If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and learn more about Invisalign London. Invisalign London helps you straighten your teeth at your convenience and at your discretion. It is ideal for patients who avoided orthodontic treatment earlier in their life, because they were not too keen on having traditional braces. Invisalign London is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and can achieve similar results without brackets and wires.

Invisalign aligners

Invisalign uses clear, removable thermoplastic aligners which are designed to fit snugly onto your teeth and move them into a neater formation. Each of these aligners is worn for about 22 hours of the day and changed every two to three weeks depending on your prescription. There is minimal discomfort with Invisalign aligners in comparison to traditional orthodontic braces. You may feel tightness when you first wear a new set of aligners, but within approximately 12 hours you should become accustomed to the feeling. If you are in any pain or discomfort then you can always take paracetamol and another great tip is to change your aligner before you go to sleep at night, so that by the time you wake up in the morning they fit more comfortably.

Removable aligners

As the aligners are removable, Invisalign gives you the option to eat and drink all your favourite foods unlike traditional braces. You are also able to maintain excellent dental hygiene practices as you would have done before beginning orthodontic treatment. The aligners are also very convenient in that they can be cleaned easily using an ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste before placing them back in your mouth. It is important that you wear the aligners for as long as possible to achieve the full benefits.

Discreet aligners

Another great advantage of Invisalign and perhaps the main reason why it is so popular amongst patients across the world, is that the aligners are highly discreet in contrast to traditional braces and you can smile confidently without having to worry about how your teeth look.

There are different treatment plans here at Clear Braces Direct to meet your individual dental requirements and we also offer financing options to help make the treatment more affordable. Speak to us today. We will take into consideration your personal preferences, your orthodontic needs and your individual circumstances to help you decide if Invisalign is the right option for you or whether traditional braces would be more suitable. Both types of braces can address a wide range of orthodontic issues; therefore, even if your dental needs are complex we can put together a tailored treatment plan with Invisalign. You will be able to straighten your teeth in as little as 6 months or for more complex needs between 12 and 18 months.

Visit our website and book a consultation at your convenience at one of our central locations. The sooner you begin your journey to straighter teeth the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of a neatly aligned smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Invisalign London is a modern method of teeth straightening suitable for patients of all ages with different types of orthodontic needs. Invisalign London works using a series of clear plastic aligners that are designed to straighten your teeth without metal brackets and wires. The aligners need to be worn in your mouth for approximately 22 hours a day for two weeks at a time and then they are replaced with the next aligner in the series. During this time the aligner should move your teeth by approximately 0.2 to 0.25 millimetres. As you work your way through the series the aligners will gradually straighten your teeth and help you achieve a neatly aligned smile that is not only pleasant and attractive, but also helps you enjoy better dental health.

Invisalign London works differently to traditional braces. The aligners will only apply a certain amount of force to the teeth and then they will stop working, after which you need to replace the aligner. This means that it is very important that you are responsible and wear the aligners as instructed for the time recommended and that you replace the aligners at the prescribed time and not earlier or later. The replacement process itself is very easy, although it can take a few hours to become accustomed to the new aligner. With traditional braces the components do not need to be changed, rather they are tightened at regular intervals to continue to apply pressure to your teeth.

Advantages of these invisible aligners

Invisalign is very popular because the aligners are almost invisible in your mouth in comparison to traditional braces that are very prominent and usually draw attention to your teeth. Most people assume that Invisalign is for the older demographic who are looking for discreet teeth straightening, however, teenagers are excellent candidates if looking for a teeth straightening option that does not draw unwanted stares to the mouth.

The aligners are very convenient and allow you to practise correct dental hygiene as you remove the aligners when you brush your teeth. They also need to be taken out at meal times so that they do not become damaged and this helps you to enjoy all your favourite food and drink.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we understand that you may have a busy, hectic lifestyle and do not want to spend hours at the dental practice. You will visit us for the initial consultation. If you wish to go ahead with Invisalign then we will order your aligners and book you in for an initial fitting. After this you can continue with the treatment in the comfort of your own home, updating us on your progress using our Clear Braces Direct monitoring app. When the process is complete you need to be fitted for an Invisalign retainer. The Invisalign retainer will be very similar in shape to your last aligner although it is made of a more sturdy and thicker plastic to hold the teeth in place so that they do not relapse. We are also pleased to be able to offer you complementary teeth whitening to complete your smile makeover. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and begin your journey to a beautiful new smile today.

