Braces in Rydens

Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. In Rydens, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. Because they act around the clock, they treat cases that removable appliances struggle with. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Rydens

Metal braces remain the most prescribed appliance worldwide. Stainless-steel brackets are progressively tightened at each visit, making them the most cost-effective route for both simple and complex cases.

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 (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 Rydens.
