Fantastic Fast Acting Braces

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016

Many people are reluctant to have orthodontic treatment because they assume that it takes years; however, there have been major developments and advances in the world of orthodontics and we are delighted to offer patients an amazing fixed brace treatment, which straightens the teeth to create beautiful smiles in just six months!

About Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is an innovative, fast-acting fixed brace system, which produces fantastic results in a fraction of the time of most other fixed brace treatments. The key to this treatment is that it focuses on the teeth at the front of your mouth, known as the ‘social 6’; these are the teeth that can be seen when you smile.

Six Month Smiles is technically advanced treatment, which uses self-ligating wires to reduce discomfort and speed up tooth movement.

Who is the ideal candidate for Six Month Smiles treatment?

Six Month Smiles is designed for patients who have minor or moderate crowding, small gaps between the front teeth, mild issues with underbite or overbite or slightly crooked front teeth. It is not suitable for patients with complex needs or issues that affect the back teeth.

Six Month Smiles is a great choice for people who have time constraints. For example, if you have minor issues you want to address in time for a wedding or your graduation.

What are the benefits of Six Month Smiles

Aside from the obvious benefit of speedy treatment, Six Month Smiles also offers discretion, as the braces are made from tooth-coloured wires and transparent brackets, so they are much less visible than traditional fixed braces. These braces also use low-pressure forces to move the teeth, which reduces friction and makes treatment much more comfortable. As these braces work so quickly, they are an excellent option for patients who cannot wait to show off the results of their treatment.

The Groundbreaking Inman Aligner

Friday, September 2nd, 2016

At Liverpool Dental Spa, we’re always on the watch for ground-breaking treatments that will make a positive difference to our clients and the Inman Aligner is one of our most treasured treatments. This innovative removable orthodontic appliance produces outstanding results in a matter of weeks, providing patients who have minor orthodontic issues with a swift and hassle-free alternative to traditional braces. If you’re looking for a fast and simple solution to troublesome front teeth, this could be the perfect choice for you.

About the Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a discreet, removable brace designed to align the teeth with minimal stress. The aligner works by generating forces that push and pull the teeth, moving them into position and creating beautifully straight smiles. These forces are produced by two main parts, which can be found behind the front teeth (a coiled spring) and along the front of the teeth (a fine metal bar). The Inman Aligner doesn’t promise complete invisibility, but it is a much more discreet option than many other types of brace, as the only part you can see is the metal bar.

The main advantage of the Inman Aligner is the speed of treatment. As this aligner is designed for patients who only need minor correction and it uses the latest technology, treatment times are incredibly short and most cases are completed within 16 weeks. With this treatment, you can also enjoy greater freedom afforded by having a removable brace. You can take your aligner out to eat and drink and you can also continue to brush your teeth as normal. This appliance targets the front teeth and is a great choice for people who don’t need the intensive treatment provided by conventional fixed braces and for those who have already had treatment and started to experience relapse.

If you think the Inman Aligner sounds like a perfect match for you, why not give us a call and book a consultation? Our expert dentists will be able to tell you more about the treatment and assess your needs to see whether this could be a viable option for you.

The Many Benefits of Six Month Smiles

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

If you’re looking for an orthodontic treatment that offers an amazing range of benefits, look no further than Six Month Smiles, our revolutionary teeth straightening treatment that takes just six months to produce beautiful smiles.

All about Six Month Smiles

Most fixed brace treatments take at least a year to straighten the teeth, so this is a really impressive treatment. Six Month Smiles uses the latest technology, including self-ligating wires, to move the teeth rapidly and offers a fast and comfortable alternative to traditional fixed braces. Speed is important for many patients, as they want to show off their new smile as quickly as possible, so this is a great option for those looking for short treatment times.

Six Month Smiles works much faster than traditional braces for two main reasons. Firstly, the technology is extremely advanced and this means that the actual movement of the teeth is quicker. Secondly, the braces focus solely on the front teeth, as these are the teeth than can be seen when you speak and smile.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles

The best thing about Six Month Smiles is the speed of treatment, but there are so many other advantages. These braces are made from tooth-coloured components, making them very discreet and the self-ligating wires help to prevent discomfort. As treatment works so quickly, these braces provide an ideal solution for people who want to look their best and have a deadline, such as a wedding celebration, an important interview or a graduation ceremony in mind.

Could this be the treatment for me?

Six Month Smiles is a great option for patients who have mild or moderate issues with their front teeth and an excellent choice for those who would prefer a more discreet brace than traditional fixed braces. We will be able to ascertain whether this is a good option for you during your consultation. We will also be happy to discuss other treatment options with you.

