Brace Types Explained for Patients in Misson

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 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 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 Misson orthodontists.

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.
