Traditional braces

Traditional metal braces are suitable for almost all types of orthodontic issues. They can be used in patients of all ages and are one of the most efficient methods of teeth straightening, popularly used in dentistry since the 1950s. The metal brackets are glued to the surface of your teeth and an archwire which is attached to the brackets applies pressure to the teeth to help create a neatly aligned smile. This is a gradual yet highly rewarding process and can take up to 2 years depending on your orthodontic issues. Traditional braces also help achieve long-lasting results.

Alternative braces

If you are worried that they may draw unwanted attention to your mouth then you can speak to our dentist and find out about ceramic braces which work in the same way, but the brackets are designed to match the colour of your teeth and are therefore more discreet. Lingual braces are also available here at the practice.

Traditional braces, ceramic braces and lingual braces help correct complex orthodontic issues if you have minor issues then you can ask about clear aligners instead. Speak to us at Ashlow Orthodontics today to find out more.
