Invisalign London - Virtually Invisible Aligners

Treatment time varies from case to case. The average treatment time is about 12 to 18 months, but some mild to moderate cases may take as little as 6-8 months, while others more complex cases can take up to 2 years.

Aligners are comfortable to wear. You may experience some discomfort or soreness, in the first few days after beginning treatment or when transitioning to a new set of aligners. However, the level of discomfort is typically mild and temporary.

In general, people ask does Invisalign hurt more than braces? We tend to find that plastic aligners cause less discomfort than traditional metal braces because the aligners are smooth and do not have any brackets or wires that can cause irritation or soreness in the mouth, aligners are also a more familiar feel to us all, due to the use of mouth guards and retainer trays such as whitening trays.

Any discomfort or soreness experienced during treatment is typically temporary and should improve as you become accustomed to wearing the aligners. If the discomfort is persistent or severe, it’s important to consult with your dentist to ensure that there are no underlying issues.

We certainly think Invisalign is worth it. It is usually less expensive than traditional braces, so the lower price may be a consideration for some patients. Many people find the added convenience and aesthetics of clear aligners to be well worth it. It can also be a good option for people who need to straighten their teeth but want to maintain a professional appearance, as the clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn. In addition, the ability to remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing can make oral hygiene easier during treatment. This also is a strong factor for making the treatment worth it to many people. We provide reasons for choosing aligners for a straighter smile in our article here.

Aligner treatment may not always be the best treatment option for every patient. In cases where significant tooth movement is needed, traditional braces may be a more effective option. It’s important to consult with a dentist to determine if aligner treatment is the right treatment option for your specific needs and goals. We recommend you take a look at our reviews and our extensive before and after Invisalign photos gallery.

Anyone who’s looking to straighten their teeth and don’t have very severe misalignment or bite related issues is suited for treatment.

Yes, most definitely. We have used it to straighten teeth for hundreds of patients in London. Studies have shown that it can be as effective as traditional braces for many types of orthodontic issues. In addition, the convenience and aesthetics of invisible aligners may make it a more attractive option for some patients.

It’s important to note that the success of the treatment depends on the patient’s compliance with wearing the aligners as directed by their dentist. A patient needs to wear straightening aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day and only remove them for eating, brushing and flossing. Failure to wear the aligners as directed can result in treatment taking longer than anticipated or being less effective.

The answer is – it’s not unfortunately.

It depends. In some mild to moderate cases, it can be faster. However, this is dependent on the patient following instructions from the dentist. In harder cases, traditional braces tend to be faster.
