Liverpool Braces – Fixed vs. Removable

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.
