This is a major step forward in allowing\nsometimes reluctant patients to feel having their teeth aligned is something\nthey are happy to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, clear and invisible braces\nare visually discreet and as such, no one will be able to notice you are\nwearing them. With certain invisible braces, you can even take the brace out to\neat, meaning no brushing underwires to remove food debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>, we are proud to be able\nto offer suitable adult and teenage patients clear and invisible braces,\nespecially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auradentallondon.co.uk\/invisalign-st-johns-wood.html\">Invisalign\nSt John\u2019s Wood<\/a>. Custom fitted to slot over your teeth, this brace gently\npushes on your teeth to straighten them, without the need for tightening or\nadjustments. You can even take it out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious to learn more about <strong>Invisalign St\nJohn\u2019s Wood<\/strong>? Here, we answer some of the most commonly asked\nquestions that our team at <strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>\nis asked about this brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there an upper age limit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a word, no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provided that you have good overall oral health,\nthere is no upper age limit on <strong>Invisalign St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are a teenager who wants this\nbrace, our team will need to assess that your dental roots are fully formed\nbefore using it, which usually occurs when you are about the age of 17 years\nold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long does the process take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key benefits of this brace is that,\nthanks to its ever-evolving technology, it can straighten a greater range of\northodontic problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, depending on the severity of the\northodontic case you have, you may be wearing it for anywhere between 3-18\nmonths. And of course, if you take it out too regularly, this can slow down its\nefficacy concerning straightening your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does it straighten your jaw?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to have your jaw straightened, our\nteam will probably suggest a metal brace as a starting point and then, if your\njaw straightens via this process, you may be able to wear this brace at a later\nstage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the overall treatment process depends on\nthe severity of your orthodontic case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does it make your breath smell bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this brace is removable, it shouldn\u2019t make\nyour teeth smell bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when you take the brace out to consume food,\nour team will recommend that you brush your teeth before putting it back in.\nNot doing so can allow bacteria to become pressed against your enamel, which\ncan lead to bad breath and of course, tooth decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I take the aligner out for an entire day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No; this aligner must stay in your mouth for at\nleast 22 hours per day for you to notice its benefits as predicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to braces in adulthood, it seems that the traditional metal brace is being replaced with either clear or invisible braces.
