For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Residents of Quoig have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.
Fixed Brace Options in Quoig
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 swap the metal bracket for a clear or ivory ceramic one, cutting visibility sharply while keeping the same mechanics. Popular with adults and older teens who want discretion without going lingual.
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 Quoig offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
