Teeth Straightening with Braces in Rhydroser

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Orthodontists serving Rhydroser offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. Because they act around the clock, they treat cases that removable appliances struggle with. Typical treatment spans roughly one to two years, depending on complexity.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Rhydroser

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 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 replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Rhydroser offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.

Should Teenagers Choose Aligners or Fixed Braces?

This depends on both clinical suitability and the teenager's temperament.
