This system is specifically designed to be almost impossible to spot, once it is in place on your teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invisible Invisalign<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Invisalign <strong>braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> are not really even braces, in that there are no brackets and wires fixed onto the fronts of your teeth. Instead, you receive a series of very thin clear plastic mouth guard-like aligners. These snap on over your teeth, and are held in place by discreet brackets on your back teeth. Each aligner has carefully positioned pressure points that, over the series, nudge your teeth into position. You wear each aligner for a week to 10 days and when the pressure has worn off, it\u2019s time to move on to the next one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removable Invisalign<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As well as being almost invisible, Invisalign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auradentallondon.co.uk\/treatments.html\">braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a> are removable. You take them out every time you want to eat something, or drink anything other than plain water. If you don\u2019t, whatever you consume will discolour the plastic. All you have to do is brush your teeth well, after you\u2019ve eaten and then put the aligner back in. You\u2019ll find yourself cutting out mindless snacking and endless cups of coffee and you may even retrain your eating habits over the year, on average, that it takes to complete treatment with Invisalign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trouble with getting your teeth fixed has always been that there\u2019s no hiding that you are having treatment.
