Alternatives to metal braces for adult orthodontic treatment

The thought of metal braces isn’t particularly attractive to adults who want straighter teeth. That’s why, at Liverpool Smile Studio, we are pleased to offer a number of more discreet methods of teeth straightening. This may involve the use of a fixed appliance – a brace – or a removable one – an aligner.

Whether they missed out on orthodontics during their youth, or had treatment only to fall at the retention stage and see their teeth move back out of position, the value of a beautifully-aligned smile is being realised up and down the country.

At our Liverpool dental practice we offer a number of teeth straightening solutions, delivered by our in-house orthodontist. The ideal treatment for you will depend on your clinical situation – the type and amount of correction that is required – along with your personal preferences for treatment.

We will always try to provide treatment that fits around your lifestyle at Liverpool Smile Studio. Many adult orthodontics treatments have minimal impact on your daily life.

Liverpool braces and aligners

During your initial orthodontic consultation at our Liverpool dental practice, your orthodontist will carry out a detailed clinical assessment, and will talk you through the pros and cons of all relevant treatments so that you can make an educated choice.

Some of the orthodontic options at our Liverpool dental centre include:

Six Month Smiles

This system of cosmetic braces works in as little as six months by focussing on the front six teeth – those that show when you smile. With tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets, these braces blend in with the natural colour of your teeth.

Invisalign

This system of clear, removable aligners are good for dental hygiene because no special cleaning techniques are required. They can be used to treat both simple and complex complaints.
