Straightening out your oral health
At Liverpool Smile Studio we want all of our patients to know that we’re behind them 100% and that – while a lot may have changed over the past year – our commitment and dedication to creating beautiful smiles is something that’s remained consistent throughout.
We know that getting regular dental care and treatments such as braces Liverpool has been difficult, as national lockdown measures and uncertainty have made things harder than ever before.
Now, however, we are delighted to report that our practice has fully reopened and our dedicated professionals are now providing anyone who needs them with braces and other forms of discreet orthodontics.
Why seek our braces Liverpool?
If the lockdown has taught us anything, it is the value of self-care and self-preservation – and a huge part of that, we feel, starts with taking care of your teeth.
Having crooked and out-of-place teeth can not only cause a lot of social problems which can have a worsening detrimental effect on your mental health and confidence over time, but can also lead to several dental health problems.
As those with crooked teeth have more uneven spaces and gaps between their teeth, there is a far higher likelihood of plaque and food particles becoming lodged within these spaces.
If this plaque isn’t removed when brushing – which is highly likely given their tough to reach nature – then it can develop into decay, abscesses, or spread to their gums and cause gingivitis or periodontal disease.
This is the second most common cause of tooth loss in all adults across the UK (after trauma-related injury) and is entirely preventable should the correct measures be taken, such as seeking out braces Liverpool from us here at Liverpool Smile Studio.
What type of braces can I get?
At Liverpool Smile Studio we are happy to report that we offer our patients a broad range of orthodontic treatments which range from the traditional and conventional to more discreet, cosmetic solutions.
Fixed braces, which are the most widely recognised type of braces we offer, act by attaching brackets to each individual tooth, and connecting them with a metallic tension wire. Over time, this wire pulls each tooth together until they eventually are fully aligned.
Alongside traditional fixed braces, we also provide more discreet options here at Liverpool Smile Studio, such as Invisalign.
What’s Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary alternative form of orthodontics that has developed a massive following over the past few years – particularly amongst our younger patients.
Rather than fixing brackets and wires to your teeth, the Invisalign method aims to straighten your smile, without leaving an impact on how you look during the process.
The Invisalign process achieves dental alignment through transparent dental retainers – each of which is custom built for every patient.
Within the construction of every unique retainer our orthodontist places pressure points and grooves which aim to apply force to the teeth which have been identified as crooked and gradually move them closer together.
As nothing is ever bonded to your teeth, and you have the option to remove your transparent, discreet, retainer at any time throughout the entire process, Invisalign is found to be one of the most comfortable and relaxed ways of achieving a straighter, healthier smile.
