Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. In Warthermarske, 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.
Brace Types Explained for Patients in Warthermarske
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 replace the elastic ligature with a built-in clip, which lowers friction and can mean fewer appointments. Many practices in Warthermarske offer them in both metal and ceramic finishes.
