The Many Benefits of Six Month Smiles

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

If you’re looking for an orthodontic treatment that offers an amazing range of benefits, look no further than Six Month Smiles, our revolutionary teeth straightening treatment that takes just six months to produce beautiful smiles.

All about Six Month Smiles

Most fixed brace treatments take at least a year to straighten the teeth, so this is a really impressive treatment. Six Month Smiles uses the latest technology, including self-ligating wires, to move the teeth rapidly and offers a fast and comfortable alternative to traditional fixed braces. Speed is important for many patients, as they want to show off their new smile as quickly as possible, so this is a great option for those looking for short treatment times.

Six Month Smiles works much faster than traditional braces for two main reasons. Firstly, the technology is extremely advanced and this means that the actual movement of the teeth is quicker. Secondly, the braces focus solely on the front teeth, as these are the teeth than can be seen when you speak and smile.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles

The best thing about Six Month Smiles is the speed of treatment, but there are so many other advantages. These braces are made from tooth-coloured components, making them very discreet and the self-ligating wires help to prevent discomfort. As treatment works so quickly, these braces provide an ideal solution for people who want to look their best and have a deadline, such as a wedding celebration, an important interview or a graduation ceremony in mind.

Could this be the treatment for me?

Six Month Smiles is a great option for patients who have mild or moderate issues with their front teeth and an excellent choice for those who would prefer a more discreet brace than traditional fixed braces. We will be able to ascertain whether this is a good option for you during your consultation. We will also be happy to discuss other treatment options with you.

Improve Your Confidence with Perfect Clear Braces in the Heart of Liverpool

Saturday, July 26th, 2014

One of the main reasons people worry about having braces is their image. Braces can be unsightly and unattractive and this can make you feel less confident, especially in social settings. Thankfully, we have options available for patients who have these concerns and our amazing clear braces will help you to feel confident during the treatment process.

Advantages of clear braces

Clear braces give you the opportunity to feel more confident during the treatment process when you have braces. With clear braces, you can smile without worrying about what you look like or how others perceive you because you are wearing braces. Clear braces are also a great option for adults who have professional roles and rely on face to face contact as part of their job description and would like to maintain a certain image, as they produce incredible results without anyone being able to see the brace.

Our clear brace treatments

We offer a range of clear brace options to suit patients with all kinds of orthodontic issues and to cater for patient’s varying preferences. Our treatments include Invisalign, Clearstep and Perfect Clear.

These systems are aligner treatments, which use removable appliances to gently guide the teeth into position and smooth out problems with misalignment. Invisalign is one of the world’s leading orthodontic treatments and it has become extremely popular, as more and more people look for a discreet alternative to fixed braces. Clearstep is similar and both treatments use a series of bespoke aligners, which are worn for 2 weeks at a time in a set order until treatment is complete. Perfect Clear uses specially designed K positioners to reposition the teeth.

Say Hello To A Straighter Smile With Clearstep Braces In Liverpool

Wednesday, June 11th, 2014

Have you ever dreamed of a perfectly straight smile? Well, now your dreams can come true, thanks to our amazing orthodontic treatments! If you’re searching for a discreet, comfortable treatment that works quickly and promises incredible results, allow us to introduce you to ClearStep.

What is ClearStep?

ClearStep is an aligner system that’s capable of correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. It uses a series of custom-made aligners, also known as positioners, to guide the teeth and gently move them into the correct spot for a truly beautiful smile.

ClearStep aligners are removable and they are made from clear plastic, so you can hardly notice them. This not only means that you don’t have to deal with comments or judgements from others, but you can smile with confidence during the entire treatment process.

Who can benefit from Clearstep?

Clearstep is suitable for a wide range of patients with minor and moderate orthodontic issues and is an excellent option for those who are wary of visible braces and would prefer a removable appliance to a fixed brace. We do not recommend this treatment for patients under the age of 14, but otherwise it is a good match for most patients.

How does Clearstep work?

