Convenient and effective teeth straightening at home with Invisalign

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.
