Monday, November 28th, 2016

Do you dream of staring at a perfectly straight set of pearly whites when you look in the mirror? Are you keen to investigate braces, but reluctant to take the plunge because you’re worried about your image, or what others will say? If so, we have good news! With MTM No Trace braces, we can straighten your teeth in secret. You can have the dazzling smile you dream of without worrying about what you’ll look like when you have your braces fitted.

Tell me about MTM No Trace braces!

MTM No Trace Brace is an innovative system, which straightens the teeth in secret. These braces work in a similar way to traditional fixed braces. However, they are secured to the back of the teeth, rather than the front. This means that it’s impossible to see the brace when you smile.

Many people come to us with reservations about wearing a brace. They worry about how it will impact their looks and their confidence. There may also be concerns about what other people will think or the impression it gives off. With MTM No Trace Brace, you don’t need to worry about any of this. You can simply get on with your treatment with peace of mind that nobody can see your braces.

MTM No Trace Brace is a system designed for patients who need minor correction. It targets the front teeth, and works incredibly quickly to give you the results you desire. Typically, treatment takes just 12-24 weeks.

What to Remember if Your Braces are Removable

Thursday, November 24th, 2016

Removable braces have become very popular in the last few years. Many patients prefer the convenience and flexibility of braces that you can take out. If you do have removable braces, there are some important things to remember to make sure that your treatment is a success.

Wearing your braces

When you’ve got a removable brace, the success of treatment is heavily dependent on you wearing your braces for the recommended time each and every day. With a fixed brace, a positive outcome is almost always guaranteed. If you don’t wear your removable brace, it simply won’t work. It’s your responsibility to make sure you have your braces in for the right period of time every day. Ideally you should really only take them out to clean them and when you eat and brush your teeth.

Keeping your braces clean

It’s really important to adopt good oral hygiene habits when you have a brace. Even though you won’t be wearing your brace when you eat, it is still possible for food debris and bacteria to collect in and around your braces. Make sure you clean your braces frequently. This will help to reduce the risk of decay and gum disease. If you have any questions about keeping your braces clean, our dental team will be more than happy to help!

Keeping your braces somewhere safe

You don’t want to lose your braces, or spend hours looking for them. If you take your brace out to brush your teeth or enjoy a meal, store them somewhere safe.

Wearing retainers

After you’ve had orthodontic treatment of any kind, it’s advisable to wear retainers. Retainers are customised orthodontic appliances, which hold the teeth in place and prevent movement. Wearing a retainer can help to reduce the risk of relapse.

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.

All About the Incredible Inman Aligner

Monday, July 18th, 2016

 If you’ve ever wanted to have orthodontic treatment but been put off by the prospect of wearing bulky braces or long treatment times, we may just have the perfect solution. The Inman Aligner is an exciting and innovative orthodontic appliance that can straighten the teeth in a matter of weeks.

What is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance that normally takes just 3-5 months to straighten the teeth. It is made up two major parts: are a coiled spring, which is located at the back of the front teeth, and a metal bar, which sits on the front of the teeth. The device works by generating forces that cause the teeth to move into the desired position. The forces are produced by the spring and the metal bar.

What is so impressive about the Inman Aligner?

The treatment is impressive for numerous reasons. The first major selling point is treatment time. Unlike most orthodontic treatments, which take at least 12 months, this system straightens the teeth in a matter of weeks and in most cases the whole procedure is complete within 3-5 months.

The system is also beneficial for patients because it uses the latest technology to move the teeth without any pain. The fact that it is removable also gives patients more flexibility and means that there are no problems with drinking, eating or cleaning the teeth.

How does the Inman Aligner work so fast?

I know what you’re thinking, there must be a catch! Thankfully, there are no catches and the Inman Aligner really is as good as it sounds. The appliance is able to work quickly because it focuses solely on the front teeth, as they are visible when you smile. This means that there is no time wasted correcting the alignment of the back teeth and results are visible almost immediately.

Who is the Inman Aligner for?

This is an ideal treatment for people who have minor or moderate orthodontic issues affecting their front teeth. It is also a great option for people who want the flexibility of a removable appliance and the benefit of extremely quick treatment. The Inman Aligner is also a popular treatment for people who have already had orthodontic treatment and started to experience relapse. Contact the team at Liverpool Dental Spa for more information or to arrange a consultation.

