Fantastic Fast Acting Braces

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016

Many people are reluctant to have orthodontic treatment because they assume that it takes years; however, there have been major developments and advances in the world of orthodontics and we are delighted to offer patients an amazing fixed brace treatment, which straightens the teeth to create beautiful smiles in just six months!

About Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is an innovative, fast-acting fixed brace system, which produces fantastic results in a fraction of the time of most other fixed brace treatments. The key to this treatment is that it focuses on the teeth at the front of your mouth, known as the ‘social 6’; these are the teeth that can be seen when you smile.

Six Month Smiles is technically advanced treatment, which uses self-ligating wires to reduce discomfort and speed up tooth movement.

Who is the ideal candidate for Six Month Smiles treatment?

Six Month Smiles is designed for patients who have minor or moderate crowding, small gaps between the front teeth, mild issues with underbite or overbite or slightly crooked front teeth. It is not suitable for patients with complex needs or issues that affect the back teeth.

Six Month Smiles is a great choice for people who have time constraints. For example, if you have minor issues you want to address in time for a wedding or your graduation.

What are the benefits of Six Month Smiles

Aside from the obvious benefit of speedy treatment, Six Month Smiles also offers discretion, as the braces are made from tooth-coloured wires and transparent brackets, so they are much less visible than traditional fixed braces. These braces also use low-pressure forces to move the teeth, which reduces friction and makes treatment much more comfortable. As these braces work so quickly, they are an excellent option for patients who cannot wait to show off the results of their treatment.

The Groundbreaking Inman Aligner

Friday, September 2nd, 2016

At Liverpool Dental Spa, we’re always on the watch for ground-breaking treatments that will make a positive difference to our clients and the Inman Aligner is one of our most treasured treatments. This innovative removable orthodontic appliance produces outstanding results in a matter of weeks, providing patients who have minor orthodontic issues with a swift and hassle-free alternative to traditional braces. If you’re looking for a fast and simple solution to troublesome front teeth, this could be the perfect choice for you.

About the Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a discreet, removable brace designed to align the teeth with minimal stress. The aligner works by generating forces that push and pull the teeth, moving them into position and creating beautifully straight smiles. These forces are produced by two main parts, which can be found behind the front teeth (a coiled spring) and along the front of the teeth (a fine metal bar). The Inman Aligner doesn’t promise complete invisibility, but it is a much more discreet option than many other types of brace, as the only part you can see is the metal bar.

The main advantage of the Inman Aligner is the speed of treatment. As this aligner is designed for patients who only need minor correction and it uses the latest technology, treatment times are incredibly short and most cases are completed within 16 weeks. With this treatment, you can also enjoy greater freedom afforded by having a removable brace. You can take your aligner out to eat and drink and you can also continue to brush your teeth as normal. This appliance targets the front teeth and is a great choice for people who don’t need the intensive treatment provided by conventional fixed braces and for those who have already had treatment and started to experience relapse.

If you think the Inman Aligner sounds like a perfect match for you, why not give us a call and book a consultation? Our expert dentists will be able to tell you more about the treatment and assess your needs to see whether this could be a viable option for you.

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.

Everything You Need to Know About Damon Braces in Liverpool

Tuesday, November 18th, 2014

Damon Braces is one of the best orthodontic systems on the market, but what’s all the fuss about and could Damon Braces be the ideal choice for you?

The ins and outs

Damon Braces essentially are  fixed braces that use modern technology to minimise pain and reduce treatment time. Unlike conventional fixed braces, Damon Braces have self-ligating wires along with sliding brackets that reduce friction and increase the speed of tooth movement. They are considerably smaller and more discreet than ordinary fixed braces and they allow a huge amount of movement, which makes them a viable option for patients with complex orthodontic needs.

These braces are also able to create space, which means that most patients do not need to have teeth extracted before they start treatment.

What’s the treatment time?

Treatment time for Damon Braces varies according to the amount of movement required and what kind of issues the individual patient has. Typically, treatment with Damon Braces is around 4-6 months faster than ordinary fixed braces. When you have your consultation and your dentist has evaluated your needs, they will be happy to discuss treatment times with you.

Who is the ideal candidate for Damon Braces?

Appropriate for patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems, Damon Braces provide a really effective solution for problems with the bite, as well as the spacing and alignment of the teeth. They often provide an alternative to conventional fixed braces for patients who need a lot of movement and therefore cannot benefit from removable aligners.

The Benefits Of Fixed Braces Treatment For Patients In Liverpool

Friday, June 14th, 2013

Thankfully, dentists have vastly improved on traditional braces systems that cause painful mouth irritation and poor oral hygiene during teeth straightening treatment. Modern fixed braces systems have revolutionised orthodontics for treating mild to severe orthodontic conditions so that more people may receive the teeth straightening treatment they need.

Treating orthodontic conditions

Teeth that irregularly positioned due to tooth gaps, are crooked, protruding or misaligned may be corrected with a fixed braces system. If left untreated, these types of orthodontic conditions may lead to bite or jaw disorders and general health may suffer too.

For some the thought of braces is daunting. Pictures of harsh metal braces covering front teeth may flood the mind. We may be reminded of Ugly Betty and the stigma of metal “train-track” braces. At Liverpool Dental Spa we invest in the best teeth straightening treatments so that individuals may experience greater comfort, better health and an aesthetically-pleasing look during treatment.

Low-friction fixed braces systems

Where some orthodontic conditions may be treatable with modern invisible braces systems made of clear plastic aligners, not all conditions are suitably treated with this discrete option. Our dentist evaluates each person and recommends teeth straightening treatment accordingly.

Low-friction braces systems are an alternative for fast and effective teeth straightening. We offer In-Ovation R and Damon fixed braces systems so that you may have the choice of a treatment that is right for your needs.

Gently attached to the teeth, the brackets connect to an archwire that repositions teeth using orthodontic pressure. These fixed braces systems are of a light modern design with clear brackets or tooth-coloured material for greater discretion during treatment.
