Orthodontic Braces in Daisy Green

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement.

They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.

Types of Braces Available in Daisy Green

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 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 placed behind the teeth and cannot be seen from outside. Fitting is specialist work, the cost is highest, and most patients adapt to the feel and speech changes within a few weeks.

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