Quick and Effective Braces Treatment

Wednesday, March 16th, 2016

In the past, fixed braces were the only solution for problems like crooked and crowded teeth and misalignment, but now there is a huge range of treatment options, including the Inman Aligner.

What is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance that uses forces produced by a coiled spring and a metal bar to move the teeth. The forces squeeze the teeth, causing them to move. The Inman Aligner is a treatment for the front teeth. It focuses on the teeth that can be seen when you smile to reduce treatment time and is a great solution for patients who looking for a quick and discreet treatment.

Who is the Inman Aligner designed for?

The Inman Aligner is designed for patients who have minor orthodontic issues that affect the front teeth, for example mild crowding. As treatment is very quick, this is a popular choice for people who want to look their best for a special occasion. For example, brides or grooms who are preparing for their big day.

The Inman Aligner can also be beneficial for patients who have had braces in the past and started to suffer from relapse, which occurs when the teeth start to move out of position.

This treatment is not suitable for patients with more complex issues as it can only bring about a limited amount of movement. If you are not a suitable candidate for this treatment, we can discuss other treatments with you to find out what suits you perfectly.

How long does treatment take?

The most important advantage of the Inman Aligner is that it works incredibly quickly and much faster than almost all other treatments. Patients start to notice improvement after just a few weeks and almost all cases are complete within 16 weeks.

How the Inman Aligner Differs from Invisible Braces

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016

The Inman Aligner is a revolutionary and simple utility that aligns the front teeth both quickly and safely. It can do this in as little as six to sixteen weeks. Though sometimes mistaken or confused with invisible braces, they differ in numerous ways. The Inman Aligner for example is used mainly on the front teeth, whereas invisible braces can be used to treat the full arches (all of your teeth).

Other differences

Another difference is that Invisible Braces are made up of a specialised plastic which can’t apply as much pressure compared to the Inman Aligner, and this is why treatments using invisible braces can take an extended period of time (up to six months) to reap any results. The Inman Aligner doesn’t suffer from this as it creates a lot more pressure on the teeth due to the nature of its tiny nickel-titanium springs. This causes a much higher amount of tension and in turn straightens the teeth in far less time than the invisible braces would take. Because of this, Inman Aligner treatment is much less expensive too.

More on the Inman Aligner

With the invisible braces and other orthodontic treatments, frequent visits to the dentist are unfortunately part of the course and this can get quite tedious. The Inman Aligner on the other hand is pre-programmed to reduce the amount of these visits,  allowing you to live your life a lot more freely, without a visit to the dentist around the corner of every passing week. This lease of life is also compounded by the fact that, in comparison to invisible braces, Inman Aligners are very easy to remove, taking just seconds. This allows the wearer to eat when and as they want, without having to worry about a lengthy preparation process. For more information on the Inman Aligner braces system please contact our team in Liverpool today.

Get Straighter Teeth with the Inman Aligner

Thursday, October 8th, 2015

If you have to cope with the problem of teeth that aren’t straight enough but don’t like the idea of having to endure the endless months of treatment that come with a traditional brace, then maybe you should try the Inman Aligner.

The Inman Aligner is a quick, effective and most importantly convenient method of straightening the front teeth and has now become a major treatment for orthodontic relapses that require attention in adults.

The Inman Aligner is a custom made appliance that uses the latest technologies to move the teeth by generating forces to reposition them. Consisting of two key parts, the aligner is made of a coiled spring that is positioned behind the front teeth, and a fine metal bar that runs along the front of the teeth. These work together create the force that pushes the teeth back into their correct places.

Three stages of treatment

The treatment consists of three stages. The first will see your dentist examine your mouth to see if the treatment is right for you before discussing the process and answering any questions you have. During the second stage your dentist will analyse you smile, teeth, gums and bite in greater detail. During the final stage impressions of your teeth will be made and sent away so your braces can be made before being fitted when they are complete.

The Inman Aligner also has a number of advantages that other braces don’t have. Aside from working quickly and providing results within 6 – 16 weeks, the aligner can also be removed when eating, drinking or cleaning your teeth. The Inman Aligner is also worn for a set amount of time so you can reap the benefits, making it better in terms of ease compared to others. If you would like more information about the Inman Aligner please contact Liverpool Dental Spa.
