Orthodontic Braces in Day Green

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Patients across Day Green 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. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Fixed Brace Options in Day 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 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 Day Green offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
