Teeth Straightening with Braces in Llynfaes

Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Orthodontists serving Llynfaes offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Fixed Brace Options in Llynfaes

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 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 Llynfaes.
