Improve Alignment with Clear Aligners in Truro, Cornwall
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to gradually move your teeth into better alignment. They are created using detailed 3D digital scans, allowing treatment to be planned with a high level of accuracy.
Each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, moving them in small, staged steps. This makes the process predictable and tailored to your individual case.
Because the aligners are clear and closely fitted, they offer a more discreet alternative to traditional braces, without the need for brackets or wires.
How Treatment Progresses
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll wear each set for around one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence.
For effective results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking, and brushing. Their removable design allows you to maintain your usual diet and oral hygiene routine.
Treatment time varies depending on the level of correction required, but most cases are completed within 6 to 15 months. Review appointments are arranged throughout to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Can you eat while wearing clear aligners?
No, aligners should be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent damage and keeps them clear and hygienic.
