Fixed Braces Available in Tregynon

Bracket-and-wire braces have quietly evolved into lighter, faster, more comfortable systems.

Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Types of Braces Available in Tregynon

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 are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.

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 Tregynon offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
