Metal Braces

We are delighted to welcome you to our practice. This pack will guide you through what to expect at your first visit, the treatment options available, and the differences between NHS and private orthodontic care.

When it comes to treating Class II malocclusion (where the lower jaw is set back compared to the upper), orthodontists often reach for tools that encourage the lower jaw to grow forward during adolescence. Two of the most talked-about options today are the twin block appliance and Invisalign with mandibular advancement (MA).

So, you’ve decided to straighten your teeth, that’s a big (and exciting!) first step. But now you’re faced with a new question: Which type of braces should I choose? From traditional metal braces to invisible aligners and behind-the-teeth options, each type has its strengths, and its limitations. To help you decide, we’ve broken down the pros and cons of the most popular orthodontic treatments.
