<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThere are now invisible braces which use clear\nbrackets, lingual braces and of course, invisible aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Invisible aligners are a different orthodontic\noption for those seeking to straighten their teeth, as they rely on pushing the\nteeth rather than pulling them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While they offer several advantages there are\nsome key things to keep in mind before starting treatment, which sadly, if they\nare not known, can cause patients to stop treatment prematurely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nAura Dental<\/strong>, our team knows all\nthere is to know about Invisalign St. John\u2019s\nWood<\/a> and will assess whether or not you are a suitable candidate for it. If\nyou are, we will make sure that your treatment goes as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, here are 5 things to know about Invisalign St. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> before commencing treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisible aligners require discipline and commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike traditional braces that are attached to\nyour teeth, invisible aligners are completely removable. This means that you\nwill be responsible for wearing them for the recommended amount of time each\nday (typically 20 to 22 hours). For successful treatment, it’s important to\ncommit to wearing Invisalign St Johns Wood<\/strong> as\ninstructed and to keep up with the maintenance required to keep them clean and\neffective. If you don’t, your teeth may revert to their previous positions, or\nthe movement of your teeth may slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment time varies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The length of treatment with invisible aligners\nvaries depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues. In general,\ntreatment can take anywhere from around 3 months to about 12, averaging at\naround 6 months. However, it’s important to be patient and follow your\ntreatment plan closely to achieve the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aligners may cause discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While invisible aligners are generally more\ncomfortable than traditional braces, they may still cause some soreness. This\nis especially true during the first few days of wearing a new pair of aligners.\nOver-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol and warm salt water rinses can\nhelp ease any discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, however, the discomfort is unrelenting, then\nit would be best to see our team so we can assess the underlying cause. In most\ncases, it is due to the aligners not being correctly fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oral hygiene is crucial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial when\nusing invisible aligners. Because the aligners are worn for much of the day,\nfood particles and bacteria can easily become stuck in the space between the\naligner and your teeth, leading to cavities and gum disease. To prevent this,\nit’s important to brush and floss regularly and to clean your aligners as\ndirected by your orthodontist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not everyone is a candidate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While invisible aligners are a great option for many people, they may not be suitable for everyone. People with severe dental issues may require traditional braces or other more intensive treatments. Additionally, those with certain medical conditions or dental anomalies may not be good candidates for invisible aligners. It’s important to consult with your orthodontist to determine if invisible aligners are right for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you are an adult looking for an option to get your teeth straightened, never has there been a better time than in 2023.
