Fixed Braces Available in Curr

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Patients across Curr can access the full range, from traditional metal to discreet ceramic and hidden lingual systems. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Curr

Metal braces are the benchmark treatment: small steel brackets, an archwire, and regular adjustments. They suit all case types and are the least expensive private option, as well as the NHS standard.

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 (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 Curr.
