Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Residents of Staughton Green have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
Fixed Brace Options in Staughton Green
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 replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Staughton Green offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
