Modern orthodontics doesn’t need to mean metal braces. At Liverpool Smile Studio we offer a wide range of orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages – some not even involving a fixed brace at all.
Increasing numbers of adults are looking to straighten their teeth, and it is easy to understand why the concept of wearing clearly visible metal braces for months or even years on end can prove a serious barrier to treatment. At our Liverpool dental practice we believe everybody deserves a smile to be proud of, and know that straightening your teeth at any age brings benefits beyond aesthetic appeal. Teeth straightening is good for your dental and general health, and in many cases can fit easily around your lifestyle.
Teeth straightening: the benefits
Whether you use braces or aligners to straighten your teeth, you will improve your dental health because it makes your teeth easier to keep clean. It’s simple when you think about it; by straightening your teeth you reduce the number of hard-to-clean areas where dental plaque can build up. This cuts your risk of both tooth decay and gum disease, and because gum disease has been linked to such conditions as heart disease, your overall health and wellbeing will benefit, too.
Liverpool teeth straightening options: braces and aligners
When you come into our dental practice in Liverpool for an orthodontic consultation, our orthodontist will assess the type and amount of correction that you need. She will then discuss the braces and/or aligners that are most suitable for your needs, so that you are able to make a well-informed choice.
Depending on your clinical needs and treatment preferences, she may recommend:
Six Month Smiles

Inman Aligner
