Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Orthodontists serving Newyork offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Typical treatment spans roughly one to two years, depending on complexity.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Newyork
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 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 (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 Newyork.
