If you have misaligned teeth as an adult, you have probably researched the most effective and discreet ways to straighten them.

And you have probably come across invisible aligners in your research. While not a new idea, in the last few years invisible aligners have boomed in dental surgeries and in popularity with adult and teenage patients alike.

At Clear Braces Direct, we are proud to be able to offer suitable patients Invisalign London. One of the most popular of all invisible aligners, this aligner offers discretion, faster treatment and striking results. Great!

But before you contact us about this treatment, you will probably have some questions that you would like answered. In the following FAQs, our team answers the most common questions that we receive about Invisalign London.

How do invisible aligners work?

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign London works due to its unique and custom-fitted shape.

Before you begin treatment with this aligner, our team will take a 3D scan of your teeth to get an accurate image.

Uploaded to a computer, these photographs will then be used to plan your treatment with the invisible aligners. Each stage will be mapped and predicted, allowing us to ascertain how many aligners will be needed and the exact movements that your teeth will need to undertake.

Once this is completed, the aligners will be printed using a 3D printer. And each aligner will need to be worn for around 2 weeks at a time to gradually move your teeth.

Are they uncomfortable to wear?

Many patients who have worn braces in their childhood or teenage years state that invisible aligners are more comfortable. This is probably because invisible aligners do not require tightening or adjusting in the same way that braces do.

But it is important to note that your aligners are designed to move your teeth and so, some pressure and discomfort should be expected during the treatment. To manage this discomfort, we recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol.

How long will I need to wear them?

The duration of your treatment with invisible aligners depends on the severity of the issue being corrected and how often you wear the aligners.

Typically, you will need to wear the aligners for around 22 hours per day, or as directed by our team. Failure to do so will result in your teeth reverting to their former positions or can halt any movement of the teeth altogether, which can cause delays to the realignment or can create tracking issues with the next aligner in the sequence.

So, keep them in!

Will they be able to fix my overbite?

As suggested before, any aligner or brace may or may not be suitable to correct a misalignment based on the severity of condition presented.

So if you have an extreme overbite, an invisible aligner may not be suitable to correct it and you may need to have a fitted brace.

Are they expensive?

At Clear Braces Direct, we may be able to offer you 0% financing options so you can spread the cost of your treatment with invisible aligners. For more information contact our team.

Much research and development has been carried out in the field of orthodontics over the last few decades. This has been accompanied by an increase in demand for cosmetic dental treatments and patients are looking for alternatives to conventional orthodontic treatment for teeth straightening. More and more people are looking to improve the aesthetic appearance of their smile, but show a strong reluctance towards using conventional orthodontics.

Although highly effective at teeth straightening, conventional orthodontic braces are highly visible in the mouth and draw further attention to the teeth. This seems to be the major concern amongst patients who are seeking orthodontic treatment. To overcome this issue, significant research has been carried out into materials and techniques which can help address the misalignment issues of your teeth discreetly and conveniently.

Here at Clear Braces Direct we are proud to offer you Invisalign London to address the misalignment issues of your teeth, achieve a beautiful smile and boost your dental health at the same time.

The disadvantages of misaligned teeth

Misaligned teeth which are crooked, wonky, overlapping or protruding are more prone to dental issues and damage. They are more difficult to clean as there are plenty of hard-to-reach areas in which bacteria may be hiding despite good brushing techniques. When bacteria remains in the mouth it causes many dental issues. You may have excessive build-up of plaque and the formation of tartar, and this can result in cavities and tooth decay. Over time, if you do not visit the dentist then you may have irreversible damage done to your teeth and eventually this can result in tooth loss.

Advantages of neatly aligned teeth

Here at our practice we can offer Invisalign clear braces to help improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth and promote better oral health at the same time. It is much easier to maintain good dental hygiene when your teeth are neatly aligned. Your toothbrush is able to reach all the surfaces of your teeth, whilst floss is able to clean in between the gaps of your teeth, therefore, there is less chance of bacteria being able to linger in the mouth. Your mouth will remain fresh, clean and healthy and with regular visits to the dentist you can keep your teeth free of disease for longer and hopefully for the rest of your life.

