Key advantages of Invisalign aligners

When it comes to deciding which orthodontic treatment is right for you, there are many factors that our team at Clear Braces Direct will consider. One of the key things that we will assess is the severity of your dental misalignment. If you have a more complicated case that involves your molar teeth or requires one of your teeth to be rotated, we will likely suggest that you wear a clear fixed brace or an orthodontic brace. But if you have a mild misalignment at the front of your mouth, we will likely suggest an invisible aligner, which comes with its own set of advantages.

As our name suggests, at Clear Braces Direct, we’re all about discreet dental care and are proud to offer our suitable patients Invisalign London. These clear aligners are easy to fit into daily life and virtually invisible when worn out and about or even in meetings. Great stuff!

So with that in mind, what are some of the key advantages of wearing Invisalign London? Read on to find out!

Better fit

Unlike braces, which must be cut and pasted into place to fit your teeth, Invisalign London can be custom-made to slot over your teeth at each stage of the realignment process. This starts with our team taking an intraoral scan of your teeth and then using computer software to plan each stage of the realignment treatment. Each stage is then printed into an invisible aligner, which enables a better fit and less soreness or rubbing against the inner cheeks and gums.

Removable

One of the core reasons why many adults are eager to use invisible aligners is simply because they are removable, meaning that you do not have to forfeit certain foods whilst undergoing the treatment. You simply need to take the aligners out before you eat! But you will need to ensure that the aligners are washed before they are placed back into your mouth and that your teeth have been cleaned to ensure that no plaque or debris is trapped by the aligner and pressed against your teeth.

Accelerated treatment

Many people assume that because the aligners are invisible, they will take longer to work, but this is not the case. On average, invisible aligners will take between 3 to 6 months to work, depending on the severity of the misalignment and provided that you wear them for the set amount of time per day, which is 22 hours.

Comfort level

Because they are custom-made and slim, many patients find these aligners more comfortable to wear than fixed braces. The aligners also utilise a different system for moving your teeth; rather than pulling your teeth into position (as is the way with braces), they gently push them into the desired positions, making the overall process more comfortable and manageable.

Ease of daily use

One of the core advantages of wearing invisible aligners is the ease of daily use. You can take your aligner out and wear them back on, provided you wear them for 22 hours a day. They are visually discreet and require no use of interdental brushes or excessive trips to see our team to have them adjusted, making them easier to fit into daily adult life.
