The benefits of braces for adult patients

You can enjoy the benefits of dental braces at any age. That’s what we believe at Liverpool Smile Studio, which is why we are proud to offer a number of discreet fixed and removable appliances to straighten adults’ teeth subtly and quickly.

cosmetic-bracesEven so-called “cosmetic” braces have health benefits, because they reduce the hard-to-clean areas where dental plaque can build up, helping to prevent gum disease and tooth decay (with regular visits to your dentist and hygienist, of course).

When you come into our Liverpool dental practice for a teeth straightening consultation, your cosmetic orthodontist will carry out a thorough clinical examination to determine the best appliance for your needs. Depending on what those needs are, you may be recommended fixed braces or removable aligners.

Liverpool braces and aligners: your choices

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that concentrate on the front six teeth in the upper or lower jaw. It is these teeth that the majority of adult patients at our Liverpool dental practice are concerned about, because these are the teeth in your smile line. Six Month Smiles are comprised of clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured nickel titanium wires, which makes them very discreet.

Invisalign

A popular alternative to fixed braces at our Liverpool dental practice, treatment with Invisalign involves the use of a series of clear, removable aligners to guide your teeth gently into a better position. You change your aligner fortnightly, and take them out for eating, drinking, and cleaning.

Inman Aligner

The fastest-acting appliance at our Liverpool dental centre, the Inman Aligner uses special gentle forces to rapidly correct issues with the front teeth, such as protrusion or crowding. As with Invisalign you can take the Inman Aligner out at home, making it easy to maintain dental hygiene during treatment.
