Fixed Brace Options in New Bradwell

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 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 New Bradwell offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.

Timing — When Should Teenagers Start?

The ideal age for most treatment is 11–14 — after most adult teeth have erupted but while jaw growth is still active. That growth lets orthodontists guide teeth more efficiently and, in some cases, use it to correct bite problems that would need more invasive treatment in an adult.
