Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. In Corrimony, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. Because they act around the clock, they treat cases that removable appliances struggle with. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
What to Look For in an Orthodontic Practice in Corrimony
Before choosing a Corrimony 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.
Getting two or three consultations before committing is entirely reasonable for private treatment, and it's the best way to judge both the plan and the clinician.
Brace Types Explained for Patients in Corrimony
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 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 replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Corrimony offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
