Simple Fix

Ceramic Braces Here at Glasgow Southside Orthodontics we have the training and expertise to discuss with you the options of less visible braces that are better suited to your needs. Remember there are treatment alternatives that may work just as quickly, more compatibly and probably at a lesser cost but still give you a better long term result. We discuss all treatment options with you and help you make an informed decision.

Our range of 'Simple Fix' braces are available in stainless steel and ceramics.

Brands such as 6 Month Smiles, fast braces, Inman, Quick Straight Teeth are orthodontic appliances, often advertised by dentists offering a quick fix. All these branded braces follow the same basic principle used by Specialist orthodontists for years. However, we do not have to pay the expensive laboratory bills that non-specialist dentists do, so we offer such treatment for a very competitive cost.

Please get in touch for more information on our range of 'Simple Fix' braces.
