Types of Braces Available in Corrybrough

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 sit on the inner surfaces of the teeth and are completely hidden when you smile or speak. Custom-milled per tooth, they handle a wide range of cases but are the most technically demanding and expensive.

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

Timing — When Should Teenagers Start?

Most teenagers are best treated between 11 and 14: the adult teeth are through, yet active growth remains to be harnessed for bite correction that's far harder to achieve once growth stops.

Early Assessment in Corrybrough
