Fixed Braces

Fixed braces use a combination of brackets (attached to each tooth) and wires to move your teeth into the correct position over time, gently. They’re always working — 24 hours a day — to correct alignment, close gaps, or improve your bite.

While traditional in design, modern fixed braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than in the past. Options such as tooth-coloured ceramic brackets are also available for a more discreet appearance.

Fixed braces are often the prime solution for moderate to complex orthodontic needs. They give your dentist or orthodontist complete control over tooth movement, making them highly effective for delivering predictable, high-quality results.

Benefits of fixed braces:

• Highly effective for all types of cases – From simple crowding to complex bite corrections.
• Always working – No need to remember to remove or replace aligners.
• Precise control – Ideal for achieving detailed, accurate movements.
• Cost-effective – Especially for long or complex treatment plans.
• Customisable appearance – Available with clear brackets for a more subtle look.

Fixed braces can be used to treat a wide variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Overcrowded or crooked teeth.
• Gaps or spacing.
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
• Misaligned jaws.
• Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment.

Your journey begins with a full orthodontic consultation, where we assess your bite, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment option most suited to your needs.

Step 1: Comprehensive consultation.

We take time to assess your teeth, gums, and jaw alignment. Digital X-rays or 3D scans may be used to map your treatment with precision.

Step 2: Fitting your braces.

Brackets are securely attached to your teeth and connected with a fine arch wire. This is gently adjusted over time to move your teeth into position.

Step 3: Regular adjustments.

You’ll return every 6–8 weeks for progress check-ups and adjustments. These appointments are quick and essential to keeping your treatment on track.

Step 4: Beautiful results.

Once your braces are removed, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your results and reveal your beautifully aligned smile.

Fixed braces are suitable for both adults and teenagers. If you’re looking for the most precise and reliable way to straighten your teeth — particularly if you have complex needs — fixed braces may be your option.

We also offer aesthetic alternatives, such as clear ceramic braces and lingual braces (fitted behind the teeth), for those who prefer a more discreet appearance.
