Visiting an orthodontist to correct crooked or crowded teeth isn’t restricted to children and adolescents. Adults, too, can benefit considerably from orthodontic treatments. However, most adults erroneously think that orthodontics is all about metal braces and are reluctant to visit an orthodontist because of cosmetic and other considerations. Luckily, orthodontics has developed over the years and you can now benefit from discreet braces, which are designed with image-conscious adults in mind.
At Liverpool Smile Studio, we encourage our patients to straighten their teeth for health reasons; however, we understand that not everyone is prepared to wear metal brackets and wires for several months. For this reason, we offer specially designed, discreet braces such as Six Month Smiles, Invisalign and Inman aligners. Our lead orthodontist in Liverpool, Dr Jeanine McGinty, will examine your teeth thoroughly and help you decide which treatment is suitable for your individual needs.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles braces work just like regular braces, but instead of being metal they consist of tooth-coloured brackets and wires. Moreover, Six Month Smiles braces put less pressure to the teeth to help them move, since they are not altering your bite. This way you can have your front teeth straightened in as little as six months. Six Month Smiles braces are ideal for patients who wish to have teeth straightened for a special event. At the end of the treatment, your orthodontist in Liverpool will provide you with a retainer to wear for a few hours every day so that your teeth do not become misaligned again.
Invisalign
Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening method that uses aligners to help your teeth move into their correct position over a specific period of time. These aligners are transparent for enhanced appearance, they are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gums and they can be removed if you wish to eat or brush your teeth.
Inman aligner
An Inman aligner is a removable device that helps you to straighten your front teeth in only a few weeks. The device works by applying pressure to the teeth through a system of opposing aligners bows.
