Types of Braces Available in Mydroilin

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 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 Mydroilin.
