<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you attend a checkup with our team today, you are more\nlikely to be offered a clear or invisible brace, also known as an aligner, but\nthis will depend on the severity of the dental misalignment being corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Aura Dental<\/strong>, we are always happy to\nmeet with adult patients who want to straighten their teeth, and we are eager\nto offer the use of Invisalign\nSt John\u2019s Wood<\/a>. This is a clear aligner that can slot over your teeth, and\nas it is custom fitted, it has changed the face of adult orthodontic care and\nis one of the most popular and successful aligners that you can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do we determine whether you’re suitable? In this short\nguide, you will be introduced to a basic breakdown of what is involved when it\ncomes to using Invisalign St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, our team needs to assess whether you are suitable,\nand this will take place at the initial consultation. During this, we will\nassess the severity of the misalignment of your teeth, check your dental health\nfor signs of cavities and gum disease and then determine whether Invisalign St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> will be beneficial to correcting\nyour misalignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we deem it to be suitable, then we will take an intraoral\nscan of your teeth, the results of which will be sent to a dental laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aligners arrive!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s interesting about invisible aligners is that they can\nbe printed using a specialised 3D printer. So, with the intraoral scan that is\nsent, a dental team will then upload the scan to digital software and move your\ndigital teeth into the desired positions in a set of stages. Once this has been\nbroken down into about 12 or 14 steps, the aligners will be printed to custom\nfit your teeth at each stage. The process of printing the aligners can take 6\nto 8 weeks, and when they arrive back at our surgery, we will call you for an\nassessment to ensure that they fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless otherwise specified, you need to wear your aligners for\n22 hours a day. If you do not, the realignment process may slow, or your teeth\nmay revert to their former positions. To keep your aligners clean, simply rinse\nthem under a cold water tap and avoid putting them in hot or warm water as this\nmay cause them to warp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisalign comes with an associated app, which can be\ndownloaded on smartphones. The app will allow you to send weekly photographs to\nour team so that we can assess whether the aligners are working as predicted.\nIf there is a severe issue with the treatment, we will call you into the\nsurgery, but generally, you will not need to see your team very often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Retainers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the treatment is over (which will take an average of 3 to 6 months), you will need to wear a custom-fitted retainer; this will hold your teeth in their new positions and prevent reversion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are now ready to straighten your teeth as an adult, 2022 is probably the perfect time to do so.
