What Are Fixed Braces and Who Are They For?
Fixed braces are a tried-and-tested orthodontic treatment that uses brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their ideal position. Unlike removable aligners, fixed braces stay in place throughout treatment, allowing for consistent, controlled tooth movement.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Moderate to severe crowding
- Bite issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Teeth that have shifted over time
- Patients seeking precise, predictable results
For many patients, fixed braces offer a more effective solution than removable options, especially where alignment is more complex.
If you are unsure which option is right for you, you can also explore more about our approach on the about our team page.
Metal vs Ceramic Braces, What Is the Difference?
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most traditional option and remain highly effective for all types of orthodontic cases.
- Strong and durable
- Suitable for complex alignment
- Often the most cost-effective option
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work in the same way but use tooth-coloured brackets for a more discreet appearance.
- Blend more naturally with your teeth
- Popular with adult patients
- Offer a balance between effectiveness and aesthetics
We will guide you through both options during your consultation so you can choose what feels right for your lifestyle and goals.
Benefits of Fixed Braces for Long-Term Results
Choosing fixed braces offers several advantages:
- Continuous treatment, no need to remember to wear aligners
- Greater control over tooth movement
- Effective for both simple and complex cases
- Reliable, predictable outcomes
- Long-lasting improvements in both function and appearance
Fixed braces are often the best option when precision matters, especially for patients looking to correct bite alignment as well as aesthetics.
How Long Does Fixed Braces Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies depending on your individual case.
- Minor corrections may take around 6 to 9 months
- More complex cases typically range from 12 to 24 months
During your consultation, we will provide a clear and realistic timeline based on your teeth, your goals, and the type of braces used.
