How Adults Straighten Their Teeth in Hollandstoun
Clear aligners are the default request from adults in Hollandstoun who want treatment nobody notices. Removable and discreet, they reward consistent wear and suit mild-to-moderate cases.
Ceramic braces trade a little visibility for the full control of a fixed appliance, suiting adults whose cases need more than aligners can deliver.
Lingual braces bond to the inner tooth surfaces for total invisibility from the front — the priciest route, popular with adults whose work is public-facing.
Metal fixed braces are the budget workhorse for demanding adult cases; since the NHS rarely funds adults, they're the cheapest fixed route privately in Hollandstoun.
