A quick guide to getting straight teeth at home

You may not be aware, but in 2022, it is now possible to get the straighter smile that you want and deserve without having to leave your home!

Okay, perhaps technically, that isn’t really true since you will need to attend an initial consultation, but after that, you can simply use an app, send photos and voila!

Your straighter smile will be achievable without you needing to visit a dental surgery. Great!

So if you are looking for a way to straighten your teeth without the hassle of attending multiple dental appointments, then we have a superb solution for you.

At Clear Braces Direct, we are one of the leading providers of Invisalign, and we can help you to get straight teeth at home London provided that you follow the guidelines set down by our team. You can have the straighter smile that you want in as little as 3 to 6 months without needing to take time off work or book dental appointments around social commitments.

But how does this process work? Here, we briefly explain how we can offer straight teeth at home London to our suitable patients.

Consultation

Earlier, we mentioned an initial consultation; this consultation is actually exceedingly important in the process. If you want to get straight teeth at home London, you will need to attend an appointment with our team so that we can assess your misalignment and determine whether or not it can be treated with Invisalign.

If you are a suitable candidate, we will take an intraoral scan of your mouth, which will be sent away to create your aligners.

Aligners arrive

When the aligners arrive, we will be able to have them sent straight to your door. Once you receive the kit, you will need to wear your aligners in the set order that they come in to ensure that the process works effectively.

The aligners may arrive 6 to 8 weeks after your initial consultation with our team, as the treatment process has to be put through a computer simulation to be created, and the aligners need to be 3D printed.

Daily wear

It is also worth noting that if you want to straighten your teeth at home, you will need to download the Invisalign app. This app will be able to guide you on basic questions about daily wear and also give you access to your unique treatment plan notes as set down by our team. So, be sure to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day or as specified by our team.

Selfie time!

Speaking of the app, you will need to use it to send our team weekly photos of your smile while wearing the aligner, not wearing the aligner and wearing cheek retractors. This will allow us to assess whether the process is working as planned or whether there is an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Complications

This is not to say that you are entirely on your own; our team will always be at the end of the phone to answer any concerns you may have. You can also contact us via the Invisalign app if it is not a pressing matter. However, if you lose an aligner, contact us via the phone!
