If you undertook orthodontic treatment as a teenager or child, you probably remember all the need-to-know facts associated with the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"straight-teeth\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For instance, your dentist would have probably\ntold you to brush your teeth after meals when wearing a fitted brace and avoid\ncertain foods as they can become stuck to the archwires. If you are now a\nteenager or adult and have noticed that your teeth are becoming slightly\nmisaligned, then you may be less than eager to use a fitted metal brace again\ndue to some of these dietary and lifestyle restrictions. But there is now an\noption that will allow you to realign your teeth discreetly: Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nit comes to choosing a provider of Invisalign, our team at Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> is experienced with this brand of aligner. We\nknow that if you are a suitable candidate for treatment with Invisalign, you\ncan use it to get straight\nteeth at home London<\/a>, which is more convenient for you and saves a lot of trips\nto our dental surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Invisalign is different to a standard fitted\nbrace, and if you are using Invisalign to get straight teeth at\nhome London<\/strong>, there are some things about the treatment process that\nyou need to know. So, read on to find out more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are in charge!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a fitted brace, your dentist would be in\ncharge of tightening it and ensuring that it was working. When it comes to\ngetting straight teeth at home London<\/strong> with Invisalign,\nyou are in charge! This means you will be responsible for ensuring that all the\naligners are worn in the correct order and fitting correctly, and you will be\nresponsible for sending selfies to our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may cause a twinge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since an Invisalign aligner is removable, it can\nbe easy to assume that it will not cause any pressure on your mouth. But you\nneed to be aware that the aligner is designed to move your teeth, so it may be\nslightly uncomfortable, especially when you wear a new aligner in the series.\nTo mitigate this discomfort, use over-the-counter pain relievers such as\nparacetamol or ibuprofen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to stay in touch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to keep in regular contact with our\nteam so that we can ensure that the process is working; send our team selfies\nof your smile once a week using the associated Invisalign app. These weekly\nupdates will allow us to assess whether the treatment is working properly and\nspot and resolve potential problems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is pretty quick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is a fast-acting aligner and can\nstraighten your teeth in as little as 3 to 6 months. But when you are using it\nat home, your treatment time will depend on you staying in contact with our\nteam and promptly reporting any issues that may be occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retainers will be needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like a fitted brace, once the treatment is over, you will be given a custom-made retainer by our team; this will need to be worn to ensure that your teeth stay in their new positions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
