If, like many people, you equate orthodontic treatment with metal braces, it’s time to think again. Liverpool Smile Studio offers a number of subtler ways to straighten your teeth, using both fixed braces and removable aligners.
Braces have been used for many years to straighten teeth, and often they remain the best option, affording your dentist or orthodontist maximum control over the movement of each tooth. However, whilst traditional metal appliances are still popular with children and teenagers, who enjoy the modern colour customisation options available, it is easy to understand why an obvious metal brace could cause problems for a professional adult lifestyle.
Our Liverpool dental centre offers both tooth-coloured fixed braces and clear, removable aligners to correct a range of orthodontic issues. When you come into our Liverpool practice for a teeth straightening consultation, your dentist will undertake a thorough assessment to determine which type of appliance is best suited to your clinical needs.
Among the options available from Liverpool Smile Studio are:
Six Month Smiles
These popular cosmetic braces work quickly by focussing on the front teeth – those that show when you flash a smile. They comprise tooth-coloured wires and clear ceramic brackets, which means they blend in well with the natural colour of your teeth. With six months being the average treatment time, these braces are a fast and effective method of correcting mild to moderate spacing and alignment issues.
Invisalign
An alternative to fixed braces, treatment with Invisalign involves using a series of clear, removable aligners to gently guide your teeth into a new position. A huge advantage of these aligners is that you don’t need to adopt any special dental hygiene techniques during treatment. You just take your aligner out to clean and to brush and floss your teeth as normal.
