Invisalign London - Frequently Asked Questions

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a completely new way to align teeth. It is a revolutionary new brace system that uses the latest 3D technology to transform your smile. It first digitally simulates how your teeth can be expected to move over time; it then uses the digital simulation to print plastic aligners to move your teeth as per the digital simulation. Invisalign London is a good alternative to traditional braces. To learn more about what is Invisalign, feel free to give us a call.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of clear removable braces called aligners to straighten teeth. Each set of aligners needs to be worn for 2 weeks, the aligner set moves your teeth a tiny bit in the right direction. The next one in the series move your teeth further along in the desired direction. By the time you complete all your Invisalign London aligners, your teeth are in their final desired positions.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment is dependent on a number of factors such as – complexity of the orthodontic issues, the patient’s age, and also their overall compliance with wearing the aligners. The length of time that Invisalign treatment takes depends on each individual case. The average treatment time for Invisalign London 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. More details on how long does Invisalign take can be found in our article page.

Can you eat with Invisalign?

It is possible to eat your usual foods while undergoing Invisalign London treatment, but it is important to follow some guidelines to avoid damaging or staining the aligners. When eating, it is recommended to remove the aligners to prevent food particles from getting trapped between the aligners and teeth, which can lead to bad breath and dental problems. Invisalign aligners are not as strong as traditional braces, and certain foods can cause them to warp or become damaged. Some foods to avoid while wearing Invisalign include: hard or crunchy foods such as apples, carrots, and popcorn; chewy or sticky foods such as gum, caramel, and taffy; foods that can stain or discolour the aligners, such as coffee, tea, and red wine; sugary or acidic foods that can promote bacterial growth and tooth decay. To eat with Invisalign, simply remove the aligners before eating, and store them in their case. After eating, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with water before placing the aligners back in your mouth.

Can you drink with Invisalign?

While wearing Invisalign aligners, you can drink cool water or clear liquids without any issue. However, it’s important to avoid drinking hot beverages or sugary or coloured drinks, as they can damage or stain the aligners. This can affect the fit and effectiveness of the treatment. If you do need to drink hot beverages or sugary or coloured drinks, it’s best to remove the aligners and rinse your mouth and the aligners thoroughly with water before placing them back in your mouth.

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign London treatment may cause some discomfort or soreness, particularly 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 can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

In general, people ask does Invisalign hurt more than braces? We tend to find the Invisalign London treatment is considered to cause less discomfort than traditional metal braces because the clear 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 Invisalign 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 Invisalign London dentist to ensure that there are no underlying issues.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign London has become one of the most popular adult brace systems, with both patients and dentists alike, to straighten teeth. The days when traditional metal braces were the most common are long gone. This is due to the number of advantages that Invisalign offer over traditional braces. First, you can see what your new smile can be expected to look like prior to even starting treatment, using Invisalign’s digital smile simulation software.

Secondly, Invisalign themselves are so much more comfortable and convenient to wear. They are virtually transparent, others won’t be able to tell you are even wearing them. They are also completely removable – you can take them off while eating – that means you can continue enjoying your favourite foods. However, in some instances, particularly in very complex cases, traditional braces can still be preferred, however, these conditions are few and far in-between.

Is Invisalign worth it?

Invisalign can typically be less expensive than traditional braces, so the lower cost may be a consideration for some patients. Many people find the added convenience and aesthetics of Invisalign to be well worth it. Invisalign 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 Invisalign worth it to many people.

Invisalign braces 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 an orthodontist to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for your specific needs and goals. We recommend you take a look at our Invisalign Reviews and our extensive before and after Invisalign photos gallery.

Does Invisalign work ?

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

It’s important to note that the success of Invisalign treatment depends on the patient’s compliance with wearing the aligners as directed by their orthodontist. A patient needs to wear straightening Invisalign 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.

Which is better – Invisalign or braces?

Invisalign and braces both have their pros and cons. Invisalign is discreet and has removable aligners, providing minimal lifestyle impact. Traditional braces are usually faster at aligning teeth, but are not as discreet. It’s a very personal choice. We have provided a comparison between Invisalign vs braces in our article page.

Is Invisalign faster than braces?

It depends. In some mild to moderate cases, Invisalign can be faster. However, this is dependent on the patient following instructions from the dentist. In harder cases, traditional braces tend to be faster. We have provided more details on whether Invisalign is faster than braces in our article page.

How do I know I need Invisalign to achieve straighter teeth?

If you have uneven, misaligned or crooked teeth, you may want to straighten your teeth. A dentist may also recommend you to straighten your teeth for oral health issues. A number of different orthodontic options exist today to straighten teeth, including metal braces and invisible aligners. Invisalign is a convenient and discreet way to straighten your teeth and could be the best solution for you.

Is Invisalign appropriate for teenagers?

Invisalign was originally designed to treat adults’ teeth straightening needs. However, given its strong success at straightening teeth discreetly, it’s become very popular with teenagers, giving rise to a new Invisalign system called Invisalign Teen. Teenagers tend to like Invisalign more than traditional metal braces as Invisalign braces are less noticeable, more comfortable, and easier to clean. Invisalign Teen has a number of unique features that make it ideal for teenagers –

• Extra features to help accommodate growing teeth in teenagers
• ‘Power ridges’ to enable tooth roots to grow into the right place
• Complimentary replacements if aligners are damaged or lost
• Tools to help teenagers stay on track with wearing their Invisalign aligners
