Since its introduction in cosmetic dentistry back in the late 1990s, Invisalign has created an international sensation and nowadays it’s used by dentists around the world as an effective and minimally invasive teeth straightening treatment.
Invisalign in Harley Street is a great way to straighten your teeth, provided you are a good candidate. If you are not certain, simply book your appointment with a cosmetic dentist at Harley Street Dental Clinic. Invisalign in Harley Street is a fairly simple and straightforward treatment that requires fewer visits to the dentist compared to conventional braces – simply follow a few simple rules provided by your dentist and your teeth will look great and remain healthy throughout your treatment.
Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours
Invisalign aligners can be removed from your teeth in case you want to brush them or eat, but they are primarily designed to remain in your mouth for 20-22 hours for effective treatment. If you want to avoid delays, never forget to wear your aligners for the prescribed time as provided by your dentist.
Do not change your aligners without your dentist’s consent
At the beginning of your treatment, your dentist will show you how your teeth will look after going through a series of Invisalign aligners. In order to achieve this result, you will need to wear a series of aligners per your dentist’s instructions. Most patients will have to change each set every 7-10 days but that’s not a rule applying to everyone, therefore always pay attention to your dentist. It’s vital to change the aligners when your dentist says so.
Keep your mouth clean
While you are not allowed to eat or drink anything except water with the aligners in your mouth, it’s almost certain that your aligners will collect bacteria and can hold plaque against your teeth if you don’t clean them properly with lukewarm water and a special solution. Similarly, you should take very good care of your teeth and gums in order to avoid cavities and gum disease.
