So, what’s the deal? Are you somebody who doesn’t like having photos taken – at least not when you’re smiling? Are you somebody who avoids looking at themselves in the mirror when flashing a glimpse of the pearly whites? Do you find it difficult to look at pictures of people in magazines smiling because you wish your smile was like theirs and it’s not? If any of this sounds familiar to you, you may be thinking that there’s little you can do about realigning your teeth. Having misaligned teeth can be a source of anxiety and stress, especially when you are an adult and can’t face the thought of having fixed, visible metal braces.
At Archway Dental Surgery, we can help improve the alignment of your smile in a discreet and effective way with Invisalign in Cornwall.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a system that offers a discreet method of realigning your teeth using clear plastic aligners. The aligners apply pressure to your teeth to move them into the target position; don’t worry, though! It should be comfortable as you will change aligners every couple of weeks and this means that they only apply gentle pressure to your teeth. What’s more, we’ll provide you with several sets of aligners at a time, so you won’t need to come and see us every couple of weeks – as much as we’d be happy to see you, we know you’ll have more important things to do with your time!
What are the benefits of choosing Invisalign in Cornwall?
At Archway Dental Surgery, we believe that there are a lot of benefits to choosing Invisalign. Invisalign offers a convenient way of realigning your teeth; you can remove the aligners when you need to, including when you eat and drink, which means you also don’t have to change your diet. You can also brush and floss as normal, allowing you to maintain your oral hygiene. The aligners shouldn’t be visible to other people when you wear them, either, thanks to the clear plastic design. What’s more, they should be really comfortable for you to wear as they will be made bespoke to fit your mouth, sitting snugly on the gumline.
How are measurements taken for the aligners to make them bespoke?
We use iTero 3D technology to scan your mouth for the measurements, which means we won’t need to take messy impressions of your mouth. The scan provides us with the information we need to make your prescription for you aligners to be made from. From this technology, we can also show you a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after treatment, giving you a clear understanding of how your teeth will look after the completion of treatment. It can be a really exciting thing to see for patients and we like to think it gives you something to feel motivated by when wearing your aligners.
What should I do now?
The first thing you will need to do is book in with us for a consultation and we can check if Invisalign is the right course of treatment for you. Invisalign is used to treat mild to moderate alignment issues. If this isn’t the right course of treatment for you, don’t worry! We have other convenient options available. The best thing to do is have a chat with us and find out what could work. We’re here to listen to all of your concerns and questions, and to discover what your overall aim is for your smile. We will give you our expert advice and the right treatment for you.
