Brace Types Explained for Patients in Camelon

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 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 replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Camelon offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
