Set Your Teeth Straight with Invisalign

Tuesday, June 28th, 2016

Improve your smile with the treatment everyone’s been talking about from the experienced dentists at Liverpool Dental Spa.

With people’s lifestyles getting busier and more hectic, it’s hard to find the time – and money – to search out a procedure both discreet and effective that will fit in with your daily routine. But the search is over, thanks to the innovative technology of Invisalign. Used by over 32 million people the world over, the Santa Clara manufacturer has helped design the perfect aligners for the perfect smile – and courtesy of its transparent appearance, no one has to know you’re having this treatment other than yourself and your dentist.

Straight teeth don’t just mean a great smile, but great health. Crooked teeth are harder to clean, and are also one of the primary factors of decay and other dental issues. With at least 50 percent of patients experiencing tooth decay whilst wearing fixed braces, the Invisalign technology makes for an easier and more hygienic form of treatment – allowing the user the option to remove their aligners as and when they wish to.

The average timeline of treatment lasts from about six months to just over a year.  After consulting with your orthodontist, impressions of your teeth will be recorded along with X-rays that are then sent off to Align Technology, USA.  Through the use of computer simulation, a series of aligners gradually correcting your teeth into a straight position will be produced. You will then be required to wear them over a prescribed amount of time.  You will need to work through the sets every two weeks and, once your teeth are straightened, will require the use of a retainer. But again this will be clear and removable, ensuring complete flexibility and freedom.

Invisible Braces and Healthy Teeth in Liverpool

Friday, March 4th, 2016

Invisalign is a very popular treatment, as it offers orthodontic patients a host of benefits and enables patients to get an amazing looking smile without anyone else being able to notice their braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is modern and innovative orthodontic treatment that straightens the teeth using a number of transparent aligners. Each aligner is slightly different and they are worn in a set order, with each one in place for two weeks.

Invisalign aligners gently guide the teeth into position and enable patients to have treatment without them having to worry about what they look like or what other people think about the fact that they are wearing braces.

Healthy teeth and gums with Invisalign

One of the things people like most about Invisalign is that the braces are removable. This means that patients have more sense of freedom and the ability to take their aligners out to clean their teeth. Braces can make oral hygiene a problem, especially as brackets and bands tend to attract food deposits and plaque. With aligners, there are no bands and brackets and you can continue to brush your teeth in the normal way, having taken your aligner out.

Is Invisalign for me?

Invisalign is suitable for most orthodontic patients and it can be used to treat a range of problems, including crooked and crowded teeth and mild or moderate issues with the bite. This treatment is a particularly attractive prospect for patients who want the results of orthodontic treatment without having to wear a visible brace.

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.

 

Straight Teeth with Discreet Aligners by Invisalign

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

We are always eager to cater for our client’s needs and desires and our discreet aligners are the perfect solution for patients who want a straight smile without the inconvenience of wearing fixed braces. Invisalign is one of our most popular orthodontic treatments and it’s no surprise, as this system offers a host of benefits for patients of all ages.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an alternative to fixed braces for many patients and it provides a solution for the many patients who wish to have treatment without wearing a highly visible orthodontic appliance. Rather than using fixed braces made from wires and brackets to straighten the teeth, Invisalign employs a series of invisible aligners made from clear plastic to move the teeth.

Each aligner is different and treatment is planned in advance using sophisticated computer software. Each aligner remains in place for two weeks and is then swapped for the next in the series until treatment has finished. The aligners are removable and should be taken out when you brush your teeth and eat.

How long does treatment take?

The treatment time varies according to your needs and how much movement is required. Typically, treatment with Invisalign takes around 12-18 months. Your dentist will be able to give you a better idea of how long treatment will take after your consultation.

Who can benefit from Invisalign?

Invisalign is suitable for patients of all ages and it can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues including crowding, spaces between the teeth and problems with the bite. In some cases, there may be other options that are better suited and we will happily discuss these options during your consultation in the city of Liverpool.

What To Do When You Lose An Aligner

Monday, September 14th, 2015

We are proud to be a leading Invisalign provider in the North West and our experienced dentists have already helped hundreds of people to achieve beaming, beautiful smiles using this innovative technique. If you’re interested in Invisalign aligner treatment or you’re looking for an invisible means of straightening out orthodontic problems, here is a brief guide to tell you everything you need to know about Invisalign:

Invisalign: a brief overview

Invisalign is a clear brace system that uses a series of bespoke transparent plastic aligners to gently straighten the teeth. Each patient is presented with a set of aligners, fabricated according to a personalised treatment plan. The movement of the teeth is plotted using state of the art software and each aligner is worn for two weeks. Invisalign offers an alternative to fixed braces for those with minor or moderate orthodontic issues and it is a very popular choice for teenagers and adults who wish to enjoy treatment in secret. As well as providing invisible aesthetics, Invisalign aligners are also comfortable and convenient, as you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth and drink.

What happens if I lose an aligner?

We all lose things from time to time and it can be very frustrating when we can’t for the life of us find what we’re looking for. With Invisalign, it is possible to replace lost aligners, but it can take time as the aligners are custom-made at the Invisalign laboratory in America. If you can’t find an aligner, stay calm and retrace your steps. If you’ve been eating, drinking or cleaning your teeth, you may find that you’ve popped your aligner down in the kitchen or by the bathroom sink. We recommend calling us as soon as you can if you have misplaced an aligner so we can advise you on what to do and order a new aligner for you if necessary.

