When you decide to straighten your teeth, you are making a big decision. Rest assured; it is the right decision. By improving the alignment of your teeth, not only can you improve the appearance of your smile, but you can also promote healthy teeth and gums for the rest of your life. Invisalign London is an excellent choice for teeth straightening. If you have minor orthodontic issues, then you need to speak to your dentist sooner rather than later and find out about straightening your teeth with Invisalign London. Invisalign is a clear aligner system. It has many advantages in comparison to traditional orthodontics for those with minor misalignment issues of the teeth. For those with more complex dental needs, however, traditional orthodontic treatment is often better suited, and your dentist will be able to help make the right choice for you.

Convenient teeth straightening

With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing that you are undergoing dental treatment. The aligners are almost invisible when they are in your mouth.

You need to make sure that you look after these aligners carefully. With Invisalign, there are no dietary requirements; you can eat and drink as you normally would. However, this is because the aligners need to be taken out of your mouth before mealtimes or if you want to drink anything other than water.

This is very important: if you try to eat with your aligners, then you will damage them. They also become very easily stained; therefore, it is very important to remember that if you drink anything other than water, you remove the aligners so that they do not discolour. It is also very important that you clean your aligners before you put them back in your mouth. You may be provided with a cleaning solution as part of your kit, but you can easily clean your aligners with an ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste. It is also very important that you maintain an excellent dental hygiene routine when undergoing Invisalign treatment.

You need to keep a toothbrush handy. When you take your aligners out to eat, you should brush your teeth where possible before putting the aligners back in your mouth. In this way, your teeth will remain clean and healthy, free of tooth decay or gum disease.

Another important tip is to take a few extra seconds each time you take your aligners out or replace them to make sure that you do so gently without scratching or damaging the aligners. If they become damaged, they will be uncomfortable to wear and may cause irritation and sores within your mouth. Another way to keep your aligners safe is to make sure that when they are out of your mouth you keep them in their case, again to avoid any scratches or damage. It is also more hygienic than leaving them lying around on a surface or even in your pockets!

It is important to remember to keep your aligners in your mouth for at least 20 to 22 hours a day, and this way, you can achieve maximum results in the prescribed period. Speak to your dentist and find out more about Invisalign for convenient and effective teeth straightening.
