Brace Types Explained for Patients in Wyberton Fen

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 swap the metal bracket for a clear or ivory ceramic one, cutting visibility sharply while keeping the same mechanics. Popular with adults and older teens who want discretion without going lingual.

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 Wyberton Fen.
