Teeth Straightening with Braces in Beeston Hurst

Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Residents of Beeston Hurst have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Beeston Hurst

Metal braces are the benchmark treatment: small steel brackets, an archwire, and regular adjustments. They suit all case types and are the least expensive private option, as well as the NHS standard.

Ceramic braces are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.

Lingual braces sit on the inner surfaces of the teeth and are completely hidden when you smile or speak. Custom-milled per tooth, they handle a wide range of cases but are the most technically demanding and expensive.

Self-ligating braces replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Beeston Hurst offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
