There was a time many decades ago when the choice of dental appliances to treat misaligned teeth was very limited. Braces Liverpool can now offer a variety of dental correction appliances that are more targeted to a particular condition.
At Liverpool Smile Studio, it is our practice to conduct a thorough examination of your oral cavity using the latest technology available to us. We will then assess your dental misalignment condition and discuss with you the available options. We will recommend which dental braces Liverpool we think are well suited to treat your condition the most efficiently. Furthermore, we encourage you to ask our team as many questions as you like to ensure that you are sufficiently informed to make a proper decision.
Dental appliance advances
It is not just the dental appliance that has seen amazing development, but the technology that supports it that allows for quicker and more efficient treatment has also improved over the years. The types of appliances range from the traditional metal dental braces Liverpool, which are unrecognisable today from the original braces that children wore many years ago, to virtually invisible braces.
Lingual braces, for example, can be fixed behind your teeth, allowing them to work their magic out of sight. The visibility of clear and tooth-cloured braces is also greatly reduced. Those braces that use wires and blocks have been improved by using heat-activated wires, reducing the number of dental checkups required for adjustments. These braces can be adjusted by the patient themselves; simply drink a warm drink, and this will automatically activate the wires, which will perform the necessary adjustments. All these developments have reduced the treatment time of braces, made them more comfortable to wear and improved their efficiency.
Computer technology improves the treatment planning
Treatment planning is a vital part of dental misalignment treatment, and the latest software developments have also brought about a more efficient system. We can now digitally record all your dental records, including scan and x-ray results, which can be uploaded into a diagnostic program to produce a dental realignment plan. In many cases, we can even produce a virtual image of what the treatment result will be even before we start treatment.
Less invasive dentistry
All of these technological and dental science advances have not only improved the efficiency and speed of treatment but also allowed us to straighten teeth using less invasive procedures.
Practical over cosmetic
At Liverpool Smile Studio, our first concern is that your teeth must perform their essential practical tasks well. Your teeth must meet correctly so that you can chew your food properly, thereby reducing the strain on your stomach. Our dental team understands the importance of the cosmetic aspect of your teeth and gums. Using our expertise and knowledge, we will make every effort to ensure that we achieve the correct balance between the practical and the cosmetic results suited to you. Our ambition is to see you leave our surgery after treatment with a satisfied and confident smile!
