Problems such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth or teeth that stick out are not at all uncommon, but they can still cause lack of confidence. However, the solution to such problems, wearing orthodontic braces, can seem just as embarrassing to some people as the original concern. Help is at hand though at Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Spa in Liverpool with the innovative new Perfect Clear braces, for discreet orthodontic treatment.

What is Perfect Clear?

The Perfect Clear system involves the use of custom-made ‘invisible’ aligners that fit over the teeth. After having taken impressions of your teeth, aligners will be made to fit your specific tooth and mouth shape, to help to encourage your teeth into the correct position using unique K positioners. The aligner looks like a clear plastic mould which sits on top of the teeth, and as your teeth gradually change position, you will be given different aligners to help continue treatment.

Why is Perfect Clear preferable to other treatments?

The Perfect Clear braces are, as the name suggests, clear, and so cannot be seen unless you look very closely. This means that it is possible to correct cosmetic or orthodontic issues with teeth without the need for obvious, traditional ‘train-track’ braces or cumbersome retainers. The Perfect Clear system is thus perfect for people who are already self-conscious about their teeth, and may feel that wearing a brace would cause further embarrassment. In addition, the Perfect Clear braces are removable, meaning that there is far less possibility of bad oral health than with other types of brace, as they are very easy to clean: simply remove the aligners and rinse them to ensure that food particles do not build up in them. They can also be removed for eating, to make this even easier. Perfect Clear braces will allow you to have better oral health, improved bite function and better jaw alignment, without the need for any obviously visible orthodontic treatment.
