For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. In Finegand, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
Fixed Brace Options in Finegand
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 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 Finegand orthodontists.
Choosing a Brace Provider in Finegand
The practices worth shortlisting in Finegand explain your options rather than pushing one, quote transparently, and make clear who will treat you and what happens if the case runs over.
Specialist orthodontists hold the MOrth qualification — three years of postgraduate training beyond dental school — and are worth it for complex cases; a trained general dentist can be a good fit for straightforward crowding.
