Orthodontic treatment is carried out for both cosmetic purposes and for improving the health of your teeth and gums. At Clear Braces Direct we are pleased to be able to offer you Invisalign London for improving the aesthetic appearance of your smile and also helping to promote better dental health for the rest of your life. Invisalign London is very different to traditional braces. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets which have a wire that is slotted through the brackets and little elastics that hold the wire in place. The wire exerts pressure on the teeth and pushes them into a neater formation. Traditional braces are highly efficient at dealing with complex orthodontic issues. They are commonly seen in teenagers and can help straighten your teeth for the rest of your life.

The majority of adults are reluctant to undergo orthodontic treatment with traditional braces. This is because these braces are highly visible in the mouth. Discreet versions of traditional braces are available at most dental practices which consist of tooth coloured wires and clear brackets, however they are still visible in the mouth. If you are looking for a completely discreet option then Invisalign London could be the perfect solution for you.

How does the treatment work?

To begin with we will carry out an examination of your teeth and gums and look for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease. This will need to be taken care of before you begin straightening your teeth. We will also recommend that you undergo a hygienist appointment if you have not had one within the last 6 months. We will take a 3-D scan of your mouth to create a digital model using Invisalign’s very own software. The software will help us move the teeth and create a neatly aligned smile. The software can then calculate the movements that are necessary to change your teeth from the ‘before’ to the ‘after’ image. This is measured in 0.25 mm steps which are used to create a sequence of clear thermoplastic aligners that are digitally printed to fit your mouth with accuracy and precision. 

The number of aligners that you need will vary from patient to patient. We will tell you exactly how long the treatment will take and the cost of the overall treatment, as well as sending you home with a personalised video of how your teeth can look following successful treatment with Invisalign. This is so that you can take your time to make an informed decision and decide what is best for you. If you are happy to go ahead and straighten your teeth with Invisalign then you can make an online payment and we will order the aligners for you. Each aligner will have your patient number as well as a number which will tell you the sequence that the aligners need to be worn in. Each aligner will move your teeth by 0.25mm over a period of two weeks after which you move on to the next aligner in the series. The aligners have to be kept in your mouth for approximately 20 to 22 hours of the day. This will help you achieve optimal aesthetic results. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Studies show that more than 50% of the population suffer from a certain degree of dental anxiety or dental phobia and almost 20% are so scared of the dentist that they refuse to visit even for essential dental work, causing significant detriment to their teeth and gums and resulting in tooth loss. This means that many patients avoid orthodontic treatment even though it is highly necessary for them. Orthodontic treatment does not only improve the appearance of your smile, but it improves your dental health. Orthodontic treatment helps you smile happily and confidently, promoting good dental health and wellbeing. It also promotes better oral health by allowing you to brush and floss more thoroughly keeping away plaque and tartar from the mouth.

If you have been too scared to undergo orthodontic treatment before, but you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth then you need to find out about Invisalign London.

Invisalign London helps you straighten your teeth without having to visit the dentist very often and without metal wires, brackets or fixed appliances in the mouth.

If so we will carry out a 3-D scan of your mouth that can be manipulated to show you what your teeth will look like following Invisalign treatment. If you are happy with what you see this can then be translated into a sequence of aligners that are 3-D printed for precision and comfort and produce highly pleasing aesthetic results.

Invisalign is different

Invisalign is completely different to traditional orthodontic treatment. There are no wires or brackets; rather Invisalign uses individually tailored, digitally designed and 3-D printed clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten teeth. Most of the treatment is carried out in your own home, we even have an online monitoring app so that you do not have to visit the dental practice. We can give you feedback online and we can make sure that the process is coming along successfully.

Digital dentistry

To begin with we will show you a digital image of how your teeth can be transformed using Invisalign. This works by carrying out a three-dimensional scan of your mouth and changing the position of the teeth to create a neatly aligned smile. This helps us calculate how long the treatment will take, how many aligners you will need and the cost of the full treatment. Once you have all the information we can give you a personalised video to take home so that you can make an informed decision. Once you decide, the aligners can be with you within 2 to 3 weeks. So what are you waiting for? Book a consultation in London or Newcastle today and improve the appearance of your smile very soon.

Teeth straightening helps you achieve a beautiful smile that is attractive and can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. Teeth straightening can also affect your dental health. Misalignment issues of the teeth affect a significant percentage of the adult population and if left untreated over the years it can cause uneven wear and tear of your teeth. It can result in increased levels of plaque and tartar which means a greater chance of developing cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. If you avoid the dentist then gum disease can progress to periodontal disease and can cause tooth loss as well as other health complications. This is because it is difficult to clean crooked and wonky teeth in comparison to teeth that are straight and neatly aligned. Plaque and bacteria remain in those hard-to-reach areas, multiplying and resulting in a range of unpleasant symptoms such as swollen gums, bleeding gums, sensitivity and bad breath which are all signs of gum disease and periodontal disease.

Misalignment issues of the teeth also create extra stress on teeth and jaws, again causing wear and tear, chips and fractures, as well as headaches and jaw pain. If your teeth are neatly aligned and fit together correctly then they are less prone to developing dental health issues such as cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. You can increase the longevity of your teeth and reduce the need for complicated dental treatment in the future.

