Fitting takes around an hour, and adjustment appointments in High Green are usually every 6–9 weeks. Consistent attendance matters — missed visits extend treatment. The High Green overview sets out local facts, the nearest practices and the NHS funding route that applies here.

Types of Braces Available in High Green

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 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 High Green offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
