Braces in Moneyrow Green

Orthodontists serving Moneyrow Green offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Moneyrow Green

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