We Offer The Ultimate In Invisible Braces Treatment In The Very Heart Of Liverpool

Monday, March 10th, 2014

Are you searching for an invisible brace treatment? Do you long for a perfect smile but dread the prospect of wearing a brace? If so, we may just have the perfect solution: the MTM No Trace brace.

What is MTM No Trace?

MTM No Trace is a fixed brace treatment, which provides solutions for the hundreds of patients who want a straight smile without the hassle of wearing a visible orthodontic appliance. MTM No Trace works in a similar way to a traditional fixed brace, but it is placed on the back of the teeth, rather than the front. This means that the brace is completely invisible when you smile and talk.

We understand that getting braces can be a daunting prospect, especially if you are conscious of your image; with these braces, your appearance will not change when you have your braces fitted and you can feel confident throughout the duration of your treatment.

Who can benefit from MTM No Trace?

This innovative system is ideal for patients who require limited tooth movement; it is not suitable for patients who have complex orthodontic needs. These braces are designed to correct mild issues and are an ideal choice for those who are seeking to make minor improvements without having to worry about their image. This is a popular choice for those who want their smile to look beautiful for a special occasion, such as a wedding, as it works very quickly and has minimum impact on day to day life.

Benefits of MTM No Trace treatment

In addition to the fact that the braces are invisible, MTM No Trace also offers comfort, convenience and speed. Treatment time is usually between 12 and 24 weeks and the braces are light and comfortable. The process is also very simple; all you have to do one your braces are fitted is visit us for follow-up sessions and keep your braces clean.

 

The Benefits Of Modern Fixed Braces In The City Of Liverpool

Thursday, January 16th, 2014

Fixed braces have gained a negative, and much undue, reputation: Rather than conjuring images of versatility and reliability, fixed braces are, for some reason, associated with 80’s teen-comedy outcasts, much like the pun is associated with bad-uncle jokes. Punning was good enough for Shakespeare, James Joyce and Jesus and, if we are to take this comparison to its natural conclusion, fixed braces are equally appropriate for the most sophisticated pundit. Allow me to argue my case.

Firstly, what is a fixed brace?

A fixed brace is a brace which, during treatment, is not removed and they are available in a myriad of shapes, colours and constructs! All fixed braces consist of tiny buttons, referred to as brackets, which are fixed to your teeth. Metallic rings, known as bands, can also be fastened to your back teeth. A thin wire, called ‘archwire’, is then used to keep all this together along with the help of some tiny elastic bands, called modules, or some minute wires, known as ligatures.

That’s nice and all, but why opt for them?

Well, research indicates they are more effective: A recent study implied that patients who received fixed brace treatment where happier with the outcome of their smile than those who used alternatives. Importantly, they also take some crushing responsibility away from their wearer: Removable aligners, the main competitor with fixed braces, can be taken out for eating food, cleaning them or for brief social occasions. If you forget to put them back in, however, you can set your treatment back by a substantial amount and incur greater costs. With fixed braces, you never run this risk as they can’t be taken out!

Low-friction variants

The friction of fixed braces is a common, albeit minor, complaint as it can cause some slight irritation. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we offer Damon and In-Ovation R braces which not only reduce the friction issue, but can also reduce treatment time.
