Orthodontics What is Orthodontics?


Put simply, orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses specifically on the alignment of teeth. Orthodontics is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of dental irregularities such as crooked, crowded and protruding teeth, along with poor jaw alignment.

At The Liverpool Brace Place we know that having crooked, misaligned or protruding teeth can cause you to lose confidence in your smile. Embarrassment about the look of your teeth can affect your overall self-confidence and how you interact with people.

Problems with your bite and the alignment of your teeth can also affect how you bite and chew food, impacting on your general health as you may find your diet restricted. Furthermore, crowded and misaligned teeth can be difficult to clean properly, potentially leading to a build-up of plaque, decay and other dental health problems. But it doesn't have to be this way. As orthodontic specialists, we provide a range of treatments that can help improve your smile.

Orthodontics uses devices known as braces, comprising wires and brackets that apply gentle pressure to teeth over a period of time to move them into a particular position. Many people will picture metal wires and brackets that need to be worn for a long period of time, but orthodontics has advanced greatly in recent years, and modern orthodontic treatment is much quicker and more comfortable than it was in the past. Depending on the type and amount of correction needed, there are several discreet brace solutions available.

We treat both adults and children in need of orthodontic help. NHS treatment is available to children under the age of 18, for which children must be referred by their dentist. There is a waiting list for NHS orthodontic treatment. Some parents prefer their children to have private treatment, which can be paid for monthly with interest-free credit, and is suitable for children whose problem is too minor to be treated on the NHS, and those who would prefer invisible braces.

When you visit us for orthodontic treatment, you can rest assured you are in safe and capable hands. You will be treated by a caring and approachable team of skilled professionals, and will be given a thorough orthodontic assessment. Any proposed treatment will be explained to you in full and you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have before you start your treatment. Back to Orthodontics
