Fixed Braces Available in Eryrys

Bracket-and-wire braces have quietly evolved into lighter, faster, more comfortable systems.

They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Typical treatment spans roughly one to two years, depending on complexity.

Fixed Brace Options in Eryrys

Metal braces use stainless-steel brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire. They are the most affordable fixed option and handle every level of complexity, and modern brackets are smaller and rounder than older designs.

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 use a clip mechanism rather than elastic bands to hold the wire. They are often suggested for crowded cases where reduced friction helps early tooth movement, and are offered by several Eryrys orthodontists.
