Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that aims to prevent, diagnose, and treat irregularities with your jaw, teeth, and bite. In simple terms, orthodontists aim to give you straighter teeth that benefit from aligning well when you bite down.
Many practices have their own orthodontic departments. Here at Liverpool Smile Studio we are proud of our orthodontic team and are confident that they will be able to help you with any problems or concerns you may have.
When should I consider seeing an orthodontist in Liverpool?
Most commonly you will be referred to an orthodontist by your regular dentist if you have crooked, crowded, or spaced out teeth that you want addressed. While sometimes this is because you are in discomfort due to severe alignment issues, this is often not the case.
At our practice, we offer treatments that provide minor adjustments to improve the cosmetic appearance of your smile. These treatments usually take less time to complete, are less conspicuous than traditional braces, and less disruptive to your lifestyle than traditional ‘train track’ metal braces. If you’re interested in such treatments, don´t be shy to ask your orthodontist in Liverpool. Adults in the UK are increasingly seeking treatment with braces to give them back a confident smile.
Invisalign treatment with your orthodontist in Liverpool
Invisalign is a treatment that more and more people up and down the UK are choosing. This is mainly because Invisalign treatment causes very little interruption to your normal lifestyle and routines.
Invisalign treatment involves a series of plastic molded trays that are each slightly different in shape and move your teeth using gentle pressure. A big advantage of this type of treatment is that the trays are removable, making it much easier when it comes to mealtimes. This type of treatment also benefits from being almost completely invisible when in use. This is down to the clear, transparent nature of Invisalign. Most people won´t even notice you’re undergoing treatment.
The aim of an orthodontist is to preserve your natural teeth while improving their function and appearance, giving you the confidence you deserve. With modern teeth straightening treatments, this is easier than ever to achieve.
