For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Orthodontists serving Newlands offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.
Brace Types Explained for Patients in Newlands
Metal braces remain the most prescribed appliance worldwide. Stainless-steel brackets are progressively tightened at each visit, making them the most cost-effective route for both simple and complex cases.
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 Newlands offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
