<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nInvisible aligners have somewhat taken the adult orthodontic\nworld by storm and are now one of the most popular treatment options available.\nIf you are deemed suitable for wearing one of these aligners, you will need to\nknow that it is unfortunately not all plain sailing. You will have a lot of\nresponsibilities to ensure that the treatment goes as planned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Aura Dental<\/strong>, we are always eager to\nmeet with adult patients who want to straighten their teeth and will usually\nrecommend the use of the world-famous aligner, Invisalign St John\u2019s\nWood<\/a>. This aligner is easy to wear and can be accommodated into a busy work\nschedule, with few appointments and no trips to have it altered or tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what is involved in the daily wear of Invisalign St\nJohn\u2019s Wood<\/strong>, and what will you be responsible for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you must note that Invisalign St John’s Wood<\/strong>\nis a plastic aligner that can slot over your teeth like an invisible sports\nguard. It is made from clear plastic, which is durable but not immune to excessive\nheat or pressure. So when you clean your aligner, be sure to rinse it under\ncold water and use a toothbrush to remove any tough staining. Do not attempt to\nput the aligner in the dishwasher or rinse it under hot water, as this can\ncause it to warp out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As this aligner is removable, you may need to take it out when\nyou are out and about. If you’re about to eat lunch with friends or want to\nremove the aligner to give a presentation, store it in the carry case provided.\nOnce again, simply tossing the aligner into a pocket or bag can cause it to\ncome into contact with hot objects or bend out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our team usually advises wearing the aligners for around 22 hours a day. If you do not stick to this plan, your teeth may revert to their original positions or the realignment process may slow or stop altogether. If you are having difficulty wearing your aligners for the required time, talk to our team, and we may be able to suggest a clear fitted brace instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lost aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you lose one of these aligners, it can be tempting to\nsimply move on to the next one in the series. But this is wrought with issues\nsince even though the aligners may all look similar, they each represent a step\nin the process. So, if you lose an aligner, be sure to contact our team, and we\nwill be able to have a replacement made for you as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n App!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not so much a daily consideration but more of a weekly one. When you have an invisible aligner in your mouth, you will usually need to send our team weekly updates using the associated app, which can be downloaded on smartphones. These updates minimise the need for you to come into the surgery and allow our team to track the progress the aligner is making. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is a great feeling when you attend a consultation to straighten your teeth as an adult and are told that your misalignment is minor enough to warrant the use of an invisible aligner rather than a fitted metal brace.
