For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Patients across Fraisthorpe can access the full range, from traditional metal to discreet ceramic and hidden lingual systems. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.
Brace Types Explained for Patients in Fraisthorpe
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 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 Fraisthorpe offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
