they will come in a\nset carry case. While it can be tempting to simply chuck your aligners into your\npocket or bag, this is not advised as this can cause them to become damaged and\nwarp out of shape. If you lose your original carry case, there are many\nreplacements that are just as sturdy and can keep the aligner safe and at a set\ntemperature to prevent them from warping out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The app<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using Invisalign, you need to download the associated app for your smartphone, which allows you to send photos to our team once a week. We can then track how the aligner is progressing with your treatment and send you tips and advice if your treatment plan needs to be altered. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people who have undertaken treatment in their childhood or teenage years with a fixed metal brace are aware of the seeming mountain of accessories required to ensure that this tool works correctly.
