Brace Types Explained for Patients in Husborne Crawley

Metal braces remain the most prescribed appliance worldwide. Stainless-steel brackets are progressively tightened at each visit, making them the most cost-effective route for both simple and complex cases.

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 use a clip mechanism rather than elastic bands to hold the wire. They are often suggested for crowded cases where reduced friction helps early tooth movement, and are offered by several Husborne Crawley orthodontists.
