An attractive smile and enhanced self-esteem are the obvious benefits of teeth straightening treatment. Diagnosing and preventing oral health problems is just as important. If left untreated, teeth straightening issues can lead to gum disease or bone loss, tooth decay, chewing and digestive problems as well as tooth loss and other dental complications.
At Liverpool Smile Studio, we specialise in teeth straightening for children, teenagers, and adults and offer a variety of traditional and advanced orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign aligners and Six Month Smiles braces. Our orthodontist in Liverpool is passionate about helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts for years to come.
When should a child visit an orthodontist?
Most orthodontists agree that the best time to bring a child for an examination is around the age of seven. This age is when the adult molars erupt, allowing our orthodontist in Liverpool to have a better image of the relationship between the back and the front teeth.
This is generally the earliest possible time that we can have a full picture of your child’s oral health and determine if they have any orthodontic problems, such as an open bite, overbite, or crowded teeth.
The earliest time to diagnose these problems is also the best time to treat them. This is because orthodontic issues are much easier to correct and almost no extractions are required.
Not just for children
While many people tend to associated braces and orthodontics with children and teenagers, the truth is that orthodontic treatment is as much for adults as well. In fact, in recent years more and more patients are visiting our orthodontist in Liverpool in order to undergo orthodontic treatment. With the invention and popularisation of many discreet adult orthodontic treatments, such as ceramic braces and Invisalign, adults have realised that they too can gain all of the benefits of straighter teeth while maintaining a beautiful smile. Moreover, straight teeth are also easier to clean, which will make your oral hygiene routine much more effective in the long run.
