Brace Types Explained for Patients in Corbiehall
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 swap the metal bracket for a clear or ivory ceramic one, cutting visibility sharply while keeping the same mechanics. Popular with adults and older teens who want discretion without going lingual.
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 Corbiehall.
Teen Orthodontics in Corbiehall

Common Orthodontic Problems in Corbiehall
The problems below cover the great majority of cases assessed in Corbiehall, from the very common to the more complex.
TMJ, Underbite & Jaw Surgery in Corbiehall
Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. They span TMJ pain through to skeletal discrepancies that may need jaw surgery. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies
Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
