Discreet Choices for Adults in Stow Bedon
Clear aligners (including Invisalign) are the most popular adult choice in Stow Bedon — virtually invisible, removable for meals, and easy to fit around professional life. They suit mild to moderate cases, provided you commit to 20–22 hours a day.
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in while giving the continuous control of fixed treatment — a strong option for adults with moderate to complex cases who aren't ideal aligner candidates.
Lingual braces are hidden entirely behind the teeth, ideal for adults who can't have any visible appliance; expect a premium price and a couple of weeks adapting your speech.
Metal fixed braces are the budget workhorse for demanding adult cases; since the NHS rarely funds adults, they're the cheapest fixed route privately in Stow Bedon.
