Teeth Straightening with Braces in Stow Park

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Orthodontists serving Stow Park offer metal, ceramic, lingual and self-ligating appliances to suit different cases and budgets. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Types of Braces Available in Stow Park

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 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 are bonded to the tongue-facing surface of the teeth, so they are invisible from the front. They are the most discreet fixed option, cost the most, and need a short speech-adaptation period.

Self-ligating braces (such as Damon or In-Ovation) use a slide or clip instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and sometimes the number of adjustment visits. Both metal and ceramic versions are available in Stow Park.
