Five Reasons to Reconsider Braces in Adulthood

Friday, September 22nd, 2017

Often, we think about braces as a treatment for teenagers, but adult treatment is becoming increasingly popular. If you’ve put off having braces in the past, here are 5 good reasons to reconsider:

  1. Faster treatment: in years gone by, it was common to wear braces for at least 12 months and in some cases, patients wore braces for up to 3 years. Today, it’s a very different story, and we can straighten the teeth much faster. If you only need minor correction, you’re looking at results in weeks, rather than years.
  2. Discreet options: many people chose not to wear braces during their adolescence because braces used to be very cumbersome and unsightly. Nowadays, there are lots of discreet options on offer and you can even get invisible braces.
  3. Convenient treatments: braces used to be an inconvenience, but now, treatments fit into your normal daily regime seamlessly. Removable braces are particularly popular because they enable you to eat and brush your teeth normally.
  4. Improved confidence: wearing braces is not just about straightening and aligning the teeth. This makes the smile look more attractive, but it also boosts your confidence. If you’ve been hiding your smile away for years, braces can help to ensure you feel more comfortable when your smile is on show.
  5. Affordable options: braces can be expensive, but there are treatments to suit all budgets as well as finance options to help you spread the cost of treatment.

If you’re thinking about braces in adulthood, don’t hesitate to get in touch and find out more!

Did you know we can Straighten Teeth with No One Noticing?

Monday, June 26th, 2017

Have you ever thought about having orthodontic treatment, but been put off by the prospect of other people being able to see your braces? Perhaps you’re worried about what your friends would say or how wearing braces could affect your chances when it comes to dating or getting a job. If you’re anxious about braces, you’re not alone. The good news is that times have changed, and now, you don’t have to worry. We have treatments that will straighten your teeth without anybody else noticing. Allow us to introduce you to our invisible treatments:

Invisalign, ClearStep and Perfect Clear

These treatments are clear aligner treatments, which straighten the teeth using a series of removable, transparent aligners. These braces use gentle forces to move the teeth, and when the braces are in place, they are virtually undetectable. These treatments are suited to those with minor or moderate orthodontic issues.

MTM No Trace Brace

Have you ever wished you could have straight teeth without anybody being able to see that you’re wearing a brace? With MTM No Trace Brace, you can do just this. This system uses lingual braces, which are attached to the back of the teeth, rather than the front, to straighten the teeth in secret. These braces are geared towards patients who have minor issues, and they work quickly, with an average treatment time of just 12-24 weeks.

CFast

CFast braces are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional fixed braces. These sleek fixed braces are applied to the front of the teeth, so they’re not invisible like lingual braces. However, they are made from clear components and they are much lighter than traditional braces, so they are much harder to spot. CFast braces are suitable for most orthodontic patients and they produce results in around 4-6 months.

If you’re keen to find out more about discreet treatment options, call now and book an appointment!

Which Invisible Brace is Right For You?

Monday, May 22nd, 2017

Are you interested in braces? Are you looking for something discreet that will enable you to undergo treatment in secret? If so, here is a guide to our incredible invisible braces:

Removable braces

We are proud to offer an extensive selection of clear removable braces that includes Invisalign, ClearStep and Perfect Clear. These systems all utilise transparent aligners, which look very similar to mouth guards, to straighten the teeth. When the aligners are in position, they are virtually undetectable. Removable braces are usually recommended for patients with minor or moderate needs, as they cannot generate as much movement as fixed braces. The beauty of removable braces is that they enable you to get on with life as normal. You don’t have to worry about eating in public or trying to keep your teeth clean, as you can take your braces out when you eat and brush your teeth.

Fixed braces

You may assume that it’s impossible to get a discreet fixed brace, but you’d be wrong! With treatments like CFast and Six Month Smiles, we can straighten your teeth discreetly. Fixed braces may be advantageous for some patients because they provide more support than removable braces. Both these treatments have an average treatment time of just 6 months.

Lingual braces

Lingual braces are fixed braces, but there’s a major difference between lingual braces and conventional braces: lingual braces are attached to the back of the teeth, making them invisible to others. We offer MTM No Trace braces, which sit behind the teeth, enabling you to have treatment without anybody knowing. MTM No Trace braces produce results in just 12-24 weeks.

If you like the sound of invisible orthodontic treatment, call us and book a consultation today. We can discuss your options, and help you choose which treatment is best for you.

