Brace Types Explained for Patients in Ogdens
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 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 use a clip mechanism rather than elastic bands to hold the wire. They are often suggested for crowded cases where reduced friction helps early tooth movement, and are offered by several Ogdens orthodontists.

The Conditions Orthodontists Treat in Ogdens
The problems below cover the great majority of cases assessed in Ogdens, from the very common to the more complex.
Jaw Problems Treated by Orthodontists in Ogdens
Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address. Performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) under general anaesthetic, it is combined with 12-18 months of orthodontic treatment before and after the surgical procedure.
