Braces in Regil

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Orthodontists serving Regil offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Typical treatment spans roughly one to two years, depending on complexity.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Regil

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 sit on the inner surfaces of the teeth and are completely hidden when you smile or speak. Custom-milled per tooth, they handle a wide range of cases but are the most technically demanding and expensive.

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 Regil orthodontists.
