What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a division of dentistry that deals with improper positioning of your teeth. Some of our patients have had an over bite, under bite, overcrowding of teeth, crooked teeth or a jaw misalignment and Liverpool Smile Studio dentists have been able to help.

In these cases, orthodontic treatments have helped to slowly change the positioning of the teeth to be straighter and more aligned. Orthodontics can also be used for cosmetic purposes if the person wishes to have a better smile. We believe people don’t always need to pay more for the specialist services of an orthodontist in Liverpool and our experienced dentists have a keen interest in orthodontics have helped hundreds of patients with teeth alignment issues at Liverpool Smile Studio.

Orthodontics in LiverpoolWhat are the benefits?

Orthodontic treatment is important because misaligned teeth or improper positioning can lead to a higher risk of tooth decay and gingivitis. An improper bite can make teeth harder to brush or more painful to floss, which leads to poor oral hygiene in those regions, which can affect your overall oral health.

Orthodontics is an effective treatment method that can be used to close gaps between teeth, ensure that your teeth and jaw are properly aligned, straighten crooked teeth and improve oral function.

How do I know if I need an orthodontic treatment plan?

Our dentists can tell you if you require orthodontic work by looking at your dental history, taking a plaster model of your teeth and by taking x-rays. If we recommend orthodontic work, we may not recommend you to an orthodontist in Liverpool, but to one of our experienced dentists who have years of experience in teeth straightening and hundreds of happy patients.

Examples of orthodontic tools are braces, aligners, retainers, or Invisalign. These tools require care and maintenance to produce proper results. Your dentist at Liverpool Smile Studio will provide you with specific instructions for you to get the best results possible.
