<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLuckily, this is down to interpretation as both\nof these options have their own benefits and setbacks. As you can imagine, it\nis easier to determine which will be better suited for a patient than which\ncomic book villain is a better character!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nyou come to Clear Braces Direct<\/strong>, we\nwill offer you a candid assessment of your current dental misalignment. If we\nfeel that it is too severe to undertake Invisalign London<\/a>, we will\nhappily refer you to one of our orthodontic colleagues to better fit your\nneeds. However, if you are given the green light by our team, you can begin\nusing these remarkable invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what are some of the core considerations\nthat go into choosing which is more suited for you? Here is a brief guide as to\nwhat our team will consider when deciding whether Invisalign London<\/strong>\nis right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discipline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the key differences between using Invisalign London<\/strong> and braces is the discipline involved in\nthe use of the former. For invisible aligners to work, they need to be worn for\naround 22 hours a day; this is solely your responsibility. When it comes to\nassessing whether this treatment will work or not, our team will need to know\nthat you have the discipline to wear them for this allotted time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Severity of misalignment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned earlier, the severity of the\nmisalignment will play a large role in determining which orthodontic tool we\nwill use. If you have a misalignment that involves your molar teeth or requires\none of your teeth to be rotated, this will usually be best suited to a fixed\nbrace. If the misalignment is mild to minor and located at the front of your\nmouth, then we will likely suggest the use of invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The timeline of both treatments is very different,\nwith orthodontic braces taking up to 3 years to straighten teeth and invisible\naligners taking between 3 to 6 months on average. So, if you have an important\nevent coming up and a mild to moderate misalignment, then our team will likely\nsuggest the invisible aligners. However, if you have a severe orthodontic\nmisalignment, we will not recommend simply using invisible aligners just\nbecause they are faster but may suggest a clear fixed brace instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have a job that requires you to give a\nlot of talks? Once again, if you do and need a more complicated realignment of\nyour teeth, we may suggest a clear fixed brace. However, one of the core\nbenefits of wearing invisible aligners is that visually, they are exceedingly\ndiscreet, thus making less of an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is fair to say that fixed braces and invisible aligners both require care. Fixed braces will require you to attend dental checkups and appointments more regularly to have them tightened, and you will need to invest in interdental brushes to keep them clean. Invisible aligners also need to be kept clean, and you must maintain good oral hygiene. So, depending on your age and level of dental health, we will assess your suitability for each orthodontic tool. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Much like the ongoing disputes between comic book fans about which comic is better, DC or Marvel, there is now something of a similar dispute undertaken by dentists: which is better for adult orthodontic care, braces or invisible aligners?
