There are several things you can do to improve your oral health. However, no amount of teeth-cleaning and flossing can change crooked or crowded teeth.
Misaligned teeth can affect your self-esteem, whether you are a teenager or a fully-fledged adult. Thanks to the emergence of modern orthodontics, you do not have to live with imperfect pearly whites any longer.
Braces in Liverpool have developed substantially since their first introduction, and patients now have various straightening devices available to them.
Pop into our dental practice, Liverpool Smile Studios, to find out which is the most suitable appliance for your needs.
What are some of the most popular orthodontic treatments and why?
There are several types of straightening aids currently on the market, the most suitable device for you depends on your preferences, as well as the nature and severity of your dental issue.
Do you have crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw? Do you have a bad bite that causes you tooth pain and sensitivity? Does the gap between your teeth embarrass you? Our dentist will advise you about which device is best suited for you.
Our orthodontic devices that are widely used include fixed braces, clear aligners, and retainers.
All About Fixed Braces
Some of our clients are hesitant about the idea of permanent, metal braces due to the way they look. That said, braces today look different from the original prototype.
Today, braces-wearers can enjoy an improved user experience where the device is more comfortable and discreet.
For customers who are extremely self-conscious about the idea of metal affixed to their teeth, we offer ceramic fixed braces in Liverpool that blend with the colour of your teeth. Ceramic braces are different by appearance only, working similarly to standard metal braces in re-aligning your teeth.
Why Choose Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are fast becoming a preferred choice for our adult demographic because they are practically invisible by appearance.
Being working professionals, we understand the need for discretion, which is precisely what clear aligners provide.
We will supply you with multiple aligner trays made from clear plastic, which will move your teeth, incrementally, into position.
As well as appearing subtle, clear aligners are also comfortable to wear. Additionally, you will not have your skin cut or broken.
What are retainers for?
Retainers may only be a suitable straightening device if your dental issue is minor, and will be ineffective for more substantial issues, like a misaligned jaw.
Generally, retainers are prescribed post-treatment to keep your teeth in position. Be sure to wear the device as advised by your dental practitioner.
Are there downfalls to wearing braces in Liverpool?
You could face some inconveniences, depending on what type of straightening device you choose.
Fixed braces in Liverpool are highly effective but wearing them could harm your oral health if you are not thorough when cleaning your teeth. At the same time, using retainers also requires discipline because, despite their removable nature, the device must be worn nearly all the time.
