Think “braces” and what do you picture? Chances are your mind will instantly conjure up the traditional metal appliances worn by your peers at school, often described as “train tracks”. At Liverpool Smile Studio we are keen to point out that in the 21st Century, orthodontic treatment doesn’t need to mean metal train-tracks.
Sometimes, modern orthodontic treatment doesn’t even involve fixed braces at all. If you are interested in finding out more about what 21st Century orthodontics can do for you, we invite you to come into our Liverpool dental practice for a consultation with our cosmetic orthodontist.
Why alternatives to metal braces are necessary
A great deal of research and development has gone into discreet orthodontic treatment in the past three decades – in fact, it is one of the fastest-growing areas of the modern dental world. More and more adults are looking for teeth straightening treatment. Whether they missed out on orthodontic treatment in their youth or they had treatment only to experience adult relapse (teeth moving back to their original position) the one thing they know is that they don’t want to wear an obvious fixed metal appliance for months on end.
It’s not hard to see why metal braces can prove incompatible with a hectic professional adult lifestyle. In fact, many people find the thought of wearing them as an adult as distressing if not more so than having crooked teeth, so choose to do nothing.
If that applies to you, we urge you to think again. Join us at our Liverpool dental practice for a consultation with cosmetic orthodontist Dr Jeanine McGinty to discover more about how she can discreetly straighten your teeth.
