Bracket-and-wire braces have quietly evolved into lighter, faster, more comfortable systems. In Corrour Shooting Lodge, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
Types of Braces Available in Corrour Shooting Lodge
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 Corrour Shooting Lodge.
