Braces in Sarisbury Green

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. Orthodontists serving Sarisbury Green offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.

Fixed Brace Options in Sarisbury Green

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