Fixed Brace Options in Newton of Buttergrass
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 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 Newton of Buttergrass offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.

Getting the Timing Right for Teens
Most teenagers are best treated between 11 and 14: the adult teeth are through, yet active growth remains to be harnessed for bite correction that's far harder to achieve once growth stops.
