What can Invisalign do for you?

Do you have crooked or misaligned teeth but the thought of metal braces makes you feel uncomfortable? Invisalign offers an alternative to traditional metal braces. This innovative treatment consists of custom-made, transparent aligners that gradually move your teeth into their correct position almost invisibly. Wondering how this is possible?

If you come to see us at Clear Braces Direct in London we will happy to tell you all about the many benefits of Invisalign and how it works. Invisalign aligners can be worn by most people with crooked or crowded teeth, but they are not suitable for severe or complex cases of misalignment.

Apart from getting a brand new smile, getting Invisalign at Clear Braces Direct in London also offers other benefits, some of which may be surprising to you. Let’s discover a few of them.

The Invisalign diet

Invisalign aligners need to be worn almost all day in order to be effective; general advice being to wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day to ensure your teeth move as planned by your dentist. However they must always be removed when you eat or drink. This is because food and drink can stain your aligners rendering them far more visible to onlookers. Invisalign users have therefore noticed that this simple guideline means they are less likely to snack during the day and as a result can lose a bit of weight.

Discover a new, confident you

Some people find the thought of smiling, showing your teeth, or speaking with unsightly metal braces anxiety-inducing. This can affect the way you see yourself and cause embarrassment in social situations. In contrast, Invisalign aligners at Clear Braces Direct in London are clear so only a trained observer who gets up close will notice them. You can therefore smile with confidence.

Invisalign benefits your oral health

Though traditional metal braces are very efficient at straightening your teeth, they can also make cleaning your teeth more challenging as food gets lodged between the teeth and braces, making plaque and tartar build-up more likely. With Invisalign your dental hygiene routine is no more challenging than before your treatment begins.
