Why do adults choose braces?

Do you need braces in Liverpool? Most of our patients here at Liverpool Smile Studio who seek braces do so because they feel their smile is the most important feature of their facial appearance. They also wish to improve their smile to feel happier about their looks and enhance their self-esteem.

Others do so to improve their bite, chewing capacity, or to make it easier to maintain successful oral hygiene. Some of our patients choose to have treatment using braces in Liverpool as part of an overall comprehensive dental treatment plan in conjunction with other specialist procedures to improve both dental function and aesthetics.

Braces in LiverpoolMany people also never had braces in Liverpool when they were younger, when maybe they should have. This is because of many reasons, from things like their parents or dentists being oblivious to their dental problems, or they were not aware of the power of braces to correct bite problems. Now they have problems with their teeth and gums, or they are just unhappy with their smile and the irregularity of their teeth.

Some of our adult patients may have had braces they were young, but their teeth became irregular again because of circumstances surrounding their treatment, or more usually through lack of retainer wear. For many patients, the irregularity of their teeth is relatively mild and a short course of braces in Liverpool can often return their teeth to perfect alignment, giving them a much more confident smile.

But I don’t want to be a brace face

With modern braces, this is no longer a problem. First, conventional braces have become much smaller and less noticeable than they used to. You also tend to see more adults these days wearing braces and has now become quite acceptable to see adults showing off their braces.

We are happy to use aesthetic, tooth-coloured or invisible braces to help you feel more confident about wearing braces. You will achieve a great smile that you can always be proud of, but do so in the most pleasant way possible.

Are there any age limits?

In general, if your gums and jaw bone are healthy, there are no age limits to having braces in Liverpool.
