Teeth Straightening with Braces in Castle Baynard

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Residents of Castle Baynard have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Castle Baynard

Metal braces use stainless-steel brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire. They are the most affordable fixed option and handle every level of complexity, and modern brackets are smaller and rounder than older designs.

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 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 Castle Baynard.
