Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. In Lawers, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Getting two or three consultations before committing is entirely reasonable for private treatment, and it's the best way to judge both the plan and the clinician.
