For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. Residents of Tallarn Green have a genuine choice of brace type, and the best option is the one matched to your clinical needs. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
Fixed Brace Options in Tallarn Green
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 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 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 Tallarn Green orthodontists.
