Cosmetic orthodontics – facts and myths

A beautiful smile is a priority for many people because of peer pressure. With so many adults reaching out to cosmetics dentists and orthodontists in recent years, cosmetic orthodontics have become very popular.

At Liverpool Smile Studio, we know the struggle of crooked teeth and we want to help our patients achieve their best smile possible. Although we do not have a dedicated orthodontist in Liverpool, our experienced cosmetic dentists offer a number of customised cosmetic orthodontic solutions, including Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, and The Inman Aligner.

Orthodontist in LiverpoolDo I need an orthodontist in Liverpool to achieve straighter teeth?

The answer is no. If you have moderately misaligned teeth and bite problems, you can have cosmetic orthodontics provided by a cosmetic dentist in our practice instead of metal braces provided by an orthodontist and still be able to achieve a beautiful smile. Cosmetic orthodontics do not require the same amount of time, effort and adjustment that metal braces do and for this reason, they are a better option for many adult patients.

Am I too old for teeth straightening?

Contrary to popular belief, braces are not just for children and teenagers. There is no age limit for adults with healthy teeth and gums to straighten their teeth and undergo orthodontic treatment. Whatever their incentive, straight teeth have many benefits. Plus you can have the beautiful smile you have always envisaged without putting your life on hold anymore.

Braces are too time-consuming?

Truth is that traditional metal braces can take from several months to 2 years to work. However, adult orthodontics such as Six Month Smiles and The Inman Aligner offered by our cosmetic orthodontist in Liverpool deliver results much quicker.

But wait – isn’t orthodontic treatment painful?

Discreet orthodontics are by no means painful. Even if they feel uncomfortable in the beginning, once you get used to them, you will probably forget that you are wearing them. In general, the discomfort caused by these braces doesn’t go past the point where pain relief should be sought.
