Delightfully Discreet Orthodontics in the Heart of Liverpool

Friday, December 12th, 2014

Discretion is a priority for many of our patients searching for orthodontic solutions and we are delighted to offer a host of discreet options. We want you to feel confident during the treatment process as well as being thrilled with the results of your treatment, and with our modern systems, we are confident that we can achieve these goals.

One of the most noticeable advances in orthodontic treatment is the design of the brace. The days of sporting unsightly, highly visible braces are long gone. In their place, a host of sleek, virtually detectable appliances have arrived.

Our treatments

We have a broad spectrum of treatments for those who are seeking complete discretion during their treatment, including:

  • Invisalign
  • Clearstep
  • Perfect Clear
  • MTM No Trace Brace
  • CFast
  • 6 Month Smiles

Within this range of treatments, we have fixed brace and removable appliance options. Some patients prefer a fixed brace, while others prefer the freedom of a removable brace. We also have treatments that are suited to patients with minor issues, as well as those who require more complex treatment.

How do I choose which treatment to go for?

In most cases your orthodontic prescription will narrow down your options, as some treatments are geared towards minor issues only, while others are more suited to more severe problems. Once your dentist has assessed your needs, they can talk you through the options open to you and talk about your preferences. They can then make recommendations based on whether you would prefer a fixed brace, whether you’d like a brace that is completely invisible or whether you’d like the fastest treatment out there, for example.

If you’d like to find out more about discreet treatments at Liverpool Dental Spa, simply call us and we can book a consultation.

They will then discuss the options with you to help you make a choice.

Our treatments include:

  • Invisalign: invisible removable aligners
  • Inman Aligner: rapid, removable aligner
  • 6 Month Smiles: fast-acting, discreet fixed braces
  • Damon Braces: advanced fixed braces, which are suitable for complex cases

Everything You Need to Know About Damon Braces in Liverpool

Tuesday, November 18th, 2014

Damon Braces is one of the best orthodontic systems on the market, but what’s all the fuss about and could Damon Braces be the ideal choice for you?

The ins and outs

Damon Braces essentially are  fixed braces that use modern technology to minimise pain and reduce treatment time. Unlike conventional fixed braces, Damon Braces have self-ligating wires along with sliding brackets that reduce friction and increase the speed of tooth movement. They are considerably smaller and more discreet than ordinary fixed braces and they allow a huge amount of movement, which makes them a viable option for patients with complex orthodontic needs.

These braces are also able to create space, which means that most patients do not need to have teeth extracted before they start treatment.

What’s the treatment time?

Treatment time for Damon Braces varies according to the amount of movement required and what kind of issues the individual patient has. Typically, treatment with Damon Braces is around 4-6 months faster than ordinary fixed braces. When you have your consultation and your dentist has evaluated your needs, they will be happy to discuss treatment times with you.

Who is the ideal candidate for Damon Braces?

Appropriate for patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems, Damon Braces provide a really effective solution for problems with the bite, as well as the spacing and alignment of the teeth. They often provide an alternative to conventional fixed braces for patients who need a lot of movement and therefore cannot benefit from removable aligners.

To find out more information about the amazing Damon Braces, give us a call today!

Liverpool Braces – Fixed vs. Removable

Saturday, October 18th, 2014

At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer a range of orthodontic options to suit all our patients, but which one is best for you and should you opt for a fixed or a removable brace?

Fixed braces

Fixed braces are what most people imagine when they think about orthodontic treatment; however, the design and aesthetic of fixed braces have come a long way in a relatively short period of time and you no longer have to put up with cumbersome and painful metal braces to get the smile you want. Modern fixed braces, such as Six Month Smiles, Damon Braces, CFast and In-Ovation-R, provide discreet, comfortable alternatives to conventional train-tracks and they are ideal for patients who prefer the reliability and security of fixed braces. 6 Month Smiles are ideally suited to patients who have issues with the front teeth, while Damon Braces are suitable for patients with moderate or complex needs.

Removable braces

Removable braces offer a flexible and convenient alternative to fixed braces and are usually best suited to patients with minor or moderate needs. Aligners and positioners make life easy, as you don’t need to worry about changing the way you brush your teeth or feel anxious when you eat in public, and they are usually made from clear parts, which makes for very discreet aesthetics. Our removable braces include Invisalign, the Inman Aligner and Clearstep.

Which treatment should I choose?

It’s impossible for dentists to recommend a treatment above others without seeing a patient, as every client is different and some treatments are more suited to some than others. When you have a consultation, your dentist can gauge your needs and ascertain your treatment preferences and once they have this information, they can make recommendations as to which systems would suit you best.

 

Perfect Orthodontic Treatment with Invisible Braces in Liverpool

Friday, August 15th, 2014

At Liverpool Dental Spa we know that you like to look your best, and have amazing invisible braces to help you achieve a perfect smile without anyone else being able to spot your braces. With invisible braces, we can transform your smile in secret and you don’t need to worry about smiling in public and showcasing a load of metal or feeling anxious about what others may say about you having braces.

