With the overwhelming number of happy and satisfied patients behind its name, we are no longer surprised at the interest generated in Invisalign in Cornwall. Indeed the treatment has been able to transform countless numbers of patients’ smiles since its introduction in the orthodontics market. For patients who have a vague idea of this system, we present a brief guide of the most important takeaways of this orthodontic treatment plan.
Important takeaways of Invisalign in Cornwall
Invisalign is often referred to as a tray-based or aligner-like orthodontic system. It is so designed to offer features that distinguish it from other conventional orthodontic appliances. Some of the distinguishing characteristics are as follows:
Easily removable
The fact that these tray-based braces can be easily removed and reinserted by the patient is a significant differentiating quality that sets it apart from the more traditional fixed brace systems. This feature works to provide a number of highly desirable benefits to the patient such as simplifying at-home oral hygiene maintenance and doing away with food restrictions.
Made from transparent plastic material
One of the most common complaints with wearing fixed metal braces is that they are so glaringly obvious to others which makes them embarrassing to wear. This concern becomes null and void with the tray-based teeth-correcting system as these are made from transparent medical-grade plastic material. This makes this system amazingly discreet and a popular option for adult patients.
Patients find the clear aligners relatively comfortable to wear
In looking at the aligner-like system it is easy to see why patients find them more comfortable: there are no sharp edges as are found in metal braces that poke into gums or inner cheeks.
Patients enjoy a simplified treatment plan
With the removable, clear tray-based system, patients will find that they are not required to make visits to our dental clinic for manual adjustments as is the case with traditional braces. Once our dental practitioner has captured the digital impressions of the patient’s mouth, these are sent to the dental laboratory where the trays are custom made for each patient. The treatment plan consists of a number of trays that need to be worn during the duration of the treatment plan. We will provide instruction as to how often each tray should be worn and when to start with a new tray. It is imperative that these instructions are followed to the tee if the patient is to receive the outcomes they are looking for.
More and more patients are choosing orthodontic solutions that meet their lifestyle needs. You can find out more by arranging for one of our highly competent dentists at Archway Dental Surgery to carry out a comprehensive consultation.
