Perfect Clear Braces in Liverpool for Discreet Orthodontic Treatment

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

Problems such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth or teeth that stick out are not at all uncommon, but they can still cause lack of confidence. However, the solution to such problems, wearing orthodontic braces, can seem just as embarrassing to some people as the original concern. Help is at hand though at Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Spa in Liverpool with the innovative new Perfect Clear braces, for discreet orthodontic treatment.

What is Perfect Clear?

The Perfect Clear system involves the use of custom-made ‘invisible’ aligners that fit over the teeth. After having taken impressions of your teeth, aligners will be made to fit your specific tooth and mouth shape, to help to encourage your teeth into the correct position using unique K positioners. The aligner looks like a clear plastic mould which sits on top of the teeth, and as your teeth gradually change position, you will be given different aligners to help continue treatment.

Why is Perfect Clear preferable to other treatments?

The Perfect Clear braces are, as the name suggests, clear, and so cannot be seen unless you look very closely. This means that it is possible to correct cosmetic or orthodontic issues with teeth without the need for obvious, traditional ‘train-track’ braces or cumbersome retainers. The Perfect Clear system is thus perfect for people who are already self-conscious about their teeth, and may feel that wearing a brace would cause further embarrassment. In addition, the Perfect Clear braces are removable, meaning that there is far less possibility of bad oral health than with other types of brace, as they are very easy to clean: simply remove the aligners and rinse them to ensure that food particles do not build up in them. They can also be removed for eating, to make this even easier. Perfect Clear braces will allow you to have better oral health, improved bite function and better jaw alignment, without the need for any obviously visible orthodontic treatment.

 

ClearStep the Clear Brace System Taking the City of Liverpool by Storm

Friday, June 8th, 2012

The ClearStep system is an invisible brace designed to help you achieve your perfect smile by straightening your teeth whilst also addressing other issues such as gapped, crooked or overlapping teeth.

What are the advantages of ClearStep?

ClearStep braces have many advantages that make it stand out as the clear choice when choosing an invisible brace. These include:

  • They are undetectable as they are made from clear plastic thus making them almost invisible and pretty hard to detect even on closer inspection.
  • They can be worn by people of all ages from children to the elderly.
  • They are removable and therefore they can be taken out for a variety of different reasons such as brushing your teeth, eating, drinking or even attending an important event.
  • Finally they are effective as they can treat a number of issues from tooth crowding to bite problems without the need for brackets and wires.

What does ClearStep treatment involve?

The ClearStep system process is carried out over four stages. During the first stage you will undergo an initial consultation to decide whether the system is right for you. During stage two you will have x-rays, photographs and impressions taken of your smile, to provide the dentist with a more detailed analysis of your teeth. On the third stage, if all is well and you are happy to proceed with the treatment your ClearStep brace will be created especially for you. The final stage will require you to attend a number of check-ups and assessments with your dentist.

You will wear your aligners in a certain sequence for about two weeks per stage to help gradually move your teeth to the desired position. Treatment tends to take 9-18 months.

Patients throughout the City of Liverpool and the UK can experience invisible tooth movement using ClearStep clear aligners, which we provide at Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Spa.

 

Adult Patients in Liverpool Looking for Invisible Tooth Straightening Should Look No Further Than Invisalign

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

Braces have greatly advanced in recent years and patients are now able to receive orthodontic treatment without the need for fixed and visible metal braces.

At the Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa we provide patients from Liverpool with a range of invisible aligners, which includes the amazing Invisalign treatment.

What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign treatment involves the patient gradually straightening their teeth using a series of clear aligners that remain unnoticed in the mouth. These aligners are changed every 2 weeks to a new aligner, which is shaped differently to the previously aligner. This change in shape between each aligner gently and effectively moves the teeth into place.

Your aligners are created using a personal mould of your mouth, which is sent off to the Invisalign laboratories where your specific Invisalign aligners will be made.

Who is suitable for Invisalign?

Most orthodontic conditions can be treated using invisalign braces, including:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Overbitten teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Twisted teeth

However, if you suffer with a complex orthodontic condition you may be best seeking treatment with fixed braces, which are able to achieve a higher level of tooth movement.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

There are numerous benefits to Invisalign aligners, which includes:

  • They are comprised of clear plastic, so no one will know that you are having orthodontic treatment.
  • They are removable, meaning you can eat comfortably and they are easier to clean.
  • You don’t need to have any dental appliances cemented to the front of your teeth.

If you are interested in Invisalign clear braces please feel free to ring the practice today. We can thoroughly assess your orthodontic condition and find the best brace system for you.

 

ClearStep is the Clear Choice for Patients in Liverpool Looking for Invisible Braces

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Noticeable metal braces are often associated with teenage orthodontics, but unfortunately, crooked teeth do not always discriminate on age and a more discreet alternative to ‘train tracks’ may be preferable to people past their teenage years. For those people ClearStep may be their best option, to straighten their teeth without anyone else realising they are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

ClearStep are virtually unnoticeable clear braces, which can help you achieve a naturally straight smile while remaining completely unnoticed. As well as the obvious cosmetic benefit, ClearStep can also provide a more comfortable experience than metal braces, which can inflame and irritate the gums, as well as a more convenient one, as you can take them off when you eat, meaning no food will become trapped.  The ability to remove ClearStep also helps maintain excellent oral hygiene during treatment, something that can be neglected with metal braces, often leading to future dental health problems.

Your ClearStep treatment starts with a consultation, to ascertain whether the ClearStep treatment is suitable for you. The majority of orthodontic issues can be treated using ClearStep, however, if the treatment isn’t for you we will find another solution to your problem.

If you are deemed suitable a mould of your mouth will then be taken, as will several photographs, which will then be turned into a 3D model of your mouth. Your personal clear aligners will be produced based on this model, which you will then pick up from the practice. These aligners are then changed every two weeks in order to gradually move your teeth into a straight and beautiful smile.

ClearStep braces have revolutionised the way adults straighten their teeth and eliminate all need for thick noticeable wires and uncomfortable brackets.
