Brace Types Explained for Patients in Roman Bank

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 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 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 Roman Bank offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
