Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Residents of Hadzor 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. Typical treatment spans roughly one to two years, depending on complexity.
Fixed Brace Options in Hadzor
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 swap the metal bracket for a clear or ivory ceramic one, cutting visibility sharply while keeping the same mechanics. Popular with adults and older teens who want discretion without going lingual.
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 replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Hadzor offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
