It is likely that if you have misaligned teeth as an adult, you have heard about the boom in clear or invisible aligners in recent years. These are options suited for people who have mild to moderate misalignments but are still looking for ways to straighten their smiles without the associated hassle of metal braces.
However, many people are dubious about undertaking treatment
with an invisible or clear aligner. Because, surely, they don’t work as well as
regular fixed braces? Of course, they do! And if you have a dental team that is
experienced with using invisible aligners, then you can get the straighter
smile you want within an accelerated time.
At Clear Braces Direct, we are
professionals when it comes to Invisalign
London. We have made this aligner our primary focus for correcting
orthodontic issues. If you are eager to discover whether you are suitable for
it, simply give us a call, and we will book you in for a consultation.
So why has Invisalign London
taken over in the treatment of correcting misalignments in adults? Read on to
find out!
Easy to use
With fixed braces, it can be a bit tricky to figure out how to
use them, primarily because you aren’t a dental professional! They are there
for your dentist to tighten and adjust and thus move your teeth. With Invisalign London, you are given almost sole responsibility
for the aligner, and that can be daunting. However, this aligner is incredibly
easy to use, and our team will always be happy to answer any questions that you
may have about it. There is also an app for the aligner, which has an FAQ
section that can answer any queries you may have.
Easy to clean
If you had a friend at school who wore a fixed brace, then you
may remember them having to clean it a lot of the time; this is to ensure that
cavities and gum diseases do not develop as part of the orthodontic treatment.
Fixed braces have a way of attracting bacteria and food debris if they are not
cleaned regularly. Invisible aligners, however, are removable and easy to
clean. You simply rinse them under a cold tap and remove any food debris with a
soft-bristled toothbrush.
Easy to wear
In the past, there were many reasons why adults did not want
to undertake orthodontic treatments. Many felt that this option would result in
them wearing a very visual metal brace. Invisible aligners are, as the name
suggests, practically invisible and can be slotted over your teeth with ease
without those around you noticing that you are wearing them. They also do not
usually cause long-term issues with speech. You can take them out as and when
you choose, provided that you keep them in for at least 22 hours a day overall.
Easy to time
Most people who are suitable for invisible aligners will need to wear them for between 3 and 6 months to get the desired effect. So you can time your use of the aligners in preparation for a wedding or another important event. Simply talk to our team for a more personalised treatment time breakdown.