ClearStep works by using a series of aligners to move and straighten the teeth. Each one of the aligners is slightly different and the changing shape accommodates tooth movement. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then swapped for the next in line until treatment is complete. It is important that the aligners are worn in the correct order and that they are in place for at least 21 hours per day. The aligners are designed to be taken out when you brush your teeth and when you are eating, which makes it much easier to enjoy your food and keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.

We Offer Discreet Treatment With Invisalign Braces In The Heart Of Liverpool

Tuesday, May 13th, 2014

Invisalign offers patients in Liverpool the opportunity to get a beautiful smile without putting up with visible, unsightly braces. Rather than sporting a fixed metal brace, Invisalign patients wear a series of clear aligners, which are virtually invisible to other people. This is a modern, discreet alternative to fixed braces, which is a great option for those who are wary of having treatment due to the impact braces could have on their looks.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign utilises a series of specially designed removable orthodontic appliances, known as aligners. Each aligner is custom-made in line with the patient’s individual treatment plan and treatment involves wearing each appliance for 2 weeks. The aligners are removable and they should be taken out when you are eating and when you clean your teeth.
Invisalign aligners generate forces, which move the teeth. The forces are gentle and there are no metal parts or elastic bands.

How could Invisalign benefit me?

The reason most people go for Invisalign is the fact that the aligners are virtually invisible and this means you can go through treatment without worrying about your looks or dealing with the stigma attached to wearing braces. Invisalign aligners are also removable, which gives you more control of your treatment and affords you more freedom; you can also brush your teeth in the normal way and there is a lower risk of oral disease, as food is not able to get stuck in the aligner.
If you would like to see if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment and find out more about the benefits of clear braces, call us today to book your consultation!

Why Should I Choose Damon Braces In Liverpool?

Saturday, May 3rd, 2014

Damon Braces is an amazing, modern orthodontic system, which provides an alternative to traditional fixed braces for patients with moderate or complex orthodontic issues. These braces use state of the art technology and discreet materials to provide fast, painless treatment.

About Damon Braces

Damon Braces are very advanced fixed braces, which utilise the latest technology to reduce treatment time and enhance patient comfort. The braces are light and the brackets use a sliding mechanism to move the teeth rapidly. The wires are also self-ligating, which helps to reduce friction and accelerate the movement of the teeth. Damon Braces do not have any metal or elastic bands, which can irritate the gums, and they usually produce results around 4-6 months quicker than conventional fixed braces.

Damon Braces are suitable for most patients, including those who need intensive treatment and a lot of tooth movement. They are more discreet than normal fixed braces because they are made from ceramics and matched to the colour of the teeth.

These braces are also easy to clean and maintain and there is a lower risk of oral health problems because there are no bands and ties, which tend to become breeding grounds for bacteria.

Are Damon Braces better than invisible aligners?

Damon Braces are much more discreet than traditional fixed braces, but they are not invisible, like clear aligners. However, they do offer many benefits and are an excellent solution for patients who have more complex needs. Some issues, such as severe underbite or overbite, cannot be corrected with aligners. Fixed braces provide greater support for the teeth and they are also guaranteed to work without being dependent on the patient. With removable aligners, the patient has control over the success of treatment and results cannot be guaranteed if the patient fails to follow instructions.

How to avoid damaging your braces

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

When you have your braces fitted for the first time or after a number of clinical appointments when the wires on your orthodontic braces have been tightened, it is common for your teeth and gums to become tender which can make eating certain foods tricky

We recommend that our cosmetic patients try and stay clear of certain foods which are likely to damage your braces, hard crusts on bread or pizza, crunchy raw carrots, apples and foods that are likely to stick to your teeth and brackets such as toffees.

Here at the Liverpool Dental Spa we don’t want our cosmetic patients to see this as a negative thing and challenge you to come up with a range of delicious and nutritious brace friendly recipes and share your ideas with us via our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/liverpooldental and see what other ideas our patients have come up with.
