In this article, our team at Clear Braces Direct answers the most common queries we receive from patients who want to get straight teeth at home London. So enjoy!

Do the aligners work?

Of course, they do!

At Clear Braces Direct, we know what we are doing when it comes to using Invisalign, and can assure you that this aligner can get you straight teeth at home London, with all the added discretion and ease you want.

How long will I need to wear them?

The course of your treatment with Invisalign may take anywhere between 3-12 months, depending on the severity of the misalignment being corrected.

Per day, our team will advise you on how long they need to be worn but you should aim to keep them in for around 22 hours per day.

How often will I need to see you?

As is the way with Invisalign aligners, you will not need to have them tightened or straightened. And so, there will be fewer visits to see us and of course, as this treatment is home-based, we intend to only call you into the surgery when necessary.

We aim to keep our patients at a distance; it’s not that we don’t want to see you, it is simply that we shouldn’t need to! You will be required to send us weekly updates of your smile via the Invisalign app, and we will send you instructions using this method too. But we don’t want to encroach on your life unless needed, so hopefully, we will only see you a few times in surgery throughout this treatment.

Are there any downsides to this option?

You may have heard rumours online that having your teeth straightened at home is riddled with complications.

And that it can lead to irregularities with your teeth alignment due to poorly taken dental moulds or a lack of input from the dental team. Luckily, this is not the case when you choose Clear Braces Direct to undertake your dental realignment.

We will be in contact with you every step of the way; you will be able to contact us either by phone, email or using the Invisalign app. Using this app, you will need to send us weekly selfies of your smile, so we can assess how the treatment is progressing.

And of course, we will need to see you for an initial assessment, during which we will use an intraoral scanner to take an image of the inside of your mouth, so no need to worry about dental moulds causing problems! We take care of everything!

Is it pricey?

Money doesn’t grow on trees, and with any kind of cosmetic dental care, you will want to know that it is money well spent.

With Clear Braces Direct, we offer you many options to pay for this treatment, including financing, so you can spread the cost of the treatment over many months without draining your savings. If this sounds like an option you would be interested in, please contact our team for more information today!
