All orthodontists are fully trained dentists, but only a small number of dentists choose to become an orthodontist in Liverpool. Dentists will typically will perform a variety of procedures in practice and that can include some orthodontics, like our dentists do here at Liverpool Smile Studio.We do not have an orthodontist in Liverpool here at Liverpool Smile Studio because we believe our patients will benefit from the experience our dentists have who have a keen interest in orthodontics.
How does a dentist become an orthodontist in Liverpool?
After graduating, many dental students will go directly into general dentistry where they can provide a wide range of dental services. A small number of dental students decide on a specialty, such as orthodontics. The knowledge required to become a registered orthodontist will require an additional two or three years of training.
An orthodontist will often request that a general dentist help patients with cavities, tooth cleaning or other general dentistry, meaning your dentist at Liverpool Smile Studio can not only give you a beautiful smile with the help of our many orthodontic choices, but also will keep the health of the mouth in the best shape possible in the process.
What Liverpool Smile Studio can offer you
We have found that fixed braces are often a popular choice for many of our patients, both children and adults alike. They utilise small square brackets that are attached directly onto the teeth. Wires are then tied to these brackets, helping teeth move into the correct position. They are a quick and efficient way of straightening your teeth.
If you require a subtler approach to straightening your teeth, then clear aligners may be just what you are looking for. As well as a subtle approach to teeth straightening they are also very quick.They can work in just six months and the results are long lasting.
We can also offer many patients the option of removable appliances. We normally suggest this option to our patientswho only suffer with minor dental problems,as theyare only suitable to carry out limited tooth movements.
If any of these sound like the choice for your teeth straightening needs, give our dedicated dental team a call today.