An individually tailored treatment plan for you

If you have good dental health, but you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth then take a selfie and upload it to our website. Leave your details so that we can contact you and book an appointment to help you find out more about Invisalign and how it can help improve your smile. We will carry out an assessment of your teeth to make sure that this is the correct choice of treatment for you.

We will then use these scan results to put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you and you will either undergo the Invisalign Comprehensive treatment or the Invisalign Lite treatment depending on your dental requirements. Contact us today to find out more.

In the last two decades Invisalign London has established itself firmly in the field of cosmetic dentistry as one of the most successful procedures for teeth straightening. It is a highly attractive alternative to conventional orthodontic treatment which is still the most effective method of teeth straightening, but comes with a few setbacks too. Conventional orthodontic treatment is carried out using fixed dental braces which are attached to the surfaces of your teeth and are highly visible in the mouth. They are avoided by the majority of adults and even the teenagers of today are looking for more discreet treatment options. Many people feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about metal dental braces and do not like to draw further attention to their mouth when their teeth may already be affecting the way they feel about their appearance.

Advantages of Invisalign

With Invisalign you are able to achieve a beautiful smile at your discretion without anyone having to know that you are undergoing dental treatment unless you want them to. Invisalign works using clear thermoplastic aligners which, as the name suggests, are almost invisible in your mouth. The aligners are not attached to your teeth, they are removable and can be taken out and replaced as necessary. They do not have any impact on your lifestyle or eating habits as they need to be removed at mealtimes anyway.

Each aligner needs to be worn for approximately two weeks at a time and kept in the mouth for around 22 hours of the day. This will vary slightly from patient to patient, but this is the way they generally work. They are very easy to clean and you remove the aligners to brush your teeth, therefore, you are able to maintain a good dental hygiene routine whilst undergoing treatment with Invisalign. With traditional orthodontic braces the brackets and wires prevent your brush from reaching all the surfaces of your teeth and can affect your dental hygiene routine, but with Invisalign this is something you do not have to worry about.

The number of aligners that you will need to achieve the smile that you are looking for will depend on how crooked or wonky your teeth are to begin with. Average treatment times are approximately 6 to 12 months. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more about Invisalign and let us put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

First approved in the USA in 1999, Invisalign London was introduced to Europe and the UK in 2001. Since then it has received an excellent reception and has firmly established a leading position in cosmetic dental treatment. Invisalign London was initially designed for the treatment of low to moderate crowding of the teeth and to close small spaces. However, ongoing research and development has allowed Invisalign London to be successfully used in the treatment of more complicated orthodontic cases. Currently, it is one of the most popular choices of aligners in the world. Here at Clear Braces Direct we are a diamond provider of Invisalign in London. We are highly experienced in correcting misalignment issues of the teeth using Invisalign and we have successfully helped correct over 6000 smiles so far.

Once we are able to show you how Invisalign can help transform your smile then you can decide whether or not you would like to go ahead with the process. We will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you, as every smile is unique and therefore the treatment will vary from patient to patient.

How does it work?

Invisalign comprehensive is for those with more complicated misalignment issues and the treatment can take approximately 9 to 12 months, or longer, depending on the extent of misalignment that you begin with. Invisalign Lite is designed for patients who have mild or moderate misalignment issues of the teeth and is a fixed system which is made up of 14 aligners, helping to create a neatly aligned smile for you.

We use modern digital scanning techniques to create a digital image of your teeth. We use ClinCheck technology to manipulate this image and find out how Invisalign can improve the position of your teeth. Our software enables us to accurately determine how many aligners you will need, and the scan results are used to individually manufacture the series of aligners for you. This means that they are highly precise and accurate, comfortable to wear and produce reliable results.

This consultation will last approximately half an hour and you will be offered a free three-dimensional iTero scan of your mouth. This uses a digital scanning machine to create a highly accurate visual stimulation of your teeth, that can be manipulated to create an individually tailored treatment plan for you. This is carried out by Invisalign ClinCheck and gives you an accurate visualisation of how your teeth will move over the course of the treatment. This helps determine how many aligners you will need and how long the course of treatment will last.

