Orthodontics

Braces are not just for teens; they are used by millions of Adults around the world.

If you have put up with protruding or crooked teeth for most of your adult life, then why not consider orthodontic treatment to transform your smile and revive your self-confidence?

​At St Mawes Dental, we believe that your smile is one of your most important features, and if you don’t feel happy smiling and laughing openly, we want to help. We offer a range of adult orthodontic treatments to correct crooked or misaligned teeth in a subtle and speedy way.

​Invisalign®

If you want straighter teeth but don’t want people to notice you’re having orthodontic treatment, then Invisalign® is a subtle way to achieve your goals.

​The transparent, removable aligners tackle issues such as crooked teeth, wide gaps, cross bites and under-bites. Your dentist will advise if Invisalign is the right system for your orthodontic issues. If so, impressions will be taken of your teeth so that our laboratory can create your first set of aligners – which are similar to a mouth guard.

​Once you start treatment, you will need to wear your aligners every day, but these can be removed for eating and cleaning. Every two weeks, you will visit us at St Mawes Dental for a new set of aligners. Each new set of aligners will be designed to help your teeth gently move into their new, straighter position.

​At the end of your treatment, we will provide you with a retainer so that you can maintain the new position of your teeth.

​St Mawes Dental works closely with registered specialists at the only specialist practice in Truro to provide our patients with all the options for adult orthodontics.
