Along the way, we\u2019ll capture some of the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-smile-centre.com\/invisalign-liskeard.html\">Invisalign,<\/a> helping you make the choice about whether it\u2019s the right treatment for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Consultation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stage on your Invisalign journey is a consultation here at our dental practice, serving Liskeard. It helps us ensure that the treatment is suitable, and gives us the opportunity to check over your mouth, teeth and gums to ensure they\u2019re in tip-top condition for treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Treatment begins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stage involves taking scans of your smile \u2013 3D impressions \u2013 that serve to create a picture of your current smile and how it could look with Invisalign treatment. In fact, this part of the process can show you every single stage of your treatment and how teeth will move and change throughout. That\u2019s because Invisalign is based on incremental straightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Wearing your aligners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up is wearing your new Invisalign aligners. These are clear braces, moulded from acrylic, that create a comfortable fit around your teeth while being almost invisible to others. Aligners are worn for two weeks before changing to another set. This is because the teeth are moved little by little. Don\u2019t forget that during your treatment, you\u2019ll be able to track all your progress on the handy Invisalign app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re now ready to reveal! After months of hard work, your new smile will be ready \u2013 and you\u2019ll join the list of happy patients from our dental practice who have successfully been treated with Invisalign braces. It\u2019s possible you may need a few refinements \u2013 extra aligners \u2013 to create that perfect smile, but otherwise, feel free to show off and sparkle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lovely new smile will need a bit of help to stay straight. Retainers will be made to fit your new smile alignment, which you\u2019ll need to wear as directed for simple smile maintenance. In many cases, patients eventually transition to wearing retainers at night-time only, so there could be little impact on your day-to-day life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Booking your treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to start your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-smile-centre.com\/invisalign-liskeard.html\">Invisalign journey,<\/a> we\u2019d love to hear from you.
