Brace Types Explained for Patients in Stanton St Quintin

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 are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.

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 Stanton St Quintin offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
