Fixed Braces Available in Scrub Hill

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. Residents of Scrub Hill have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Fixed Brace Options in Scrub Hill

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