When it comes to undertaking orthodontic treatment as an adult, most people will want an option that involves as few trips to the dentist or orthodontic surgery as possible, as this can be quite difficult to fit in around a busy schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"invisalign-aligners\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there is a way that you can get the straighter teeth\nyou want without having to see a dentist every 2 to 6 weeks, and this involves\nthe use of invisible or clear aligners. But you will need to take the helm when\nit comes to changing and cleaning your aligners and adhering to the guidelines\ngiven by our team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team knows\nthat most people do not have spare time to visit to see their dentists every\nfew weeks to have their teeth assessed. Therefore, we are always happy to offer\nour adult patients Invisalign\nLondon<\/a> if they are suitable candidates. Patients being treated with\nInvisalign will need to send us weekly photos of their smiles, and provided all\ngoes well, that’s about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even with all this ease of use and simple fitting, there\nmay be some signs that your Invisalign London<\/strong>\naligner is not working correctly; so, here are some of the key ones to keep an\neye out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wobble<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you will need to wear each aligner for around two weeks at\na time, you will be able to predict when it is the right time to move on to the\nnext one in the series, and that will be when the aligner is wobbling or loose.\nHowever, if your aligner wobbles when you wear it or throughout your daily\nroutine, then this is a sign that it is not tracking properly and cannot move\nyour teeth as required, so be sure to contact our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are too tight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the spectrum, if it is hard to take your\naligners out or put them in, this can symbolise that they are too tightly\nfitted, which can cause excessive discomfort and unpredictable movements to\noccur. While you should expect it to be tight sometimes when you use this\naligner, excessive tightness can cause discomfort and even injury to the gums.\nSo, be sure to visit our team if this is occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth aren\u2019t moving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things about Invisalign London<\/strong>\nis that by using computer technology, we can show you exactly how your teeth\nare going to be moved by the aligner. But a sign that it isn’t working at all\nis that, simply put, your teeth are not moving! This needs to be assessed as\nsoon as possible as it may be an issue with the fitting or the tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth aren\u2019t moving as predicted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, your teeth need to move as predicted in order for\nthe treatment to be successful. If they are moving in a way that was not shown\nin the computer models, this needs to be explored by our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treatment is excessively uncomfortable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is true that wearing an aligner or brace is unlikely to be exceedingly comfortable since, after all, these devices are designed to move your teeth. However, if you notice that your orthodontic treatment with an invisible aligner is causing excessive levels of discomfort, this needs to be assessed by our team as the aligner may have warped or there may be an underlying issue with your teeth or gums that has not been detected. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