How Invisalign Straightens Teeth Subtly

Wednesday, April 5th, 2017

Many people suffer from tooth misalignment, but they’re reluctant to seek help because they don’t want to wear unsightly braces. Today, you can achieve a gorgeous, straight smile without worrying about your image thanks to subtle systems like Invisalign. If you’ve always wanted straight teeth, but you’ve been putting off seeing your dentist because you don’t like the sound of braces, now is the time to reconsider. With Invisalign, we can straighten your teeth and give you a beautiful new smile without anyone even knowing that you’ve had treatment.

What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is a clear brace system, which uses a series of bespoke removable braces called aligners to move the teeth. Treatment is planned in advance using innovative software, which predicts the movement of the teeth, and the aligners are drawn up according to your individual treatment plan. You wear each aligner for 2 weeks, and then swap it for the next one in the sequence.

Invisalign aligners are removable, and they are designed to be taken out when you eat, drink and clean your teeth. Although it’s very easy to take your aligners out, we recommend wearing the braces for around 22 hours per day to achieve the best results.

What’s so good about Invisalign?

Many people are anxious about having braces because they assume that they’ll be painful and they worry about what other people will think. With Invisalign, you don’t have to have any concerns because the braces are virtually invisible, and they’re also very comfortable. You can take them out to eat and brush your teeth so you don’t need to make any changes to your diet or your oral hygiene regime, and there are no painful metal parts or appointments required to tighten the braces.

If you’re keen to learn more, give us a call now or get in touch online to book a consultation.

How To Perfect Your Smile with Perfect Clear

Wednesday, March 29th, 2017

If you’re searching for a treatment that can give you a perfect, straight smile without any hassle at all, look no further than Perfect Clear. This clear brace system uses bespoke K positioners to correct misalignment with maximum discretion.

About Perfect Clear

Perfect Clear is a clear brace treatment, which uses a series of custom-designed removable aligners called K positioners to gently guide the teeth into position. Each K positioner is unique, and the braces work in a set order. These lightweight aligners are not just virtually invisible. They’re also comfortable and they’re removable, so treatment fits in with your normal lifestyle. You can eat and brush your teeth as normal, and you don’t have to feel anxious about getting food stuck in your brace.

Perfect Clear is ideally suited to patients who have minor misalignment. The range of movement is limited, so it’s not the best choice for those who need extensive correction.

The Benefits of Perfect Clear

Perfect Clear braces are light, convenient and most importantly, very discreet. Many patients are reluctant to have treatment because they don’t want to be lumbered with unattractive braces for months on end. With this system, image doesn’t have to be a concern, as nobody will even be able to tell that you’re wearing braces. With Perfect Clear, you can enjoy a stunning smile and improved confidence with minimal hassle.

If you’re interested in orthodontic treatment and you’d like to see if Perfect Clear could be a perfect solution for you, call us today and book a consultation.

Which Clear Braces Are Right For You?

Friday, February 10th, 2017

More and more people are choosing to have braces, and one of the main reasons is the introduction of invisible braces. In the past, patients particularly adults, were reluctant to have orthodontic treatment because they didn’t want the hassle or stress of wearing visible braces. Braces have never been something that boosts your street cred, but now, everything is different. With clear braces, you can achieve the smile you’ve always wanted without having to worry about your appearance or what other people think. If you’re considering invisible braces, here are some of the most popular clear brace treatments.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the world’s leading orthodontic systems. It’s a great option for patients who want to undergo treatment without compromising their image or self-esteem in the process. Invisalign aligners are made from transparent plastic, and this means that they’re virtually undetectable when you smile. They’re also removable, so you can eat without any anxiety about getting food trapped in your teeth and clean your teeth without any hassle at all. Invisalign is usually recommended for patients with minor or moderate orthodontic concerns.

Clearstep

Clearstep braces work in a very similar way to Invisalign. They are clear, removable braces, which slide over the teeth in a similar way to a mouth guard. Clearstep may be a cheaper option, and it can be a viable choice for most patients over the age of 14.

Perfect Clear

Perfect Clear uses a series of bespoke K positioners to gently guide the teeth into position. These positioners are similar to the aligners used by Invisalign and Clearstep. Treatment time will depend on the nature of your orthodontic needs and the amount of movement required.

CFast10

CFast braces offer an alternative to the removable braces mentioned above. These clear braces are fixed braces. You may assume that fixed braces are highly visible, but with CFast, you can enjoy the reliability of fixed braces, as well as discretion. CFast braces are very delicate, and they are made from clear and tooth-coloured parts, which makes them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. CFast treatment is ideal for those who have problems that affect the social 6, the front teeth. The average treatment time is around 6 months.

We understand that for many patients, aesthetics are everything, and we are delighted to have an impressive array of clear brace systems on offer. If you’d like to learn more, or you’re wondering which brace would be best for you, why not ring us today and book a consultation?

