Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Patients across Foremark can access the full range, from traditional metal to discreet ceramic and hidden lingual systems. Because they act around the clock, they treat cases that removable appliances struggle with. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.
Types of Braces Available in Foremark
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 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 sit on the inner surfaces of the teeth and are completely hidden when you smile or speak. Custom-milled per tooth, they handle a wide range of cases but are the most technically demanding and expensive.
Self-ligating braces replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Foremark offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
