A good dental hygiene routine is an important part of life which needs to be instilled from an early age and is essential for maintaining good oral health and overall wellbeing at the same time. Visiting your dentist on a regular basis will help ensure that your dental hygiene routine is effective and will also improve the condition of your teeth, by carrying out professional cleaning where necessary, and detecting and preventing any issues before they are able to cause any damage or complications.
If your teeth are clean and your gums are healthy, but you are unhappy with the look of your smile, then speak to us at Liverpool Smile Studio and book a consultation with our orthodontist to find out how we can help improve the aesthetics of your smile. Orthodontic treatment commonly uses dental braces to improve the positioning of a patient’s teeth to create a beautiful smile and promote better oral health. Orthodontic treatment requires your teeth to be clean and healthy and your orthodontist Liverpool will ensure that you have no underlying dental issues which may be exacerbated by the process or may affect the results of your treatment. Once you book an appointment with us you will undergo a full examination of your mouth and then you will have X-rays and scans carried out to create images of what successful treatment will look like for your smile. These will also help create individually tailored braces for you according to the treatment option that you and your orthodontist Liverpool decide on, subject to your dental requirements and your personal preferences.
Different types of braces for orthodontic treatment
Orthodontics have developed significantly over the last few decades to meet the increase in demand for cosmetic dentistry. Conventionally, orthodontic treatment is carried out using metal braces, which consist of wires and brackets that effectively alter the positioning of the teeth and improve issues such as misalignment, crookedness, wonky teeth, protruding teeth and other aesthetic aspects of the mouth, helping improve oral health at the same time. Although this is the most effective method of orthodontic treatment there is a reluctance amongst adults to consider these types of braces, because of the high visibility of the wires and brackets in the mouth. The last few decades have seen the introduction of invisible orthodontics which work in a similar fashion by applying gentle pressure to the teeth and altering their position into a more preferred and the suitable positioning. Invisible orthodontics are designed to be discreet and almost invisible in the mouth, so that no one will have to know that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you would like them to.
Invisible braces include lingual braces which are attached to the inside of your teeth or other options such as invisible aligners that, as the name suggests, are almost invisible, providing comfort and convenience at the same time.