Invisalign London is a safe, effective and modern method of correcting the misalignment issues of your teeth. If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign London. Invisalign London can be used for mild, moderate or complex orthodontic issues of the teeth. The aligners can be used by teenagers, young adults and older adults. You will be pleased to know that there is no upper limit with Invisalign.

Clear Invisalign aligners

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth then it is likely that you do not want to draw further attention to your mouth and this is where Invisalign is the ideal solution for you. It is a discreet method of teeth straightening in comparison to other orthodontic braces. It uses 3D-printed, clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth. Clear aligners have become popular over the last few decades thanks to Invisalign. Invisalign has pioneered clear aligners and since then different companies have also created different brands of clear aligners. However, Invisalign still remains the most popular by far. In just over 20 years, it has already helped to correct 14 million smiles across the world. Here at Clear Braces Direct alone we have treated almost 7,000 patients. This has put us in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in the whole of Europe. We are a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign, therefore if you are considering straightening your teeth with Invisalign then we are the best place for you to do so.

Simple and convenient teeth straightening

We have tried to make the process as simple and as convenient for our patients as we possibly can. You can visit us at our Newcastle location or our London location or you can have an initial consultation online if that is more suitable for you. We will assess your orthodontic needs and make sure that Invisalign is suitable for you. We will then carry out a three-dimensional scan of your mouth that we will use to show you how your teeth can move with Invisalign and what the end result will be. You will be able to take this video home and decide in your own time how you would like to proceed.

If you wish to undergo teeth straightening with Invisalign then you will make an online payment and a series of individually tailored aligners will be designed for you according to your scan results. These aligners can be delivered directly to your address or they will be delivered to us and you will visit us for your initial fitting. This is because you may need attachments placed onto your teeth for better tooth movements. After your initial fitting you are able to continue with the process in the comfort of your own home. Each aligner needs to be worn for approximately 22 hours of the day for two weeks and then you move on to the next aligner in this series until you complete all the aligners. The number of aligners that you need will vary on a case-to-case basis. We have different treatment plans to meet your unique dental needs. You will share your progress with us through our Clear Braces Direct online monitoring app and once completed we will clean your teeth, whiten them and create an Invisalign retainer to maintain your brand-new smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Invisalign London has become an increasingly popular option over the years for realigning patients’ smiles. Many people choose to opt for clear aligners over traditional metal braces if they have mild to moderate alignment issues. While Invisalign can be a great option for some people, it may not be the right treatment if you have more complex alignment issues. At Clear Braces Direct, we have over 16 years of experience of treating over 6,000 patients with Invisalign London. We can treat patients with mild to moderate issues such as crooked or misaligned teeth, overbite or underbite, gaps between teeth, and crowded teeth. We offer a more remote service to save you time and money through the use of our ClinCheck app, which allows us to monitor your progress more frequently than other dental practices may do, keeping an eye on what’s happening each week, rather than every 6 weeks. We also only call you in for a face-to-face appointment when it’s absolutely necessary based on this monitoring and we can get excellent results in as little as 3 to 4 months, even for more comprehensive treatment issues.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually improve the appearance of your teeth. The aligners are made bespoke for each patient using our 3D digital scan with iTero technology, which we deliver for free, before you embark upon your Invisalign treatment. With this scan, we can generate images of what your teeth will look like throughout your treatment, including the final result. We also obtain the measurements for your aligners to be manufactured for you. You will be required to wear the aligners for a couple of weeks, before changing to new ones, and we will send these directly to your door.

Advantages of Invisalign

One of the main advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible, making them a more discreet option than traditional braces. This can give you more confidence to wear the aligners in public as nobody else should realise that you are having treatment. The aligners are also removable, which means that you can take them out at mealtimes, so you won’t have to worry about avoiding any foods that could damage them. Also, you will be able to continue brushing and flossing as normal, without having to contend with having anything in your mouth as you are doing so.

Another advantage of Invisalign is that the treatment process is often faster than other appliances, especially if you come to us at Clear Braces Direct. This enables you to save money and time. What’s not to love about that?!

