Orthodontic Braces in Tycrwyn

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. In Tycrwyn, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Most cases complete within 12 to 24 months.

Types of Braces Available in Tycrwyn

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 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 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 (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 Tycrwyn.
