Types of braces

There is a wide range of braces available, and our orthodontist Liverpool can help you decide which is best for you. The more traditional braces are metal braces, which use brackets and wires to straighten teeth. For people who are looking for a more discreet option, ceramic braces are a great choice. These braces are made from tooth-coloured materials, so they are less visible than metal braces. Another option is Invisalign, which uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move teeth into the correct position. Invisalign is a popular choice among adults because it is virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing teeth.

Clear aligners

Clear aligners are a popular choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth without metal showing on them. These clear plastic aligners are virtually invisible, so they won’t show when you smile. They can be removed for mealtimes and dental hygiene routines, so they are very convenient. We can help you get the smile you are hoping for with clear aligners if you have a mild to moderate condition of dental misalignment which is easily treatable.

Removable appliances

Removable appliances cover a wide range of orthodontic treatments that can be used to move teeth. They do not require a specialist to fit them and many niche applications like arch widening fall into this category. 

Inman aligners

An Inman aligner is a type of clear aligner that is used to straighten teeth with more complex misalignments. It is made from clear plastic, so it isn’t noticeable when you smile. Inman aligners can be removed for eating and brushing teeth, so they are very easy to fit in around your lifestyle as an adult or teenager.

Managing the cost of orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment can be expensive, but there are a few ways to manage the cost. One way is to use insurance, which can help cover the cost of treatment. Another way to pay for orthodontic treatment is to use a flexible spending account (FSA). This is an account that allows you to set aside money from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. The money in your FSA can be used to pay for orthodontic treatment, and you will not have to pay taxes on it. You can also use a health savings account (HSA) to pay for orthodontic treatment. This is an account that is used to save money for medical expenses.

In our clinic, we offer interest-free credit plans which can help you spread the cost of treatment over a period of time. This can make treatment more affordable for you.
