Types of Braces Available in Coleman Street

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

Before choosing a Coleman Street practice, check the fee is genuinely all-inclusive — records, adjustments, retainers and emergency visits — and that you're given a written breakdown, not just a headline price.
