No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Before choosing a Far Bank practice, check the fee is genuinely all-inclusive — records, adjustments, retainers and emergency visits — and that you're given a written breakdown, not just a headline price.
For complex bites, a specialist practice earns its fee; for simple alignment, a GDP with orthodontic experience is often perfectly appropriate and more competitive on price.