Considerations before choosing Invisalign

While Invisalign may be a great option for some people, there are a few factors to consider before choosing this treatment such as the cost. At Clear Braces Direct, however, we aim to provide comprehensive Invisalign treatment for a fraction of the normal costs, because Dr Tinker is able to achieve results quicker than other dentists who may not have been treating patients for as long as he has. You must also be willing to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day in order to achieve the results as quickly as possible. You must also ensure that you change the aligners every couple of weeks, as directed. If you have more complex issues, it may be that Invisalign is not the right treatment option for your specific needs and we will be able to advise you of this, before you embark upon the Invisalign treatment.

To find out if Invisalign is the right treatment option for your specific needs, why not book a consultation with us at Clear Braces Direct and start finding the right treatment for you? It’s the only way to start getting the smile you deserve to have.

It’s highly likely that if you have been feeling fed up with the appearance of your misaligned teeth, then you will have come across Invisalign London when looking for a treatment to address the issue. Invisalign London is a suitable treatment for mild to moderate issues and, at Clear Braces Direct, we offer a fast and effective service. With results achieved in as little as 3 to 4 months and a remote service that drastically reduces the number of times you need to come and see us, you can achieve fantastic results quickly and more affordably.

How Invisalign works

Invisalign treatment starts with a free iTero digital scan of your mouth. This enables us to see what measurements are required to have your aligners made bespoke for you. We also use this to create an animation of what your end result will be for your smile and this information feeds into our app, ClinCheck, where we will be able to also show you on a weekly basis where your teeth should be. We will review your progress remotely each week and we will only call you in for a check up if you need one.

Based on your treatment plan, a series of clear plastic aligners will be custom-made for you. Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth gradually into the desired position. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks and we will send more, straight to your door! The aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours per day, only being removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. This means that you won’t need to avoid any foods you love and you will be able to keep up with your brushing and flossing as normal.

Benefits of Invisalign

One of the most significant advantages of choosing Invisalign is that Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. This is because they are produced using a transparent plastic, so only your teeth should be noticeable, when you are wearing them. With the aligners being bespoke to each patient, it enables the aligners to fit the teeth perfectly and act as effectively as possible. Our dentist, Dr Graham Tinker, has over 16 years of experience and has treated over 6,000 patients in that time. He is therefore highly skilled at delivering treatment and is able to deliver results in a quicker time frame normally associated with the Lite version of Invisalign. Invisalign offers different ranges, such as the comprehensive range, Invisalign Teen and Invisalign Lite. The Lite is for the least serious alignment issues, however, Dr Tinker can treat more complex cases in the same amount of time. This saves patients time and money for their dental treatment.

Another advantage of Invisalign treatment is that the trays can be used as teeth whitening trays, once the treatment is over. We will provide you with the teeth whitening gel as part of our treatment package. This means that once you have your beautifully aligned smile, you will also be able to get your teeth gleaming too, finishing off your look in style!

So, if you are interested in finding out more about Invisalign, contact us at Clear Braces Direct and we look forward to helping you get a wonderful smile that will make you feel better about smiling for life!

If you’re considering getting treatment to realign your teeth, then you may have heard of Invisalign London. Invisalign London is a modern treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to move your teeth into position. While Invisalign is a popular treatment internationally, the average treatment time for the comprehensive Invisalign treatment is normally cited as 6 to 18 months. At Clear Braces Direct, we offer a comprehensive treatment in as little as 3 to 4 months on average, saving you both time and money. Our dentist, Dr Graham Tinker, has over 16 years of experience and has treated over 6000 patients, enabling him to deliver the most efficient treatment possible. Here are the reasons we think you’ll love Invisalign.

1. Clear and discreet

Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for those who may not want other people to realise they are having treatment. This is a treatment that should give you the confidence to wear Invisalign in any type of social situation or workplace. Designed for adults and teenagers, Invisalign can be your best kept secret, if you can resist the temptation to reveal all!

2. Comfortable

Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth plastic, which means that they shouldn’t cause any irritation to your cheeks or gums. Without any brackets or wires, Invisalign’s aligners should also be very difficult to break, meaning that you won’t need to have any emergency appointments.

3. Removable

One of the biggest advantages is that you will be able to remove your aligners. This makes it easier to brush and floss your teeth, and to continue eating whatever foods you wish to consume. There will be no dietary restrictions and you should be able to maintain good oral hygiene as well.

