Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available.

Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Types of Braces Available in Dolyronnen

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 Dolyronnen offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
