Fixed Brace Options in Invergeldie
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 are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.
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 (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 Invergeldie.

Jaw Problems & Treatment in Invergeldie
Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. They span TMJ pain through to skeletal discrepancies that may need jaw surgery. Early specialist assessment is always the right starting point.
Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies
Skeletal underbite (Class III) occurs when the lower jaw is larger or more forward than the upper jaw. Mild cases can be addressed with camouflage orthodontics. Moderate to severe cases — particularly in adults — require orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
Common Orthodontic Problems in Invergeldie
The orthodontists serving Invergeldie treat a broad spectrum of tooth and jaw problems. They affect chewing, speech and long-term dental health, not just appearance. A photo assessment can give you an early steer on what you're dealing with.
Early Assessment in Invergeldie
Many orthodontic problems are easier to treat when identified early — particularly in growing patients where jaw development can still be guided. Orthodontists generally recommend a first assessment by age 7–8, not because treatment starts then, but because a specialist can identify developing problems that benefit from early intervention.
