Awesome Orthodontics with the Invisalign System

Monday, June 8th, 2015

If you’re looking for an awesome solution for crowded, crooked or protruding teeth, look no further than Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is one of the world’s most popular orthodontic systems and it offers an amazing array of benefits for patients who need minor to moderate levels of correction. This treatment is completely different to traditional fixed brace treatments because it uses a series of custom-designed aligners to straighten the teeth. These aligners are made from clear plastic, which makes them virtually invisible and they are also removable, so you can continue to eat and brush your teeth with ease.

Invisalign treatment is suited to people with minor or moderate issues such as crowding and crooked teeth and it is a very popular choice for teenagers and adults who wish to remain incognito during the treatment process. With this system, there are no concerns about flashing a bulky metal brace every time you smile or worries about what other people will think when you go on a date, meet new people or go for an interview.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment is planned in advance and every patient has a unique treatment plan. Using this plan, bespoke aligners are created and are worn in sequence. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then replaced with the next in the series until you’re removing your final aligner for the last time. The aligners can be taken out very easily and you should remove them to eat and brush your teeth. We advise wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours per day to ensure the best results.

During your treatment we will organise check-ups to see how you are getting on and make sure treatment is progressing as anticipated. We will also always be at the end of the phone if you have any questions about your braces and you can pop in and see us at any time if you have any problems or queries.

Why is Invisalign so Amazing?

Saturday, May 16th, 2015

Years ago, invisible orthodontic treatment would have seemed an impossible dream, but with Invisalign, this amazing feat is now a reality. If you dream of a straight smile, but you can’t handle the thought of wearing highly visible braces, Invisalign could be just up your street.

What’s so good about Invisalign?

If you’ve heard dentists, colleagues or friends waxing lyrical about Invisalign, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. Here is a simple guide to why Invisalign is so beneficial for modern orthodontic patients:

  • Invisible aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are made from transparent high grade plastic, making them barely noticeable when you smile.
  • Ease and convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, so you don’t have to make huge changes to the way you do things when you start treatment. You can eat and brush your teeth as normal and it’s very easy to keep your aligners clean.
  • Comfort: Invisalign aligners are light and they are custom-made to fit your teeth and encourage tooth movement. There are no metal bands and no painful adjustments.
  • Better oral hygiene: with Invisalign, you an remove your braces quickly and easily when you want to clean your teeth and brush as normal. This reduces the risk of oral health issues such as decay and gum disease and helps to prevent staining.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses forces to move the teeth like other braces. However, it uses a different kind of approach. Rather than using a brace made of brackets and wires to apply pressure to the teeth, Invisalign employs a set of removable aligners to guide the teeth into position over time. Each aligner is different and the number you receive will depend on the complexity of your individual prescription and how much movement is required to straighten and align the teeth. The aligners are worn for two week periods and they are ordered according to the personalised treatment plan.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Every patient is different and it’s impossible to put a blanket time on Invisalign treatment. However, typically, cases take between 12 and 18 months to complete.

Discreet Braces for All Cases

Tuesday, March 24th, 2015

The world of orthodontics is changing all the time and we are now able to offer every patient a discreet treatment. We are delighted to have a wide range of options available in the centre of Liverpool and we look forward to working together to create your perfect smile.

Many of our patients come to us expressing a desire for a discreet brace because they don’t want to wear a cumbersome, highly visible brace or worry about what other people will think once they get their braces fitted. In the past, braces were clearly visible. However, there are now lots of discreet options available, including:

Invisalign, Clearstep and Perfect Clear: these clear aligner treatments use specially-made, transparent plastic aligners to correct minor and moderate orthodontic issues. The aligners are virtually invisible when they are placed over the teeth and they can be taken out when you eat and brush your teeth for added convenience.

CFast, Damon Braces and Six Month Smiles: these fixed brace systems offer a more discreet alternative to traditional fixed braces. CFast and Six Month Smiles are made from clear brackets and wires, while Damon Braces are much sleeker and smaller than traditional fixed braces.

Lingual braces: lingual braces are fixed braces that sit behind the teeth to enable secret treatment. These braces offer the reliability of fixed braces and the innovation and invisibility of clear braces. With these braces, you can smile and speak without anyone knowing that you’re wearing a brace.

The Inman Aligner: the Inman Aligner is not invisible like Clearstep and Invisalign. However, it is a very discreet option and it works incredibly quickly. All that is visible when you smile is a fine metal bar.

If you’re interested in discreet orthodontic treatment and you’d like to find out which treatments would be effective, call today, pop in and see us or fill in an online enquiry form and we will get back to you. Your new smile is waiting!

Secret Smiles with Invisalign Treatment

Tuesday, March 10th, 2015

If we told you that we could create stunning smiles in secret, what would you say? It sounds too good to be true, but with Invisalign, we really can straighten crooked and crowded teeth without anybody being able to spot the tiniest glimpse of a brace. Invisalign clear aligners are the perfect option for anyone who wants the results of orthodontic treatment without any of the hassle of wearing a visible brace.

What is Invisalign and what’s so great about it?

Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment ideally suited to patients who have orthodontic issues but don’t want the stress of wearing a visible brace. With Invisalign, you don’t need to worry about how you look, the image you portray at work or what other people think, as your brace will be completely invisible.

Invisalign is a different proposition to conventional orthodontics because it uses multiple appliances rather than a single brace. Each patient receives a set of specially designed, completely bespoke aligners, which work in sequence to achieve the desired tooth movement. Each aligner works for 2 weeks.

Invisalign offers many benefits for patients of all ages. It is flexible, has very little impact on day to day life and it gives you the chance to go through the treatment process without any worries about how you look. With Invisalign, you brush your teeth, drink and eat as you would do normally and you simply swap your aligners over every 2 weeks until the series is complete and your smile is perfectly straight.

Could Invisalign be the right choice for me?

Invisalign has a wide range of uses and it is a viable option for most patients. However, it is always worth exploring all the options open to you and we can talk you through the different treatments and make suggestions once we have analysed your bite and assessed your orthodontic prescription.

Improve Your Smile with Invisalign

Friday, February 6th, 2015

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that promises to improve the look of your smile with minimal fuss and virtual invisibility. If you’ve been looking for a treatment that enables you to enjoy a beautiful smile without dealing with the stigma of wearing a visible brace, Invisalign is just what you’ve been searching for.

Invisalign clear braces offer an amazing alternative to traditional fixed braces for adults and teenagers, and they give you the option to go through treatment without anyone even being able to tell that you’re wearing a brace.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment involves wearing multiple removable appliances that are made according to your personalised treatment plan. We use sophisticated computer software to plot the movement of the teeth and the individual plan is used to create your Invisalign aligners. Each patient receives a set of bespoke aligners and they are designed to be worn in order, with each aligner placed over the teeth for two weeks and then swapped until the treatment is complete.

Invisalign aligners produce gentle forces that move the teeth over the course of time. The aligners are shaped differently to allow room for tooth movement.

What do Invisalign aligners look like?

Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic and they look similar to a mouth guard, which is worn for sport. They are thin and light and they simply slide over the teeth. Once they are on your teeth they are virtually invisible, so you can smile without the anxiety of showing people your brace.

How long does treatment take?

Invisalign treatment is not usually a quick-fix, but it does provide an excellent solution for patients who require minor or moderate correction. On average treatment takes around 12 months. However, times vary according to how much movement is required.
