When people have mild to moderate alignment issues, they may feel reluctant to smile freely in public. If this is you, you may have been considering looking into what the options are for treating your teeth’s alignment. Whether you have crossbite, under or overbites, crowded or gapped teeth, finding a treatment that is suitable may feel overwhelming. At Archway Dental Surgery, we like to make realigning your smile as easy and convenient as possible with Invisalign in Cornwall. This is because results can be achieved in as little as 9 to 18 months with Invisalign’s removable plastic aligners that are virtually impossible to see, when you are wearing them. If you want a discreet treatment, Invisalign is Cornwall is the way to go!
How it works
When you wear the aligners over your teeth, they push the teeth into the correct position, over a period of time. You will need to change between the aligners that we provide you with as each one is designed to apply a certain amount of pressure. The aligners are made bespoke for you and we use iTero digital scanning technology to get the measurements of your mouth. We use these to have your aligners made by the clever people in Invisalign’s laboratories. We will give you enough aligners to use for 6 weeks and then all you need to do is come and see us for a check up and we can give you more. We can also use the scan to generate an image of what your smile will look like after the treatment has come to an end, before you’ve even received your first aligners. This should be very encouraging for you and we hope that it allows you to feel excited about taking the plunge and getting your teeth realigned.
Why should I get my teeth realigned?
While it’s obvious that realigning your smile will give you a beautiful grin, there are also health benefits for doing so. By ensuring your teeth are in the appropriate position, it should make it a lot easier to clean your teeth effectively. You could also find that it is easier to chew your food and you may then reduce jaw pain associated with issues connected to this. You may also develop clearer speech as a result of your teeth being in the appropriate position.
Aside from these health benefits, you could also find that realigning your smile with Invisalign is a great option for you, because it enables you to have some freedom and control when it comes to your treatment. You only need to have the aligners in your mouth for 22 hours, so you have a couple to take them out for meals and cleaning your teeth. You could even have some time left over to remove them for special occasions or playing sports – whatever you like! The aligners should also be comfortable to wear, because they are fitted precisely to your mouth, but also because there aren’t any wires or brackets to catch the inside of your lips on. Instead, the plastic is very smooth and comfortable, whilst also being highly durable, so this should reduce the risk of you damaging them and requiring an emergency appointment.
