Here at Archway Dental Surgery, we are proud to offer Invisalign to patients who are struggling with misaligned teeth, as it has really helped to rejuvenate and improve their smiles. You probably have some questions about the treatment, as a lot of people do, so we have compiled the most common ones here to give you an idea of how Invisalign in Cornwall can help you. 
What is it?
Invisalign in Cornwall is a treatment that helps with a range of different dental imperfections such as crowding, overbites, underbites and gapped teeth. This is done with the use of multiple custom-made, clear aligners that can fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them into a straighter position over time.
What are the benefits?
When getting Invisalign in Cornwall, there’s a whole range of benefits that you can enjoy, whether it’s before, during or after the treatment.
Simple process
One of the main benefits that our patients have loved about this treatment is the simplicity of it all. There are no invasive procedures, you will require only a few dental appointments with us, and you do the bulk of the treatment from the comfort of your own home.
Invisible aligners
Another benefit that has made Invisalign so popular within our dental practice is the look of the aligners when they are worn. The combination of them being made out of thin, clear plastic and the fact that they will be custom-made for your teeth means that they will barely be visible to others.
Effective results
Even though this treatment doesn’t use a fixed dental appliance and the aligners are made out of plastic, they still deliver excellent results when it comes to straightening teeth. These results mixed with the simplicity of the process and the natural look of the aligners creates a great dental treatment.
What’s our process?
When you come to our clinic looking to get Invisalign, we will begin by having a consultation with you. This allows us to get to know you and your needs and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the treatment. We will also take pictures, videos and x-rays of your teeth to get a clear image to allow us to create your treatment plan. If you decide to go ahead, we will send off your scans so that your custom aligners can be created.
We will provide you with multiple aligners at a time and recommend that you wear each one for around 20 hours a day to get the full effectiveness. You should use each aligner for around 2 weeks before moving on to the next one, and this is what will move your teeth into a straighter position over time.
At the end of the treatment, when you are enjoying your new and improved smile, we will provide you with a retainer that we highly recommend you use. After having any straightening treatment, your teeth will try to revert to their original positions, and a retainer stops them from doing this.
How long does it take?
The amount of time it takes to complete the Invisalign treatment can massively vary as everyone’s needs are different. But generally, it has taken our patients between 6 to 18 months to finish the treatment. After this, with the right care, your results can last a lifetime.