Invisible Treatment with Invisalign Aligners

Friday, August 28th, 2015

One of the most important and popular innovations in recent years has been the introduction of the invisible brace. Now, we are able to straighten teeth with minimal impact on the look of your smile during the treatment process. Thanks to incredible treatments like Invisalign, you can obtain the smile of your dreams without anyone even knowing you’ve been wearing a brace!

About Invisalign treatment

Invisalign is an invisible brace system that offers you the opportunity to undergo treatment in secret. Unlike most other braces, this system involves using a series of custom-designed clear aligners that work to straighten your teeth without making you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about your brace. The aligners are made from high-grade clear plastic and slide over the teeth in a similar way to a mouth guard worn for sport. Once they are in position over the teeth they are barely visible, so nobody will be able to spot them when you smile.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign aligners work in sequence. Each patient receives their own set of custom-fit aligners, which are fabricated based on a personalised treatment plan. The aligners are all different and are shaped to allow room for movement. The appliances generate forces that gently reposition and align the teeth. Each aligner stays in place for two weeks.

Invisalign aligners are comfortable and give you flexibility as you can remove them quickly and easily when you want to eat, drink or brush your teeth. We recommend wearing the aligners for at least 21 hours each day to ensure the best possible results.

Is Invisalign for me?

Invisalign is generally suited to those with minor or moderate issues and is an excellent choice for those wishing to enjoy convenience, comfort and discretion. If you like the sound of Invisalign and have been dreaming of an invisible solution for orthodontic problems, call today and we’ll have you beaming in no time!

Invisalign is Perfect for Patients on the Go

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2015

We understand that many of our clients have hectic work and social schedules and this is why we’re always on the lookout for innovations, which offer convenience and flexibility. Invisalign is an incredible orthodontic system, which fits in with your daily routine and makes the process of achieving a stunning straight smile as easy and stress-free as possible.

Everything you need to know about Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system, which is a great option for patients who are always on the go. This system uses a set of specially designed removable appliances, called aligners, to move the teeth, creating a perfectly aligned smile with minimal impact on your day to day life.

Invisalign aligners are custom-designed for each individual patient and they are very easy to use; they glide into position over the teeth and they can be taken out very quickly and easily when you eat and brush your teeth. Invisalign aligners look like very delicate gum shields and they are made from clear plastic, making them virtually invisible to others.

The treatment process

The treatment process for Invisalign is slightly different to other treatments because it involves using multiple aligners, rather than a single brace. Each Invisalign patient receives a set of bespoke aligners, which are manufactured based on a detailed personalised treatment plan. Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and the aligners work in sequence. Patients are advised to take the aligner out to eat and clean the teeth; although they are removable, which gives you greater flexibility, it is important to wear the aligners for around 22 hours per day to ensure the best results.

Is Invisalign for me?

If you’re looking for a simple, effective, discreet and comfortable solution for mild or moderate orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be the perfect match. Call us today to arrange a consultation and our expert dentists will talk you through the treatment and check that this is a suitable option for you.

Fixed Braces vs. Removable Braces

Thursday, July 2nd, 2015

If you’re wondering about having orthodontic treatment, you may have come across fixed and removable braces during your research, but which option is better and what are the pros and cons of each? Here is a brief guide to fixed and removable braces:

Fixed braces

Fixed braces have been used to straighten the teeth and iron out orthodontic issues for many decades and they are proven to work extremely effectively. Today, there are lots of different types of fixed brace out there and advances in technology and design mean that you can now enjoy the reliability and efficacy of fixed braces with additional aesthetic benefits, speed and improved comfort. Fixed braces are often recommended for patients who have moderate or complex orthodontic needs, as they can generate a lot of movement and they provide more support than removable braces. Although fixed braces are less discreet than clear aligners and more difficult to clean, they are proven to work in every case and you will quickly become accustomed to eating, brushing your teeth and drinking with them in place.

Examples of our amazing fixed brace treatments include:

  • CFast
  • Six Month Smiles
  • Damon Braces
  • MTM No Trace Brace (these are lingual braces, which are secured onto the back of the teeth)

Removable braces

Removable braces have become very popular because they offer greater convenience and discreet aesthetics. Removable aligners allow you to continue with life as normal without having to worry about adapting the way you clean your teeth or eat and they are often very discreet, sometimes even virtually invisible. Removable braces also give you more freedom, but this can be a blessing in disguise, as the success of treatment depends on you ensuring that you wear the braces for the recommended time each day. Removable braces are generally recommended for patients who only require a limited amount of movement.

Examples of our revolutionary removable braces include:

  • Invisalign
  • Inman Aligner
  • Clearstep
  • Perfect Clear

Which treatment is best for me?

Often, your dental needs will dictate which treatment options are most suitable and once we have assessed your bite and had a good look at your teeth, we will be happy to make recommendations and help you choose the perfect treatment based on what you are looking for from your treatment, how much movement is required and the level of intensity and any additional factors you want to consider, such as treatment fees and time.
