Take a ClearStep forward in Liverpool

Monday, October 23rd, 2017

Are you searching for a simple way of straightening your teeth? If so, why not take a ClearStep forward in Liverpool?

What is ClearStep?

ClearStep is a very simple, effective removable brace system, which uses a series of clear appliances to move the teeth and give you a gorgeous new smile. ClearStep braces, also known as aligners, are made from transparent plastic, so they can’t be seen when you smile. This means that you don’t have to worry about what you look like while you’re having treatment.

What does treatment involve?

ClearStep treatment uses a series of aligners to realign the teeth. You will be given a collection of bespoke braces, which have been manufactured based on your individual orthodontic prescription. You’ll wear each brace for around 2 weeks and then swap the aligner for the next in the sequence until treatment is complete.

ClearStep braces are removable, which gives you flexibility, but it’s so important to make sure you wear the aligners for the recommended time each day. If you don’t wear your braces for at least 21 hours per day, there’s a risk that you won’t get the results you wanted. ClearStep aligners are designed to be taken out for eating and cleaning the teeth.

Am I a good match for ClearStep?

ClearStep is ideally suited to those with minor or moderate needs. Removable braces are not usually the best option for complex cases, as they cannot provide the stability of fixed braces and the range of movement is more limited. If you have minor or moderate issues and you’re looking for a straightforward, discreet solution that will fit into your daily life seamlessly, call today to find out more!

Going Incognito: How Lingual Braces Change Everything about Fixed Braces

Monday, October 2nd, 2017

If you’ve heard negative things about fixed braces, we are aiming to change your mind! Forget everything you’ve ever heard about bulky, ugly, painful braces and let us introduce you to a ground-breaking treatment, which can give you a perfect smile in secret. Hopefully, Incognito may just persuade you that fixed braces are the best!

About Incognito

Incognito is an orthodontic system, which uses fixed braces to move the teeth into the desired position. You may think that this sounds the same as any other fixed brace treatment, but there’s one major difference with Incognito. This is a lingual brace system, which means that the braces are attached to the back of the teeth. If you’ve ever dreamt of having treatment without anyone being able to notice your braces, this doesn’t have to be a dream any longer!

Incognito braces are advanced and they use the latest technology to move the teeth as quickly as possible. These braces are suitable for most patients and they can be used to achieve significant movement. Typically, if you’re a good match for traditional fixed braces, this will be a viable option for you.

The benefits of Incognito

Many people are reluctant to have braces because they’re worried about their image or the impact braces could have on their career or their confidence. With Incognito, the braces cannot be seen when you smile or talk, and this means that you don’t have to be anxious or uneasy about changes to your appearance. Incognito braces are also bespoke. Every individual bracket is designed for you and Incognito braces are made from high-quality materials, including gold. There’s an assumption that lingual braces must be painful because of the distance between the brace and the tongue, but lingual braces are a lot smaller and sleeker than conventional braces and they also use friction-free forces to minimise discomfort.

If you’re keen to find out more about Incognito or you would like to see if this is a good match for you, call us today and book a consultation.

Speedy Straightening with CFast

Thursday, December 29th, 2016

Is time of the essence? Are you eager to find the fastest route to a brilliant new smile? If you’re looking for an orthodontic treatment that will transform your smile in months rather than years, we have good news. Allow us to introduce you to CFast.

Everything you need to know about CFast

CFast offers a discreet and speedy alternative to traditional fixed braces. CFast focuses on the front teeth, known as the social 6, and this enables it to work a lot faster than conventional braces. In most cases, treatment can be completed within six months.

CFast is not just a speedy option. It also offers additional benefits. These braces are more delicate than traditional fixed braces, and this means that they’re easier to keep clean. They’re also made from ceramic materials and feature clear brackets, so they are much harder to detect than other fixed braces.

Fixed braces may not seem as convenient as removable braces. However, they are guaranteed to produce results. With removable braces, the success of treatment is often dependent on the patient following their dentist’s instructions at all times. If you don’t wear the brace enough, your results will be affected. With a fixed brace, there’s no risk of being disappointed when treatment is complete.

Is CFast suitable for everyone?

CFast is designed to offer a fast-acting solution for those who have orthodontic imperfections that affect the teeth at the front of the mouth, the social 6. This treatment may not be recommended for those who have more complex issues that require significant movement. In this case, we will be happy to explore some other options with you. We are able to offer discreet and rapid treatments for all our patients, including those with more complex needs.

Call us now to find out how you could get a perfectly straight smile for 2017.

Introducing The MTM No Trace Braces In Central Liverpool

Tuesday, January 7th, 2014

Perfect rhymes, like ‘trace’ and ‘brace’, are hard not to notice. The name of the ‘MTM No Trace’ cleverly suggests, through rhymed association, that it is a brace system, but also, through the absence of the actual word ‘brace’, points to its most striking feature: It is practically invisible, seemingly absent.

What is the MTM No Trace?

It is an invisible, fixed brace system for patients suffering from minor orthodontic issues. They operate like conventional fixed braces, except, unlike their traditional counterparts, MTM No Trace braces are fitted on the inside of the mouth, meaning they cannot be seen.

The benefits of the No Trace brace

The most obvious benefit of the brace is cosmetic: By being attached to the back of your teeth, the No Trace brace avoids all the unfortunate associations, which a fixed brace conjures. By being fixed, however, it also avoids a common problem associated with removable, invisible aligners: They eliminate human error. Aligners can be removed for cleaning or for brief social occasions, but forgetting to put them back in can lead to dire consequences: Forgetting to put an aligner back in place can delay treatment drastically and lead to increased costs. Thankfully, as MTM No Trace braces are fixed, you need not worry about such things. To top it all off, you won’t even be not-worrying for very long: This brace system is speedy and can produce a wonderfully straight smile in between twelve and twenty four weeks.

Is this treatment suitable for all?

The MTM No Trace brace system is specifically designed for patients requiring minor orthodontic corrections and best suited to performing small movements in teeth. As a result of this, it is not appropriate for those requiring more complex or extensive dental work. Fear not, however, as, if this treatment is not best suited for your needs, we at Liverpool Dental Spa can easily recommend alternative treatments. For those only requiring minor corrections, however, the MTM No Trace brace should work a treat.

If you are interested in, or even just a little curious about, this wonderful fixed brace system, then please call us at Liverpool Dental Spa and book a consultation.