Invisalign aligners

Invisalign aligners are designed and manufactured using the latest in digital dental technology.  The aligners work as a series and the number of aligners you need varies from patient to patient depending on your individual dental needs. They are comfortable to wear and fit onto your teeth with accuracy and precision. They are designed to be smooth and flexible so that they can be taken out of your mouth and replaced easily. They will not cause any cuts or sores, rather they are reported to be easy to become accustomed to. Each aligner is numbered for your convenience and you move onto the next aligner in the series after two or three weeks depending on your individual treatment plan. To achieve the best results, the aligners need to be kept in your mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day. It is best to only remove the aligners at mealtimes, after which you can clean your teeth thoroughly and replace the aligners in your mouth. The aligners themselves are also very easy to clean and maintain, you can brush them in warm soapy water, rinse them and put them back in your mouth.

In comparison to traditional orthodontic braces, Invisalign can straighten your teeth in 6 to 12 months. If you have complex needs then it can take up to 18 months and by using a retainer once you complete the process, you can maintain a beautiful, healthy smile for the rest of your life. Invisalign has its very own retainer system and you will be provided with a retainer which will be very similar to the last aligner in your series and this will help keep your smile perfectly aligned so that your teeth do not start to move back into their original positions.  The entire process can be monitored on our online monitoring app and you will have access to our expert advice at all times. To find out more about straightening your teeth quickly and conveniently you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and let us put together an Invisalign treatment plan for you.

Who needs Invisalign?

Invisalign is ideal for patients who have moderate orthodontic needs. It can be used to improve the appearance of crooked and wonky teeth. It can help align overlapping or overcrowded teeth. It can be used to correct the appearance and alignment of protruding front teeth and it can also be used to close minor gaps between the teeth. If your orthodontic needs are more complex, then we may recommend a combined treatment plan. This means you may have to begin with a different type of braces to initiate the process and move on to Invisalign later on or you may have to undergo dental surgery, or a tooth extraction, depending on your individual requirements. If you follow the procedure correctly then the process itself takes approximately 6 to 12 months in those with mild or moderate needs, but with patients who have more complex needs it can take 12 to 18 months.

Comfortable aligners

There are many advantages of Invisalign in comparison to other orthodontic treatments which is why it is so popular worldwide. Most people worry that orthodontic treatment is painful. Moving your teeth with any type of braces is bound to cause a bit of discomfort, but with Invisalign the discomfort is significantly less than with others. Some patients may wish to take paracetamol on the day they begin the treatment, but 90% of patients are fine without any medication. It is reported that the aligners are easy to become accustomed to and if you begin the process before you go to sleep at night then by the time you wake up in the morning the aligners should fit your teeth comfortably. Each aligner needs to be changed every two weeks and you move onto the next aligner in the series, so again if you do this at bedtime then by the time you wake up in the morning the aligners should feel natural in your mouth. The aligners themselves are easy to remove and replace for added convenience. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Many people avoid orthodontic treatment because they are scared by traditional braces. Traditional braces use brackets and wires that are fixed to the surface of your teeth to straighten your teeth into a neater formation. The brackets are glued onto each individual tooth and the wire is slotted through the brackets and the components are tightened on regular intervals to move your teeth until they form a neatly aligned smile correcting complex orthodontic issues in an average of 12 to 24 months. Traditional braces are the most affordable option for those who are looking to straighten their teeth, but with the availability of payment plans you can consider other options which may be more to your taste.

Invisalign

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are pleased to be able to offer you Invisalign London. Whilst traditional braces are better suited for those with complex orthodontic needs, if you have mild or moderate orthodontic issues then you can speak to us at Clear Braces Direct about Invisalign which helps improve the aesthetics of your smile and improve your dental health at the same time. Clear Braces Direct is a modern method of teeth straightening. It uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth and the aligners are designed to work in a sequence. Each patient will have a different number of aligners depending on their individual dental needs. The aligners themselves need to be worn for two weeks at a time before you move on to the next aligner in the series.

Removable aligners

Invisalign aligners are removable which means that they are highly convenient, ideal for the modern generation. They do not impose any restrictions and you can take them out of your mouth and replace them as necessary, although ideally you should wear them consistently for optimal results. You need to keep the aligners in your mouth for a total of 20 to 22 hours of the day giving you 2 to 4 hours for meal times and cleaning your teeth.

Advantages of Invisalign

You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and book a free consultation so that we can find out if Invisalign is the best choice for you. Invisalign is modern, highly comfortable and convenient. Best of all it is completely discreet. This means that you can straighten your teeth and not even your closest friends have to know about it. It can be your secret.

Invisalign works using individually tailored 3-D printed thermoplastic aligners. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment. Traditionally braces are made of metal wires and brackets that are fixed to the surface of your teeth. These types of braces are very good at teeth straightening, however they are very noticeable and do draw attention to your mouth. They also have to be worn for a long period of time and you require regular appointments with the orthodontist to adjust the braces throughout the treatment. In contrast, Invisalign is carried out in the comfort of your own home and you will spend minimum time at a dental clinic or in the dentist’s chair. The total length of the procedure is also shorter with Invisalign than it is with traditional braces. Traditional metal braces require between 18 and 24 months whilst the average treatment time with Invisalign is 12 months to straighten your teeth.