4. Custom-made

Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient using advanced computer imaging technology. At Clear Braces Direct, we offer a free iTero digital scan at the start of the treatment, so that we can obtain the measurements we need to have your bespoke aligners manufactured. It also enables us to generate a video of what your teeth will look like by the end of the treatment. We will also include weekly images on the ClinCheck app, which we will use to monitor your progress on a weekly basis, only inviting you in for a checkup if your progress isn’t as expected.

5. Effective

Invisalign aligners work by pushing your teeth into the target position. Each set of aligners should be worn for around 2 weeks as direct. We will send your aligners to you, so you won’t have to come in to collect more.

6. Versatile

Invisalign can be used to treat a wide variety of issues, including overcrowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. This means that patients with different types of dental misalignments can benefit from Invisalign treatment.

7. Short treatment time

While you may be happy to wait 6 to 18 months for your treatment with another dental practice, this could end up costing you more money. At Clear Braces Direct, we aim to keep the costs low and the standard of treatment high, so that your Invisalign journey should only take around half of the normal time.

8. Fewer visits

Although we love to see you, our aim is to ensure that you only come in to see us when you really need to. Our ClinCheck app ensures that your progress is monitored far more frequently as well, while you stay home.

9. Predictable results

With our iTero technology, we can create a precise treatment plan. You will have a clear vision of what to expect and we can monitor you to ensure this is achieved.

10. Confidence boost

Finally, one of the most significant advantages of Invisalign is the confidence boost that it can provide. Many patients can have low self-esteem and may avoid smiling or speaking in public because of it. Invisalign treatment could change all of that with us at Clear Braces Direct. What are you waiting for? Contact us to start your treatment with us.

If you’ve been feeling worried about having misaligned teeth, you may be dreaming of the day when you can look in the mirror and not feel disappointed by your smile. At Clear Braces Direct, we want you to feel nothing but joy about your smile and we have helped over 6000 patients to achieve this with Invisalign London. In fact, our dentist has over 16 years of experience in helping patients, from teenagers through to adults, to achieve wonderful smiles. The best thing about our service is that you can get results for realigning mild to moderate alignment issues in as little as 3 to 4 months and you shouldn’t need to come for check ups, saving you both time and money. This is a convenient service we offer thanks to our ClinCheck app that allows us to remotely monitor your progress on a weekly basis, rather than having to invite you in unnecessarily every 6 weeks to tell you that all is A-OK!

Convenience of Invisalign

One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign London is its convenience. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for people who don’t want their orthodontic treatment to be noticeable. This is especially important for adults who may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces in professional or social situations, or young people in a school setting. Invisalign aligners are also removable, which makes it easier for you to eat, brush, and floss without having to navigate around an appliance in your mouth. By being able to remove your aligners, it also means that you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods and maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

Another advantage of choosing Invisalign with us at Clear Braces Direct is the fact that we offer a free iTero digital scan at the start of your treatment. We use this to get the measurements required for your aligners to be made bespoke for you. We can also produce an animation of what your teeth will look like after the treatment has finished, and you will be able to check on a weekly basis on the app, where your teeth will be positioned as well.

Quick results with Invisalign

In addition to being convenient, Invisalign treatment can also produce quick results. However, dentists normally advise 6 to 18 months on average for the comprehensive treatment, rather than the Lite, which gains results in 3 to 4 months. Our pledge of 3 to 4 months is based on comprehensive treatment for more complex cases. This is because our very own Dr Graham Tinker is highly skilled and experienced, and he is therefore able to provide the highest level of care in the most time-efficient manner, saving you both time and money. Invisalign aligners work by applying a small amount of pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, before being replaced with the next set in the series. We will send these directly to you at home for your convenience. Once your treatment is completed, you can then use your last tray for home whitening and we will provide you with the whitening gel to put into it to maximise the effect of your beautiful smile.

So, if you are looking to get your teeth realigned, be smart and contact us at Clear Braces Direct.

If you have mild to moderate alignment issues, then you may have been considering getting your teeth realigned. You may have realised that there are a number of different options available from dental practices, including fixed metal braces, lingual braces, and aligners. At Clear Braces Direct, we have Invisalign London that can achieve results in as little as 3-4 months. However, that’s not all! We can deliver your treatment for the majority of this time in the comfort of your own home! We have treated over 6,000 patients with Invisalign London, and we have over 16 years of experience in doing so. This means that we know how to deliver the best treatment most effectively. Invisalign offers a Lite range that achieves results in this timeframe; however, it only addresses very mild issues. We offer the comprehensive treatment in the same length of time, costing you less money for the best results.

