Fixed Braces Available in Burton Pidsea

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. Orthodontists serving Burton Pidsea offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Fixed Brace Options in Burton Pidsea

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 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 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 (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 Burton Pidsea.
