Fixed Brace Options in Warter

Metal braces remain the most prescribed appliance worldwide. Stainless-steel brackets are progressively tightened at each visit, making them the most cost-effective route for both simple and complex cases.

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 (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 Warter.
