Teeth Straightening with Braces in Eyres Monsell

Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Residents of Eyres Monsell have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Eyres Monsell

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 work identically to metal but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them far less visible. They cost a little more and need careful cleaning to avoid staining.

Lingual braces are bonded to the tongue-facing surface of the teeth, so they are invisible from the front. They are the most discreet fixed option, cost the most, and need a short speech-adaptation period.

Self-ligating braces (such as Damon or In-Ovation) use a slide or clip instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and sometimes the number of adjustment visits. Both metal and ceramic versions are available in Eyres Monsell.
