Invisalign in Cornwall is a highly convenient, comfortable and discreet method of straightening your teeth once and for all. If you were not able to undergo orthodontic treatment when you were younger and have been daydreaming about a beautiful smile, you can then speak to us at Archway Dental Surgery today and book an appointment to visit our dentist to find out about Invisalign in Cornwall.
Advances in dental technology and the introduction and establishment of Invisalign has helped correct the misalignment issues of over 4 million smiles worldwide. To find out more about why it is one of the most popular methods of teeth straightening in cosmetic dentistry, you need to try Invisalign for yourself. Firstly, our dentist here at Archway Dental Surgery will carry out a full examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that Invisalign is the right treatment for you. Your teeth must be clean and healthy and you should not have any underlying dental issues that may affect the treatment. If you do suffer from dental problems, then they will need to be treated first to ensure that your teeth can be straightened effectively and successfully without any complications in the future.
How does Invisalign work?
Using Invisalign’s very own iTero scanning machine, you will have to undergo a three-dimensional scan of your teeth and gums, which will help create an image of how your teeth will be moved to create a neatly aligned smile. If you and our dental team are satisfied with the prediction, the scan results will be sent to technicians who can manufacture a series of clear plastic aligners that are designed to apply gentle pressure on your teeth to slowly push them into the desired positions.
In comparison to traditional orthodontic braces, which are made of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are significantly more comfortable, and, as the name suggests, they are almost invisible when worn. You will have tiny attachments fitted to the surface of a few of your teeth so that when you wear the aligners, they fit securely in place. Also, you will not have to worry about the attachments because they will eventually wear away.
The aligners can be taken out of your mouth whenever necessary; however, you are advised to wear them for approximately 22 hours a day, removing them before mealtimes and cleaning your teeth. Aligners allow you to maintain your original dental hygiene routine, and by visiting our dentist regularly during the treatment process, you can make sure that it is coming along successfully and that your teeth remain clean and healthy throughout.