Why should I consider Invisalign?

One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are practically invisible when worn. This means you can realign your smile without anyone knowing. If you think you may feel self-conscious having a visible appliance in your mouth, then Invisalign could be the way to go for you. The aligners apply a small amount of pressure to push your teeth into the correct position and each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. Before your treatment begins, we will need you to come in to have a free iTero scan of your mouth, which will give us the exact measurements required for your aligners to be made bespoke for you. After this, we will send you your aligners to change between every couple of weeks, and we will review your progress weekly on our ClinCheck app. We will then only invite you in for a checkup if we feel that this is required, saving you time and money as you won’t have any unnecessary appointments.

Another benefit of choosing Invisalign is the fact that the aligners are removable, which means you can eat, drink, and brush your teeth without any restrictions. The benefit of Invisalign is that you won’t have any metal wires or brackets, which can sometimes cause irritation. The aligners are made from a smooth and comfortable plastic that shouldn’t irritate your mouth or cause sore spots.

Bespoke care

Although you won’t need to come in and see us as often as other dental practices, this doesn’t mean that you are receiving less care. With our app, it allows us to keep an eye on you more regularly than simply inviting you in for a checkup every 6 weeks. Instead, we will be checking up on you on a weekly basis. This bespoke care is carried out from the beginning of your Invisalign journey, all the way through to the end. Once you finish having your treatment, your final tray can then be used for home teeth whitening and we will also provide you with the gel to put in the trays to do this and to achieve your final Hollywood smile! So, if you want to find a treatment that can save you time and money, allowing you the convenience of staying home or in the office more, then come and see us at Clear Braces Direct.

If you are looking to improve the appearance of your smile, there are many different options that are available for you. One of the most common complaints that patients have is that they are troubled by yellow teeth or teeth staining. Yellow teeth can be embarrassing and, despite good brushing, it can be difficult to remove stains from the surface of your teeth. There are different types of stains; intrinsic stains and extrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are the most common types of stains and here at clear braces direct we are able to offer teeth whitening which will help remove the stains and improve the appearance of your smile. Teeth whitening is carried out using a bleaching agent of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide; this works by breaking down stain molecules on the surface of your teeth to reveal the white enamel underneath.

Teeth whitening with clear braces direct

If you are looking to whiten your teeth then you can book a consultation here at clear braces direct. You can upload a selfie and we can let you know what type of stains you have. Afterwards, you will be invited for an intra oral scan so that we can create an accurate whitening tray for your mouth. You will be provided with a teeth whitening gel which is inserted into the tray, and the tray is worn over your teeth for a prescribed period of time. This way you can break down surface stains in the comfort of your own home gently and safely, resulting in a beautiful white smile.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses clear aligners that are worn over your teeth and these apply a small amount of pressure to gradually push them into the correct position. The aligners are virtually invisible when they are being worn and they are removable too, so you won’t need to change your diet and you will be able to continue cleaning your teeth properly. Our dentist, Dr Graham Tinkler, is highly experienced in using Invisalign London and is able to provide the treatment you need to get the results that are achievable with the comprehensive Invisalign aligners, but only by using the Lite version.

Remote monitoring system

To prevent you from having to come and see us every 6 weeks to receive more aligners, which you will need to change between every couple of weeks as directed, we offer a remote monitoring service. This works by using an Invisalign ClinCheck app that you can simply download onto your smartphone and we therefore remove the need for any unnecessary appointments. We will review this on a weekly basis and we will only call you in for an appointment if you need one based on this check. You will of course also need to come in to see us at the start of your treatment; this is so that we can scan your mouth to ascertain the measurements we need for your Invisalign aligners to be made bespoke for you, using iTero technology. We offer this scan for free, so you won’t have to pay a penny for this part of the process. Using this scan, we can also show you an animation of what your teeth will look like after you have finished your treatment. This can be extremely exciting and motivating for you as you set out on your Invisalign journey! At the end of the treatment, you will also come to see us in person to have photographs taken of your smile and to celebrate how wonderful you look!
