Braces in Highstreet Green

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Patients across Highstreet Green can access the full range, from traditional metal to discreet ceramic and hidden lingual systems. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Highstreet Green

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 (such as Damon or In-Ovation) use a slide or clip instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and sometimes the number of adjustment visits. Both metal and ceramic versions are available in Highstreet Green.
