Braces in Burton Green

Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. In Burton Green, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Types of Braces Available in Burton Green

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 are bonded to the tongue-facing surface of the teeth, so they are invisible from the front. They are the most discreet fixed option, cost the most, and need a short speech-adaptation period.

Self-ligating braces use a clip mechanism rather than elastic bands to hold the wire. They are often suggested for crowded cases where reduced friction helps early tooth movement, and are offered by several Burton Green orthodontists.