What is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance that normally takes just 3-5 months to straighten the teeth. It is made up two major parts: are a coiled spring, which is located at the back of the front teeth, and a metal bar, which sits on the front of the teeth. The device works by generating forces that cause the teeth to move into the desired position. The forces are produced by the spring and the metal bar.

What is so impressive about the Inman Aligner?

The treatment is impressive for numerous reasons. The first major selling point is treatment time. Unlike most orthodontic treatments, which take at least 12 months, this system straightens the teeth in a matter of weeks and in most cases the whole procedure is complete within 3-5 months.

The system is also beneficial for patients because it uses the latest technology to move the teeth without any pain. The fact that it is removable also gives patients more flexibility and means that there are no problems with drinking, eating or cleaning the teeth.

How does the Inman Aligner work so fast?

I know what you’re thinking, there must be a catch! Thankfully, there are no catches and the Inman Aligner really is as good as it sounds. The appliance is able to work quickly because it focuses solely on the front teeth, as they are visible when you smile. This means that there is no time wasted correcting the alignment of the back teeth and results are visible almost immediately.

Who is the Inman Aligner for?

This is an ideal treatment for people who have minor or moderate orthodontic issues affecting their front teeth. It is also a great option for people who want the flexibility of a removable appliance and the benefit of extremely quick treatment.

How the Inman Aligner Differs from Invisible Braces

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016

The Inman Aligner is a revolutionary and simple utility that aligns the front teeth both quickly and safely. It can do this in as little as six to sixteen weeks. Though sometimes mistaken or confused with invisible braces, they differ in numerous ways. The Inman Aligner for example is used mainly on the front teeth, whereas invisible braces can be used to treat the full arches (all of your teeth).

Other differences

Another difference is that Invisible Braces are made up of a specialised plastic which can’t apply as much pressure compared to the Inman Aligner, and this is why treatments using invisible braces can take an extended period of time (up to six months) to reap any results. The Inman Aligner doesn’t suffer from this as it creates a lot more pressure on the teeth due to the nature of its tiny nickel-titanium springs. This causes a much higher amount of tension and in turn straightens the teeth in far less time than the invisible braces would take. Because of this, Inman Aligner treatment is much less expensive too.

More on the Inman Aligner

With the invisible braces and other orthodontic treatments, frequent visits to the dentist are unfortunately part of the course and this can get quite tedious. The Inman Aligner on the other hand is pre-programmed to reduce the amount of these visits,  allowing you to live your life a lot more freely, without a visit to the dentist around the corner of every passing week. This lease of life is also compounded by the fact that, in comparison to invisible braces, Inman Aligners are very easy to remove, taking just seconds. This allows the wearer to eat when and as they want, without having to worry about a lengthy preparation process. For more information on the Inman Aligner braces system please contact our team in Liverpool today.

Delightfully Discreet Braces!

Friday, February 12th, 2016

Although TV programmes like Ugly Betty may be a laugh, none of us want to wear braces that carry stigma because of how they make us look. Our first impressions matter, including our smiles.

At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer individuals choices in the latest modern braces systems, such as Invisalign. Those with mild orthodontic conditions may benefit from Invisalign teeth straightening technology.

Clear braces

Designed as an alternative to conventional metal braces, Invisalign improves the orthodontic experience for those desiring healthy, aligned teeth. Dental overcrowding, irregularly spaced teeth, skew or protruding teeth may be treated with Invisalign invisible braces.

Invisalign is a popular choice among Liverpool city dwellers and visitors because of its discretion. Made from clear plastic aligners, Invisalign braces are near invisible to the naked eye so that it is not obvious to others that teeth straightening treatment is in progress.

A healthier option, Invisalign aligners fit over the teeth like a transparent mouth guard and are replaced every two weeks as teeth gradually move back into their proper positions. The device is removable for oral hygiene practice, meals and activities. Comfortable to wear, Invisalign straightens teeth effectively within 12 to 18 months if worn for about 22 hours per day.

Get a straighter smile

Our dentist listens to your needs, assesses your oral health and recommends suitability for Invisalign teeth straightening treatment. Individuals are involved in their smile design with impressions and photos taken for custom-making of their own Invisalign invisible braces. Clincheck 3D technology allows individuals to see the before and end results of treatment.

Within the shortest time, Invisalign braces transform a person’s smile for improved appearance and confidence in self-image. Invisalign technology gently aligns teeth while preserving a person’s natural beauty and smile.
