Orthodontic Braces in Cherry Burton

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. Residents of Cherry Burton have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Cherry Burton

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 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 Cherry Burton orthodontists.
