Fixed Brace Options in Brandy Wharf

Metal braces remain the most prescribed appliance worldwide. Stainless-steel brackets are progressively tightened at each visit, making them the most cost-effective route for both simple and complex cases.

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 (such as Damon or In-Ovation) use a slide or clip instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and sometimes the number of adjustment visits. Both metal and ceramic versions are available in Brandy Wharf.
