What are Clear Aligners (e.g.?

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are removable orthodontic devices made from transparent plastic that gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal brackets and wires. These custom-made, virtually invisible trays fit snugly over the teeth and apply gentle pressure to move them into the desired position over time. Clear aligners offer several advantages including being removable for eating and cleaning, less noticeable than traditional braces, and typically more comfortable with fewer irritation points. They are particularly effective for treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues including crooked teeth, gaps, and rotation, following a comprehensive assessment by a dental professional.

Why Post-Treatment Care Matters

This phenomenon, known as orthodontic relapse, can undo the results achieved during your clear aligner treatment. Our tailored retention protocol is designed to prevent this, safeguarding your investment and maintaining your confident smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are clear aligners?


Clear aligners are transparent, removable orthodontic devices made from medical-grade plastic that gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile discreetly. At London Dental Specialists, our clear aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gently shift them into the desired position over time.



How do clear aligners work?


Clear aligners work by applying controlled force to move teeth into their proper position. The treatment involves wearing a series of custom-made aligners, with each set making slight adjustments to tooth position. Typically, you'll wear each set for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Throughout your treatment at London Dental Specialists, our dentists will monitor your progress with periodic check-ups to ensure your teeth are moving as planned.



How long does clear aligner treatment take?


The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. For minor corrections, treatment may take as little as 6 months, while more complex cases might require 12-18 months. With proper compliance—wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours per day and attending regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists—you can achieve optimal results within the estimated timeframe provided during your initial consultation.



Are clear aligners removable?


Yes, clear aligners are completely removable. This is one of their main advantages over traditional braces. You can remove your aligners when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. However, for effective treatment, you must wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day. Removing them only for essential activities ensures your treatment progresses as planned.



Are clear aligners painful?


Clear aligners typically cause less discomfort than traditional braces. You may experience some pressure or mild discomfort for a few days after switching to a new set of aligners, which indicates the aligners are working to move your teeth. This sensation usually subsides within a few days. The smooth plastic material of clear aligners also eliminates the risk of cuts or irritation to your cheeks and gums that can occur with metal braces.



How do I clean my clear aligners?


Proper cleaning of your clear aligners is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. Here's how to clean them effectively:



  • Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water every time you remove them

  • Clean your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and mild, clear soap

  • Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic

  • Never use toothpaste to clean aligners as it can be abrasive

  • Soak aligners occasionally in a denture cleaner or special aligner cleaning solution

  • Always brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners



Can I eat and drink with clear aligners?


You should remove your clear aligners before eating any food or drinking anything other than plain water. Eating with aligners can damage them and trap food particles between the aligners and your teeth, increasing the risk of tooth decay and staining. After eating or drinking, brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent staining of both your teeth and the aligners.



Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?


While clear aligners are effective for many orthodontic issues, they may not be suitable for all cases. Clear aligners work best for mild to moderate alignment issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and some bite problems. For more complex cases, traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments might be recommended. At London Dental Specialists, we conduct a thorough assessment during your consultation to determine if clear aligners are the right solution for your specific needs.



What happens after clear aligner treatment is complete?


After completing your clear aligner treatment, you'll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. Retainers prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Initially, you may need to wear retainers full-time, gradually transitioning to nighttime wear only. With proper retainer use and regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists, your beautifully aligned smile can last a lifetime. We'll provide specific post-treatment instructions tailored to your individual needs.
