For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Orthodontists serving Rhydtalog offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Rhydtalog

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 (such as Damon or In-Ovation) use a slide or clip instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and sometimes the number of adjustment visits. Both metal and ceramic versions are available in Rhydtalog.