The days of messy impression taking are a thing of the past and our specialist iTero scanning device ensures precision and accuracy, so that you and our dentist know what to expect from your treatment with Invisalign aligners. We will be able to write up a prescription for you as well as giving you a quote for the treatment. This will be sent to you along with your scan results via email and you will be sent a consent form as well as a payment link for those who choose to go ahead with the treatment. If you are happy with the scan results and would like to begin treatment with Invisalign London then you can make the payment and we will order your invisible aligners, so that you can begin your journey to a beautiful smile very soon.

If you are feeling down about having misaligned teeth, there is a way that you can get a delightful smile without anybody else knowing how you’re doing it! There’s no reason to feel anxious or have low self-esteem about mild to moderate alignment issues such as crossbite, over or underbite, crowded teeth or gapped teeth, when there is Clear Braces Direct. At Clear Braces Direct, we offer Invisalign because of all of the benefits it affords our patients, as well as the wonderful results using Invisalign in Newcastle can achieve.

What is Invisalign?

You may have seen adverts about Invisalign on places like social media, but you probably won’t have seen them in somebody’s mouth. This is because Invisalign is a system that consists of plastic aligners that are transparent. When they are worn over the teeth, only your teeth should be visible to other people, allowing you to continue with your day as normal. The aligners apply pressure to your teeth and in doing so, they gradually push your teeth into the targeted position. You will need to change your aligners on a weekly/fortnightly basis and we will provide you with 6 weeks’ worth of them, sending them free to your home every time you need them, so you won’t need to come and see us every week. At the end of the 6 weeks, you will just need to have a check-up, which we can do remotely using our bespoke monitoring system. If we feel we need to see you, we will ask you to come in, but we try to limit the number of times you need to see us to save you both time and money!

Why should I choose Invisalign?

If you are one of those people who would prefer to keep your realigning procedure to yourself, then Invisalign in Newcastle could be for you. We have ranges of Invisalign for both teenagers and adults, so whether you are in school and wanting to stay cool, or heading to the boardroom and wanting to maintain an air of professionalism, Invisalign has got you covered. What’s more, you may remove your aligners for up to 2 hours a day. This means that you can take them out when you want to brush and floss, and you will be able to do so as normal, maintaining your excellent brushing and flossing techniques. You can also take them out when it’s time for meals, so you won’t have to worry about altering your diet to avoid certain types of food.

Another benefit of Invisalign is the fact that it should be comfortable to wear because the aligners are made bespoke for your mouth. Using iTero technology, we will scan your mouth to get the precise measurements needed. From this scan, we will also generate a 3D animation of what your smile will look like after treatment has been completed, before you even get started, so you will have a clear idea of what the results will be at the end of your Invisalign journey. It’s certainly something to get excited about and to keep you motivated as you wear them, along with our weekly app that you can also use.

The lowdown on Invisalign

You may already be well aware of the notion of discreet methods of aligning your teeth and while we aren’t the only Invisalign provider, we have vast experience in this field, which has enabled us to ensure our service is efficient and very impressive. Invisalign consists of aligners that you will need to change between on a weekly/fortnightly basis. These aligners will be sent to you for free, so you can receive what you need from the comfort of your own home. When you wear your aligners, they will apply small amounts of pressure to your teeth and it is this pressure that gradually moves them into the correct positioning to give you a wonderful smile.

Why should I choose Invisalign?

If Invisalign is a treatment option that could work for your specific needs, then there are many reasons to celebrate! Invisalign in Newcastle allows you to remove your aligners for up to 2 hours a day, which means that you can eat or drink anything you want to, without having to clean your aligners afterwards. You can also continue to look after your teeth and gums properly, because you won’t have anything in your mouth to hinder your efforts! The aligners should also be comfortable to wear, because we use iTero technology to scan your mouth for the precise measurements required to have your aligners manufactured, so that they fit you bespoke. We can also use this to generate a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like at the completion of your treatment, plus you will be able to monitor progress each week on the app we will provide you with. This is certainly a reason to get motivated to wear your aligners and to ensure that you wear them for 22 hours a day.
