<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis can create more than a few problems, especially\nif you have a job that requires you to give talks, such as a lecturer, as you\nmay be self-conscious about people looking at your teeth. Luckily, there is a\nway to get the straighter smile you deserve without undergoing such extensive\northodontic work, and that is with the use of invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nyou come to us at Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>\nto talk to our team about orthodontic treatment, we will likely advise the use\nof one of our most famous and successful aligners: Invisalign London<\/a>. This\naligner has helped thousands of people get the straighter smiles they wanted,\nwithout using excessive force or visually noticeable methods, making it\nexceedingly popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But even at this early stage, you may have\nqueries about how Invisalign London<\/strong>\nworks. In this article, our team aims to answer five of the most common\nquestions about this invisible aligner treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do the aligners work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisalign London<\/strong> works due to its unique and custom-fitted shape. When you come to see\nour team for your initial consultation, we will assess your suitability, and\nassuming that you have good oral health and only a moderate case of dental\nmisalignment, we will then use an intraoral scanner to take an image of your\nteeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The image from the scan will be used to create\nthe shape of the starting aligner. Using computer technology to move your teeth\ndigitally, another set of aligners will be custom-made to support the movement\nat each stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How long does it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is hard to say since your clinical case will\nvary from other people. However, on average, invisible aligners can straighten\nyour teeth in as little as 3 to 6 months, provided that you wear them for the\nallotted time per day, which is usually 22 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can they correct overbites?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, yes, they can correct overbites.\nAs mentioned earlier, your overbite will have to be mild to moderate, and it\ncannot involve crooked molar teeth that need notating, as this can only be\nachieved using standard metal braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it uncomfortable to wear them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the aligners are slimmer than\ntraditional fitted braces, many patients find that they are easier to wear in\ndaily life. Because the aligners do not exert pressure or force in the same way\nas braces do when they have been adjusted or corrected, the treatment itself is\nmore comfortable in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you should expect some sensations of\nsoreness and pressure, for which you will need to take over-the-counter pain\nrelievers. If it becomes excruciatingly difficult to wear your aligners, please\ncontact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are they going to be expensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cost of braces in adult life is governed by multiple factors, one of which involves visits to the dentist to have the braces tightened. As invisible aligners do not require this, you may be surprised at how affordable they can be. We are also able to offer financing options to suitable patients to help break down the cost of treatment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When most adults are advised to undertake orthodontic treatment, many of them presume that this will mean wearing a fitted orthodontic or metal brace.
