Teeth Straightening with Braces in Lyndon

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Residents of Lyndon have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. Because they act around the clock, they treat cases that removable appliances struggle with. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Fixed Brace Options in Lyndon

Metal braces are the benchmark treatment: small steel brackets, an archwire, and regular adjustments. They suit all case types and are the least expensive private option, as well as the NHS standard.

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 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 Lyndon orthodontists.
