However, as is the way with all orthodontic procedures, there are a few\nthings you can do to make your transition into wearing invisible braces a bit\neasier for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because you are probably going to struggle a\nlittle bit with wearing your new invisible aligners and to ensure that you\ndon\u2019t give up on your treatment, we have written the following tips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\n<strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>, we know all about the\nstruggles that our patients can have with orthodontic pieces and want to help\nyou to achieve that gorgeous smile. While we know that invisible braces like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auradentallondon.co.uk\/invisalign-st-johns-wood.html\">Invisalign in St\nJohns Wood<\/a> can be easier for many patients, we also know that they can also\ncreate a set of unique challenges that can take some getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are our top survival tips for those\nfirst few weeks with <strong>Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invest in a small toothbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take <strong>Invisalign in St\nJohns Wood<\/strong> out to eat food, you are going to need to brush your\nteeth before putting the aligner back into your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to ensure that your teeth stay as clean and\nhealthy during your treatment, we recommend buying a travel toothbrush to carry\nin your pocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will need dental wax!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, so we have already spoken briefly about how\ninvisible braces are more comfortable than regular ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, just like regular ones, we will recommend\nthat you use dental wax to protect your tongue and inner cheeks. Those newly\ncrafted edges of the invisible aligners can be hard, and rough, creating\nfriction against the softer areas of your inner mouth and so, to keep you\ncomfortable, we will provide you with some dental wax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pain relief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to comfort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisible aligners are comfortable, yes, but they\nare still moving your teeth. And to ensure that you stick with the treatment as\nplanned, you should invest in pain relief. We recommend anti-inflammatory pain\nrelief, such as Ibuprofen to keep inflammation-based discomfort to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel you are experiencing excessive levels\nof discomfort, however, feel free to call our team for a consultation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use the case<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key appeal of this invisible brace is that you\ncan take it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while you are out with friends or family\neating in restaurants, we recommend placing them safely within the cases that\nthey came with. This will prevent it from becoming damaged, warped and of\ncourse, will keep it clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep an eye on the time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For invisible braces to be effective, you need to\nwear them for 22 hours per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We advise you to build up a routine of checking\nyour watch until you become acclimated to wearing the aligner correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you\u2019ve seen our team and have been given the green light to go ahead and have invisible aligners fitted.
