Fixed Metal
Braces
Traditional ‘train track’ braces have come a long way. They are far smaller, lower profile and easier to attach than ever before. Teenagers, and even adults, now enjoy showing off their traditional braces with coloured elastics, from rainbows to coloured patterns.
Conventional metal braces are highly reliable and clinically efficient.
Fixed conventional braces are available on the NHS subject to dentist referral and clinical suitability.
