Fixed braces are still the benchmark for predictable, reliable tooth movement. In Wiseton, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference.

Brace Types Explained for Patients in Wiseton

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 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 bonded to the tongue-facing surface of the teeth, so they are invisible from the front. They are the most discreet fixed option, cost the most, and need a short speech-adaptation period.

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 Wiseton.
