Teeth Straightening with Braces in Staveley

Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. Orthodontists serving Staveley offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets.

Fixed Brace Options in Staveley

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 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 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 Staveley orthodontists.
