Straighten your teeth using clear aligners with Invisalign

Invisalign London is a modern method of teeth straightening available with us at Clear Braces Direct to straighten your teeth, using clear thermoplastic aligners rather than brackets and wires. Many people have avoided orthodontic treatment because they were reluctant to wear fixed braces and draw unwanted attention to their mouth. Invisalign London has been around for 20 years. In the last 20 years it has helped treat more than 14 million smiles across the world. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile then it is time that you did something about it. There is more than enough proof to show that Invisalign London is highly efficient, convenient and comfortable so what are you waiting for?

Invisalign aligners

Invisalign aligners are made with SmartTrack material which means that they have good flexibility and provide greater comfort. This is why Invisalign has been reported as significantly more comfortable for teeth straightening in comparison to other orthodontic treatment options such as traditional fixed braces.The aligner itself stretches over your teeth and the rebound of that stretch moves your teeth into a neater position. Each aligner has been designed to move your teeth by 0.2 to 0.25 mm within the space of two weeks. Each aligner needs to be kept in your mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day. They can be removed if necessary, but it is advised that you only take them out at meal times and if you are enjoying drinks other than water. After food and drink it is important that you brush your teeth thoroughly, floss between your teeth and use a fluoride mouthwash to clean your mouth.

The aligners themselves are also very easy to clean. You can brush them with your ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste and rinse them with warm water before replacing them in your mouth. The longer you wear your aligners the better results you will achieve. We suggest that you set a timer when you remove the aligners so that you can keep a track of how long they are out of your mouth. If the aligners are not worn properly then this can affect the overall treatment. Either you will need more aligners at the end of the treatment or you will not achieve the predicted results.

Within 3 months you should notice a change in the position of your teeth and an average total treatment time is between 6 and 12 months for those with mild or moderate orthodontic issues. If you have complex orthodontic issues then the treatment time can take up to 18 months or Invisalign may not be sufficient alone and you may need a combined treatment plan. This will be put together for you at the beginning. Once you reach the end of the treatment you will have a neatly aligned smile that is aesthetically pleasing and improves your dental health for the future. To help maintain your brand new smile we will provide you with Invisalign’s very own retainer. Your retainer will be very similar to your final aligner and this will need to be worn regularly whilst you sleep overnight to maintain your newly aligned smile.
