Teeth Straightening with Braces in Ewerby

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. Residents of Ewerby have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. 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.

Fixed Brace Options in Ewerby

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 are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.

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 Ewerby orthodontists.
