Types of Braces Available in Resaurie
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 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 Resaurie orthodontists.

Fitting takes around an hour, and adjustment appointments in Resaurie are usually every 6–9 weeks. Consistent attendance matters — missed visits extend treatment. The Resaurie overview sets out local facts, the nearest practices and the NHS funding route that applies here.
