Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Orthodontists serving Milton of Edradour offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. Because they act around the clock, they treat cases that removable appliances struggle with. Typical treatment spans roughly one to two years, depending on complexity.
Brace Types Explained for Patients in Milton of Edradour
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 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 Milton of Edradour.
