Fixed Brace Options in Burnham Deepdale

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 work identically to metal but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them far less visible. They cost a little more and need careful cleaning to avoid staining.

Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth and cannot be seen from outside. Fitting is specialist work, the cost is highest, and most patients adapt to the feel and speech changes within a few weeks.

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 Burnham Deepdale.

Orthodontic Conditions in Burnham Deepdale

Many people in Burnham Deepdale live with orthodontic problems without realising there are effective solutions. They affect chewing, speech and long-term dental health, not just appearance. Understanding your condition is the first step to knowing what treatment can help.

Early Assessment in Burnham Deepdale

Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Some patients in Burnham Deepdale have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. Many of these conditions are treatable, and early diagnosis improves outcomes.

Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies

Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
