Achieving and maintaining a beautiful smile with Invisalign

If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth, it is more than likely that you have heard about Invisalign London. Did you know that Invisalign London has become one of the most popular choices of teeth straightening? And with Clear Braces Direct it is now easier than ever before to have beautiful straight teeth. Visit our website and find out why more and more people are using Invisalign London with us. We make the process even more simple and convenient, allowing you to get on with your everyday life, helping you straighten your teeth without spending hours at the dental practice.

Invisalign works using a sequence of clear thermoplastic aligners to replace metal wires and brackets that are found in traditional orthodontic braces. This makes the process easier and more comfortable, but most importantly it means that you can straighten your teeth at your complete discretion. We will find out if Invisalign is the best choice of orthodontic treatment for you and we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan that is suitable for you.

How does Invisalign work?

For optimal results with Invisalign it is important that you follow the guidelines very strictly. This means you have to wear your aligners for approximately 22 hours of the day giving you 2 hours for meal times and cleaning your teeth. You may wish to set a timer on your phone every time you take out your aligners, so that you are aware of how long they have been out of your mouth to make sure that they are not out of your mouth for any longer than they have to be. You will be given a small case in which you can place your aligners when they are out of your mouth. This is more hygienic than putting them in your pocket or leaving them lying around where there is greater chance of losing them. Once you have finished your meal you need to brush your teeth thoroughly, floss between your teeth and if possible rinse with a good mouthwash before placing your aligners back into your mouth. This helps your teeth remain clean and healthy throughout the process. Invisalign can straighten your teeth within 6 to 12 months, but for more complicated cases this may be longer.

Maintaining your new smile

The retention stage is very important for keeping your teeth nice and straight. Once you have completed wearing all your aligners and you are happy with the alignment of your teeth then any attachments can be taken off and we will give you a clear set of retainers very similar to your Invisalign aligners. It is important that you wear your retainers according to the guidelines, otherwise your teeth can begin to move back to their original state. It is also important that you have regular check-ups at our dentist to make sure that your teeth are clean and healthy. You should visit the hygienist regularly to remove excess plaque and tartar from your teeth and by maintaining a good dental hygiene routine at home you will be able to enjoy a happy and beautiful smile for the rest of your life.