Get a Perfect Straight Smile with Perfect Clear Braces

Monday, December 26th, 2016

More and more people are coming to us hoping to find a treatment that will provide them with a beautifully straight smile. In the past, patients had a very limited range of treatment options. However, today, there’s a whole range of options on offer, including Perfect Clear. If you’re searching for an invisible solution for crooked or crowded teeth, this could be the choice for you!

How does Perfect Clear work and what does treatment entail?

Perfect Clear is a bespoke invisible aligner system, which uses a series of aligners, known as K positioners, to straighten out orthodontic issues. Each positioner is slightly different, and it’s essential to follow the sequence perfectly.

Perfect Clear positioners are made from transparent plastic; they slide over the teeth in a similar way to a mouth guard. Once they are in place, it’s virtually impossible to detect them. This means that you can smile with confidence, and nobody has to know that you’re undergoing treatment.

Most people prioritise aesthetics when they’re choosing an orthodontic treatment. However, many patients are also impressed by the convenience this system offers. Perfect Clear aligners are removable, and this means that you can take them out to eat meals and brush your teeth. Effectively, you can go about your daily business as you did before you started wearing braces, and treatment will have little impact. Cleaning the braces is also much easier than with fixed braces.

Can I benefit from Perfect Clear?

Perfect Clear braces are ideally suited to patients who have minor issues; they are an excellent choice for patients who don’t want to hang around to see the results of treatment, as they work rapidly. If you’d like to see if you’re a suitable candidate for treatment, simply book a consultation online, or give our friendly reception team a bell.

Delightfully Discreet Braces!

Friday, February 12th, 2016

Although TV programmes like Ugly Betty may be a laugh, none of us want to wear braces that carry stigma because of how they make us look. Our first impressions matter, including our smiles.

At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer individuals choices in the latest modern braces systems, such as Invisalign. Those with mild orthodontic conditions may benefit from Invisalign teeth straightening technology.

Clear braces

Designed as an alternative to conventional metal braces, Invisalign improves the orthodontic experience for those desiring healthy, aligned teeth. Dental overcrowding, irregularly spaced teeth, skew or protruding teeth may be treated with Invisalign invisible braces.

Invisalign is a popular choice among Liverpool city dwellers and visitors because of its discretion. Made from clear plastic aligners, Invisalign braces are near invisible to the naked eye so that it is not obvious to others that teeth straightening treatment is in progress.

A healthier option, Invisalign aligners fit over the teeth like a transparent mouth guard and are replaced every two weeks as teeth gradually move back into their proper positions. The device is removable for oral hygiene practice, meals and activities. Comfortable to wear, Invisalign straightens teeth effectively within 12 to 18 months if worn for about 22 hours per day.

Get a straighter smile

Our dentist listens to your needs, assesses your oral health and recommends suitability for Invisalign teeth straightening treatment. Individuals are involved in their smile design with impressions and photos taken for custom-making of their own Invisalign invisible braces. Clincheck 3D technology allows individuals to see the before and end results of treatment.

Within the shortest time, Invisalign braces transform a person’s smile for improved appearance and confidence in self-image. Invisalign technology gently aligns teeth while preserving a person’s natural beauty and smile.

Why Choose Clear Braces In The Heart Of Liverpool

Monday, December 2nd, 2013

Unsurprisingly, invisible braces have become incredibly popular in the last few years and more and more are choosing to have orthodontic treatment because there are now invisible alternatives to traditional fixed braces available. We understand that image is important and many of our patients worry that wearing braces will have a negative impact on their looks; now, we are able to offer a solution, which will give you a beautiful smile without anyone else being able to notice that you are wearing braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative invisible brace system, which uses removable aligners to straighten the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, the aligners are not fixed to the teeth; they sit over the top of the teeth. Invisalign aligners create forces, which cause the teeth to move; the treatment uses a series of aligners, rather than a single appliance, to straighten the teeth and each aligner is slightly different to allow room for tooth movement.

Invisalign is designed to provide patients with a discreet alternative to traditional braces. In the past, many people were put off having treatment because they didn’t want to be seen wearing a brace, but this is no longer a concern and you can now feel confident when you have treatment.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment is planned in advance using state of the art software, which converts images of your mouth into a treatment plan; your aligners are custom-made and they are designed to be worn in a set order, with each one in place for 2 weeks. The aligners are all different.

Invisalign is a removable brace system, but it is important that you wear your braces for at least 21 hours every day; if you don’t there is a risk that the treatment will not work properly.