About our invisible braces

We offer a range of clear brace orthodontic solutions to allow you to enjoy your treatment on the down low. Our treatments include Perfect Clear, Invisalign, Clearstep and Simpli5. We also offer 6 Month Smiles, Damon Braces and CFast, all of which are extremely discreet.

Clearstep, Invisalign and Simpli5 are all aligner systems, which have a similar approach to treatment. These removable aligners are made from clear plastic and each treatment works in a series, with patients wearing a number of different aligners; the number of aligners usually depends on the complexity of the prescription, apart from Simpli5, which uses five aligners. Perfect Clear is another similar system, which uses bespoke, clear positioners to move the teeth.

CFast, 6 Month Smiles and Damon Clear are fixed brace systems, which offer much more discretion than traditional fixed braces. Often, fixed braces are preferable when a lot of movement is needed, as they provide greater support for the teeth.

Orthodontic treatment at Liverpool Dental Spa

We are delighted to offer myriad orthodontic options and we can help you to choose a treatment to make your dental dreams come true. Before we start any treatment, we hold consultations to determine your needs, analyse your bite and discuss the options with you. Often, the nature and complexity of your needs determines the selection, as some treatments are suited to patients with minor needs, while others are geared towards more minor problems. Once we have the list of suitable treatments, we can go through them with you, highlight the advantages and disadvantages and talk about treatment times and costs. We look forward to taking you on the journey to a brand new smile!

 

How Does Invisalign Work in Central Liverpool

Thursday, August 7th, 2014

Have you ever thought how amazing it would be to have a straight smile without any of the fuss of wearing visible braces? Well, now you can, thanks to our amazing invisible braces. Invisalign is a highly innovative treatment, which has taken the world by storm and we are delighted to offer this treatment to you right in the heart of Liverpool.

What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment, which is used to address problems such as crowding, spaces between the teeth and crooked teeth. This system is completely different to traditional braces as it uses a series of removable appliances to move the teeth, known as aligners. Invisalign aligners are made from clear parts and this means that they can barely be seen when they are in position, giving you the freedom to enjoy greater confidence during your treatment.

The Invisalign treatment process is different to many other treatments because it uses a series of appliances rather than a single device. Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and the order dictates the movement of the teeth. Treatment is planned in advance using computer software and the aligners are manufactured based on the patient’s individual treatment plan. The aligners are designed to be worn for around 22 hours per day and removed for eating and brushing the teeth.

Is Invisalign a good choice for me?

If you’re looking for an orthodontic treatment that allows you to feel confident and comfortable and you have minor or moderate orthodontic issues, Invisalign may be an excellent option. This treatment is great for people who are concerned about their image and wary of fixed braces. It’s also beneficial to those who enjoy the flexibility of a removable brace and it is a really popular treatment. To find out if you are a good candidate for Invisalign, simply call us and book a consultation.

Improve Your Confidence with Perfect Clear Braces in the Heart of Liverpool

Saturday, July 26th, 2014

One of the main reasons people worry about having braces is their image. Braces can be unsightly and unattractive and this can make you feel less confident, especially in social settings. Thankfully, we have options available for patients who have these concerns and our amazing clear braces will help you to feel confident during the treatment process.

Advantages of clear braces

Clear braces give you the opportunity to feel more confident during the treatment process when you have braces. With clear braces, you can smile without worrying about what you look like or how others perceive you because you are wearing braces. Clear braces are also a great option for adults who have professional roles and rely on face to face contact as part of their job description and would like to maintain a certain image, as they produce incredible results without anyone being able to see the brace.

Our clear brace treatments

We offer a range of clear brace options to suit patients with all kinds of orthodontic issues and to cater for patient’s varying preferences. Our treatments include Invisalign, Clearstep and Perfect Clear.

These systems are aligner treatments, which use removable appliances to gently guide the teeth into position and smooth out problems with misalignment. Invisalign is one of the world’s leading orthodontic treatments and it has become extremely popular, as more and more people look for a discreet alternative to fixed braces. Clearstep is similar and both treatments use a series of bespoke aligners, which are worn for 2 weeks at a time in a set order until treatment is complete. Perfect Clear uses specially designed K positioners to reposition the teeth.

Six Month Smiles, CFast and MTM No Trace Brace are systems that are designed to treat minor and moderate issues predominantly affecting the front teeth, known as the social 6. These braces are discreet, using tooth-coloured and clear components, and treatment times are short, with an average completion time of between 4 and 6 months.

Damon Braces are extremely advanced fixed braces and they are suitable for most patients, including those with the most complex needs. These braces use self-ligating wires and a sliding bracket mechanism to move the teeth quickly with minimal pain and they are much more discreet than traditional fixed braces.

Which fixed brace treatment is best for me?

Often, the treatment you choose will depend on the complexity of the orthodontic prescription. Once we have assessed your needs, we will be able to discuss your options with you and we can talk you through the pros and cons of each treatment to help you to decide which one is best.
