Treatment Options for Adults in Broughty Ferry
Clear aligners lead the field for adults in Broughty Ferry: near-invisible, taken out to eat, and undetectable in meetings. The catch is discipline — they only work if worn almost constantly.
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in while giving the continuous control of fixed treatment — a strong option for adults with moderate to complex cases who aren't ideal aligner candidates.
Lingual braces bond to the inner tooth surfaces for total invisibility from the front — the priciest route, popular with adults whose work is public-facing.
Metal fixed braces are the budget workhorse for demanding adult cases; since the NHS rarely funds adults, they're the cheapest fixed route privately in Broughty Ferry.
