If you have misaligned teeth, you may be putting off treatment because you think you will need the services of an orthodontist in Liverpool. An orthodontist n is a dentist who has spent several years training to be able to diagnose and treat misalignments of the jaws and teeth. Complex and severe misalignments certainly do need to be treated by an orthodontist in Liverpool, but milder misalignments are classed as cosmetic and can be treated with the various brands of cosmetic braces that have come onto the dental market in the past couple of decades.
Cosmetic braces are so-called because if you don’t have the work done, it’s not going to cause you pain or interfere with your ability to eat. You can go through your life without getting your teeth straightened, even if you don’t feel very good about your smile and don’t use it as often as you might be inclined to.
Here at Liverpool Smile Studio, we think you should smile a lot because smiling is good for you. It releases the feel-good chemical serotonin, and a great smile can smooth your path through life because people are hard-wired to respond to a genuine smile.
Dr Jeanine McGinty is our cosmetic orthodontist in Liverpool. She has received postgraduate training in the use of various dental devices designed to correct mild cosmetic misalignments. Using these can often be better value than using an orthodontist trained to deal with severe and complex issues.
The best way to find out if you can use a cosmetic orthodontist is to come in for a consultation, and these are free at Liverpool Smile Studio until July 2018.
