What are Fixed, Lingual and Clear Braces?
Teeth straightening has come a long way, yet fixed braces remain the most effective and efficient method of improving misalignments and overcrowding. They work by gently applying pressure over time to shift teeth into a healthier, more balanced position.
There are many types of braces (Metal braces, Ceramic braces, lingual braces, sectional braces, etc ..) and they are suitable for all ages to give you back a beautiful smile and correct all sort of alignment problems (crooked teeth, spacing or crowding) and bite problems (cross bite and destructive bite).
Metal Fixed Braces
A reliable and cost-effective solution, Metal Braces are versatile and efficient, ideal for patients of all ages and with all kinds of orthodontic concerns. They’re reliable, affordable and for many patients, deliver the fastest results.
Ceramic (White) Braces
Ceramic braces (or White braces) are similar in shape and size to metal fixed braces but use white tooth-coloured brackets. They’re a popular treatment for adults who prefer a more discreet treatment, without compromising on the effectiveness or the results.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are fixed to the inside surface of your teeth, making them completely hidden to the naked eye. Lingual braces are ideal for patients who are not suitable for removable aligners but do not want to show any metal or ceramic on their teeth and opt for this discreet option.
Why Straighten Teeth with Fixed Braces?
A straighter smile is a more confident and healthy smile. Correct alignment can make everyday care easier and protect your teeth for a long time.
When teeth are crowded or overlapping, it’s harder to brush or floss properly. This can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Straightening your teeth with fixed braces, invisible braces, or lingual braces makes oral hygiene simpler and more effective.
Proper bite and tooth alignment prevents chipping, cracking and wear down of teeth. And it prevents the wearing out of jaw joints therefore can eliminate headaches and pain associated with improper bite.
How long do braces take?
Using our state of the art Braces, the average correction time for front 6 teeth (social 6) is 4 months only, while most metal braces cases take around 12 months only ! and the Lingual braces being the longest option.

Why should I straighten my / my children’s teeth?
1. Healthier teeth and gums
Correctly aligned teeth are easier to brush, floss and allow saliva to flow freely between teeth reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
2. Reduced risk of abnormal wear
Properly aligned teeth allow the top and bottom jaws to meet properly enabling correct chewing which can reduce stress on the teeth and stop them from cracking and wearing out.
3. Prevent damage to the jaw joints
Proper bite and alignment prevents the wearing out of jaw joints and damage to the bone surfaces. It also eliminates the headache and pain that is associated with improper bite.
Patients with braces need to be extra vigilant with their oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing and dental visits are advised to keep teeth and gums healthy.
A healthy, balanced diet is important when wearing braces and patients may be advised to avoid certain foods that could get stuck in the braces (eg chewing gum or toffees).
How much do fixed braces cost?
Fixed braces range from $2,900 to $8,500, depending on the type, length, and complexity of your treatment. We’ll provide a clear quote at your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
