Easy teeth straightening with Invisalign

Invisalign London is a modern and successful method of teeth straightening that can produce excellent aesthetic results in a short period of time. It is ideal for busy lifestyles when you do not want to spend hours in the dentist’s chair. Most of the process is carried out from the comfort of your own home and thanks to advances in digital technology the progress of your treatment can also be monitored online. If this sounds ideal for you then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. We want to make the process as easy for you as possible. This is because we understand that despite there being plenty of options available, many people still avoid teeth straightening because they think it will be a complicated or difficult process.

Does Invisalign hurt?

A question that we are asked all the time is: does Invisalign hurt? The truth is Invisalign London is not completely pain-free, but it consists of moving your teeth from a misaligned position into a neat formation, therefore it is normal for there to be a certain extent of discomfort. Invisalign London works as a series of aligners. Every time you move on to the next aligner in the series your mouth may feel sore, because the aligners will be tight to begin with. The best way to address this is to change your aligner before you go to sleep at night. If you wake up 8 hours later than your mouth should have become accustomed to the feeling and you can get on with the rest of your day as normal. Even though you need to remove your aligners before eating or drinking, you may also find at first it is difficult to eat a lot of hard or chewy food and you may prefer softer foods or food that requires less chewing. Again this should subside very quickly and you should be able to eat and drink as you wish. Invisalign is known for being comfortable and convenient and in comparison to traditional orthodontic methods it truly is.

Looking after your aligners

The aligners need to be kept in your mouth for at least 22 hours a day for 2 weeks at a time. If you are unable to adhere to the guidelines then this will affect the end results. If you lose or damage an aligner then this can also affect the treatment process. By setting a timer every time you remove the aligners from your mouth you can monitor whether or not you are wearing them for long enough. To avoid losing your aligners you should keep them in the handy travel case that you are provided with when they are out of your mouth. This is also more hygienic and will prevent your aligners from getting damaged. It is important that you keep in touch with us through the app so that we can monitor your progress and make sure that the treatment is coming along successfully and within approximately a year you should have a neatly aligned smile.
