Three Reasons You Should Consider Fixed Braces at Liverpool Dental Spa

Monday, December 4th, 2017

Do you wish you had a beautiful, straight smile? If you’ve got crowded or crooked teeth and you’re looking for a solution, we have some excellent treatment methods on offer. If you’re desperate for brilliant results guaranteed, we recommend fixed braces. Here are just 3 of the reasons why fixed braces may be an ideal option for you:

  1. Amazing results: with fixed braces, the treatment process is very straightforward and you don’t have to worry about remembering to put your brace back in or hitting daily targets for wearing your brace. Once your fixed brace is in place, it does all the hard work for you. There’s no risk of getting to the end of treatment and being disappointed because you haven’t been wearing your brace for the required time each day. You’re guaranteed a gorgeous smile!
  2. Discretion: in days gone by, fixed braces were seen as ugly and bulky, but today, it’s a very different story. Modern fixed braces are much sleeker, finer and more delicate than previous generations, and they are often made from tooth-coloured parts to maximise discretion. We can even fit lingual braces, which are fixed braces that are attached to the back of the teeth, if you’re keen on undergoing treatment in secret.
  3. Confidence: orthodontic treatment doesn’t just change the look of our smile, it also makes you feel a lot more confident about your appearance. If your smile has been holding you back, fixed braces can help to give your self-esteem a boost.

If you’re thinking about getting braces, why not call and book a consultation today?

Which route to Straight Teeth is Right for You?

Wednesday, May 31st, 2017

At Liverpool Dental Spa, we recognise the importance of giving our patients a choice and we are delighted to offer a vast array of orthodontic solutions. Whether you have minor misalignment or you need complex treatment, we have the perfect treatment options for you.

Our treatments

We offer a range of treatments, including removable braces, invisible braces, fixed braces and lingual braces.

Removable braces

Our removable braces include Invisalign, ClearStep, Perfect Clear and the Inman Aligner. ClearStep, Invisalign and Perfect Clear operate in a similar way, with patients wearing a series of customised clear aligners, which gently guide the teeth into position. The aligners are virtually invisible, so this could be a good choice if you’re looking for an invisible brace and you have minor orthodontic issues. The Inman Aligner is slightly different. The treatment process involves using a single device, rather than a series of appliances, and the aligner isn’t invisible. That said, it is a lot more discreet than most other braces out there. This is an ideal solution for anyone who needs results fast, as it takes just 16 weeks to correct minor misalignment.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces have come a very long way in a relatively short space of time, and if you thought you had to wear painful, bulky metal braces for months on end to get a gorgeous smile, you’ll be shocked to see the new braces on the block. With treatments like Six Month Smiles and CFast, we can straighten the teeth quickly and discreetly. We are also proud to offer Damon Braces. These advanced braces use the latest friction-free technology to move the teeth painlessly, and they are capable of treating patients with the most complex prescriptions. The braces are finer and more discreet than conventional fixed braces and treatment times are around 4-6 months shorter.

Lingual braces

Lingual braces may be an option worth considering if you’re desperate to have braces without anyone else knowing that you’re having treatment. Unlike standard fixed braces, these braces are fixed to the back of your teeth, which means that nobody will be able to see them when you smile. We offer a system called MTM No Trace Brace, which is a fast-acting, invisible solution for patients who have issues that affect the front teeth. The average treatment time is just 12-24 weeks.

Straightening Smiles with Damon Braces

Wednesday, May 6th, 2015

If you’re looking for an advanced tooth straightening treatment that offers benefits galore, look no further than Damon Braces. Damon Braces are fixed braces that use the latest technology to create outstanding results for patients with moderate and complex dental needs.

About Damon Braces

The Damon system is one of the best orthodontic treatments on the market at the moment. It uses advanced technology, state of the art design and innovative features to provide patients with really impressive results, as well as a simple treatment process, reduced treatment times and enhanced comfort.

Damon Braces are made from composite brackets enforced with ceramic that match the natural tooth shade, and sliding, easy to clean brackets. The braces use self-ligating forces to move the teeth quickly and there are no painful bands or ties causing friction and discomfort.

Damon Braces are often recommended for patients who need a lot of movement as an alternative to traditional fixed braces. They are comfortable and discreet and they also work around four to six months faster than conventional braces.

Are Damon Braces for me?

If you have orthodontic issues that affect your bite  or you suffer with severe crowding, other treatments such as aligners might not be suitable because they cannot achieve enough movement and don’t provide sufficient support for the teeth. Damon Braces are suitable for almost all orthodontic patients and they are reliable and effective, while also offering an array of benefits for the patient.

If you like the sound of Damon Braces, why not call and arrange a consultation? Following an examination and some basic tests, our dentists will be able to discuss whether or not this is a good treatment choice for you. If there are other suitable options, we can also go through these with you and then help you to make a decision about which kind of treatment to go for.

Introducing Clearstep Clear Aligners To Patients In Liverpool

Friday, April 11th, 2014

If you’re looking for a brace, which straightens the teeth without impacting upon the look of your smile, allow us to introduce you to Clearstep.

What is Clearstep?

Clearstep is a clear brace system, which uses removable aligners to gently move and reposition the teeth. Clearstep is a discreet alternative to fixed braces, which enables you to enjoy an amazing new smile without worrying about how your smile looks or what other people think about your braces when you have treatment.

Clearstep offers many advantages because the aligners are light and they use gentle forces, which helps to reduce discomfort. Once you get used to wearing the aligners and remembering to swap them every fortnight, the treatment process is very simple and the results are great!

The Clearstep process

Clearstep treatment involves wearing a series of aligners, rather than a single appliance. Each aligner is worn for around 2 weeks and the series continues until treatment is complete; all the aligners are different and the aim is to guide the teeth into the correct position. Clearstep aligners are taken out to eat and clean the teeth.

Who is the best candidate for Clearstep treatment?

Clearstep is ideal for patients with moderate or minor orthodontic issues who are looking for a more discreet solution than fixed braces. Removable braces are a popular choice because they give your more flexibility and make tasks, such as eating and brushing your teeth, easy. If you have complex issues, which need a lot of movement, this may not be the best option, but our dentists will be happy to go through other treatments with you. We do not generally recommend Clearstep for patients under the age of 14 years old.
