However, if you already have braces, then it\u2019s recommended you speak to an Invisalign doctor in person so that they can properly assess your teeth and bite.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"why-get-invisalign-aligners\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why get Invisalign aligners?&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p>Invisalign aligners are clear plastic aligners that use pressure to gradually align your teeth and smile. They are a popular <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/braces-for-adults\/invisalign-vs-braces\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"22528\" target=\"_blank\">alternative to fixed metal braces<\/a> because they are much less noticeable when worn. They&#8217;re also more comfortable and have the added bonus of being removable.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Although you have to wear Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day for them to work properly, you can take them out to eat, drink (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/invisalign-invisible-braces\/drinking-with-invisalign\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"30837\" target=\"_blank\">anything besides water<\/a>) and clean your teeth aligners. Cleaning your teeth with braces on can be time-consuming and fiddly, so it\u2019s a huge benefit to be able to remove your aligners for brushing and flossing.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>These aligners are made from SmartTrack material, which was specifically designed for Invisalign aligners. This technology has taken eight years to create and has <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27778051\/\" target=\"_blank\">significantly improved<\/a> the comfort of the aligners when worn.<\/p>    <p>Fixed braces can be painful, cause discomfort, and scratch the inside of your cheeks and gums. In comparison, Invisalign aligners are much more comfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>And, instead of having uncomfortable braces adjustments with a dentist every few weeks, you simply change to a new set of aligners. So while you still have in-person appointments with an Invisalign provider, they are much less painful than braces appointments!&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you already know you want to <strong>switch to Invisalign treatment from metal braces<\/strong>, speak to an Invisalign provider to see if switching is suitable for you. Simply search for a provider near you and book an appointment online.&nbsp;<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilewhite.co.uk\/pages\/aligner-quiz?ref=mango_shake_limited\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/smile-assessment-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/smile-assessment-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/smile-assessment-1-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/smile-assessment-1-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/smile-assessment-1-768x288.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>    <h2 id=\"why-switch-from-braces-to-invisalign\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why switch from braces to Invisalign?&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p>So, you\u2019ve heard the main reasons why you should get the Invisalign system, but if you\u2019ve already begun your treatment with fixed braces, why switch?

They are very obvious when worn, and although you can make them look better with colourful bands, some people feel very self-conscious when wearing them.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Invisalign aligners are much less noticeable than braces, even clear or tooth coloured braces. The fact that they are removable means that for meetings or photographs you can remove them for a short period of time if you want to feel more confident.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral hygiene routine&nbsp;<\/h3>    <p>Traditional braces are very fiddly to clean and they can take much longer to clean than a regular oral hygiene routine.

If this is you, don\u2019t despair &#8211; it is possible to <strong>switch from braces to Invisalign<\/strong> aligners depending on your individual case.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>The best way to start the process is to see if you are eligible to switch to the Invisalign system. You may have to wait a little while longer while your braces do the work they do best. Or, you may find that you are eligible to switch straight away.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you are, then you will need to get your braces removed first. Then you can begin the process of getting your Invisalign treatment plan created and your first set of aligners!<\/p>    <p>The first step is to make an appointment with your nearest provider to find out if you&#8217;re a candidate to switch to the Invisalign system. While you may end up paying a little more, it may be worth it in the long run.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>   <div class=\"mega-button\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=92509&amp;awinaffid=849251&amp;campaign=Day+Aligner+Pricing&amp;clickref=Day+Aligner+Pricing&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.awin1.com%2Fcread.php%3Fawinmid%3D92509%26awinaffid%3D849251%26campaign%3DDay%2BAligner%2BPricing\" class=\"orange\" rel=\"nofollow\">Get the best price for aligners!<\/a><\/div>    <h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I switch from braces to Invisalign mid-treatment?<\/h3>    <p>Yes, it is possible to switch to Invisalign aligners mid-treatment depending on your individual case.
