Fixed Brace Options in Creagh
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 are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.
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 Creagh.

Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address. Performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) under general anaesthetic, it is combined with 12-18 months of orthodontic treatment before and after the surgical procedure.

Orthodontists generally recommend a first assessment by age 7–8, not because treatment starts then, but because a specialist can identify developing problems that benefit from early intervention.
