Why have fixed braces with Lincoln Orthodontics?

Specialist Orthodontists

Our orthodontists have completed years of additional specialist training dedicated to diagnosing and treating tooth and bite problems.

Experience with complex cases

Fixed braces give our orthodontists precise control over tooth movement, so we can treat a wide range of problems, including more complex cases.

Treatment tailored to you

We'll recommend the treatment that's right for your teeth and bite, not simply the appliance you arrived asking for.

Metal braces in Lincoln

Metal braces are the original and most widely recognised orthodontic treatment - small metal brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by a thin archwire that gently guides your teeth into place. Modern brackets are slimmer and more comfortable than ever, and you can personalise them with a choice of coloured elastics.

Suitable for all ages, metal braces are a highly effective and more affordable fixed brace option, handling everything from simple alignment to complex corrections.

Clear ceramic braces in Lincoln

Clear ceramic braces work in exactly the same way as metal braces, but use translucent, tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your natural teeth, making them more discreet than traditional metal braces.

At Lincoln Orthodontics we use Clarity™ Advanced ceramic braces, known for their strength, stain resistance and smooth, comfortable fit - a popular choice for adults and teenagers who want a more subtle option without compromising on results.

Metal vs ceramic

Which fixed brace is right for you?

Both metal and ceramic braces straighten your teeth in exactly the same way - fixed brackets and a wire gently guiding them into place. The real difference comes down to how they look and what they cost. Not sure which is right for you? You don’t need to decide on your own - your Specialist Orthodontist will talk you through both and recommend the best fit for your smile, your lifestyle and your budget. Here’s how they compare.

What can fixed braces treat?

Fixed braces give us precise control over every tooth, which makes them one of the most versatile treatments we offer. As a specialist orthodontic practice, we can assess your teeth and bite and recommend the best way forward. Fixed braces can be used to treat many orthodontic problems, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Protruding teeth
  • Deep, open or crossbites
  • Rotated or tilted teeth
  • More complex bite and jaw problems

Extra support between appointments

Fixed braces need regular check-ups, but not every check has to mean a trip to the practice. With Dental Monitoring, our team can keep a closer eye on your teeth and brace between visits using quick scans taken from your phone.

It helps us spot anything that needs attention early and keep your treatment on track, with fewer unnecessary journeys into Lincoln.

Waiting for NHS orthodontic treatment?

NHS orthodontic treatment offers excellent care for children who meet the eligibility criteria, but waiting times can be long. You don't need to join an NHS waiting list to be assessed with us privately.

As a specialist orthodontic practice, we can assess your child and, if treatment is right for them, begin according to availability once you decide to go ahead.

The cost of braces depends on the type of braces and the complexity of your case. At your free consultation we'll give you a clear, fixed-price quote, with 0% interest finance available to spread the cost.

Both straighten your teeth in exactly the same way. Metal braces use metal brackets and are a highly effective, more affordable option. Clear ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your teeth, so they're more discreet - a popular choice for adults in Lincoln.

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic needs and the amount of tooth movement required. Your Specialist Orthodontist will give you a personalised estimate once they have assessed you.

Ceramic braces work in a very similar way to metal braces and can be an effective option for many patients. Your Specialist Orthodontist will advise whether ceramic or metal braces are most appropriate for your individual treatment needs.

It's normal to experience some tenderness or pressure for a few days after your brace is fitted and following adjustment appointments. This usually settles as your mouth adapts to your brace.