How does it work?

At the initial appointment you will have a full smile assessment including a 3-D scan of your mouth to create a digital image of your teeth. This is manipulated to show what your teeth can look like once they have been straightened with Invisalign. If you like what you see, then we can order a series of aligners that will work together to apply pressure to your teeth and gently force them into their new position. Different patients require a different number of aligners. Some patients can straighten their teeth with as little as 7 aligners if they have minor issues whilst others with more complex orthodontic needs may require 20 to 30 aligners to straighten their teeth. Each aligner has to be worn for approximately two weeks at a time and we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. Book a consultation with us at Clear Braces Direct today and you could receive your aligners within a few weeks. The sooner you begin the process the fewer complications you will face in the future, as crooked and wonky teeth not only look less attractive, but also have a lot of negative implications for your dental health. By straightening your teeth you will have a healthy and happy smile to show off to the world.

If you have crooked or wonky teeth, it is likely that you are unhappy with your smile. This can affect your confidence and your overall mindset. It can prevent you from reaching your maximum potential in a social situation as well as in your profession, and in turn it can affect your general mien. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. Do not let your teeth affect your life any more. Thanks to advances in dental technology, straightening your teeth to achieve a beautifully aligned smile is easier than ever before.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we can make the process even more simple for you. We are a Diamond Apex Invisalign provider and we have helped correct more than 6000 smiles using Invisalign London. If you visit our website and book a consultation then we will be happy to offer you a free 3-dimensional iTero scan that will show you the steps that your teeth will go through and how your teeth will look following successful treatment with Invisalign London. These steps will then be translated into a series of aligners which you wear to straighten your teeth. Invisalign aligners are made of clear, BPA-free thermoplastic and are almost invisible when they are worn in your mouth. They can help you straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your mouth. This means that they are a great alternative to traditional braces, especially for those who are already unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. Aligners are also more comfortable than traditional metal braces. They will fit smoothly and securely over your teeth as they are digitally designed and 3D printed. This means there should be little to no chance of developing cuts or sores in the mouth, rather they should fit like a glove.

A brand new smile in only 3 appointments

In comparison to traditional orthodontic treatment, Invisalign is also more convenient. Firstly you spend significantly less time at the dentist. Here at Clear Braces Direct we can complete your treatment in as little as 3 appointments. This includes the initial consultation where we will put together a treatment plan for you. Next you will visit us for the initial fitting allowing us to place attachments on to your teeth for better teeth straightening. You can go through the Invisalign process by yourself in the comfort of your own home, changing the aligners every two weeks. We can monitor your progress online, providing feedback as necessary. Finally you can visit us at the end of the treatment for teeth whitening to complete the transformation of your dental aesthetics and also to order a set of retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile. We are conveniently located in London and Newcastle so you can book an appointment that is suitable for you.

Invisalign London is a modern and successful method of teeth straightening that can produce excellent aesthetic results in a short period of time. It is ideal for busy lifestyles when you do not want to spend hours in the dentist’s chair. Most of the process is carried out from the comfort of your own home and thanks to advances in digital technology the progress of your treatment can also be monitored online. If this sounds ideal for you then you need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct. We want to make the process as easy for you as possible. This is because we understand that despite there being plenty of options available, many people still avoid teeth straightening because they think it will be a complicated or difficult process.

Does Invisalign hurt?

A question that we are asked all the time is: does Invisalign hurt? The truth is Invisalign London is not completely pain-free, but it consists of moving your teeth from a misaligned position into a neat formation, therefore it is normal for there to be a certain extent of discomfort. Invisalign London works as a series of aligners. Every time you move on to the next aligner in the series your mouth may feel sore, because the aligners will be tight to begin with. The best way to address this is to change your aligner before you go to sleep at night. If you wake up 8 hours later than your mouth should have become accustomed to the feeling and you can get on with the rest of your day as normal. Even though you need to remove your aligners before eating or drinking, you may also find at first it is difficult to eat a lot of hard or chewy food and you may prefer softer foods or food that requires less chewing. Again this should subside very quickly and you should be able to eat and drink as you wish. Invisalign is known for being comfortable and convenient and in comparison to traditional orthodontic methods it truly is.

Looking after your aligners

The aligners need to be kept in your mouth for at least 22 hours a day for 2 weeks at a time. If you are unable to adhere to the guidelines then this will affect the end results. If you lose or damage an aligner then this can also affect the treatment process. By setting a timer every time you remove the aligners from your mouth you can monitor whether or not you are wearing them for long enough. To avoid losing your aligners you should keep them in the handy travel case that you are provided with when they are out of your mouth. This is also more hygienic and will prevent your aligners from getting damaged. It is important that you keep in touch with us through the app so that we can monitor your progress and make sure that the treatment is coming along successfully and within approximately a year you should have a neatly aligned smile. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today and let us put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you.
