Types of Braces Available in Spring Park

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 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 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 use a clip mechanism rather than elastic bands to hold the wire. They are often suggested for crowded cases where reduced friction helps early tooth movement, and are offered by several Spring Park orthodontists.
