Brace Types Explained for Patients in Manor House

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 placed behind the teeth and cannot be seen from outside. Fitting is specialist work, the cost is highest, and most patients adapt to the feel and speech changes within a few weeks.

Self-ligating braces replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Manor House offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.

TMJ, Underbite & Jaw Surgery in Manor House

Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. Early specialist assessment is always the right starting point.

Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies

Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
