Fixed metal braces have been used for many years to straighten teeth and it is testament to their effectiveness that they are still used to this day – albeit with some technological advancements to help. Our specialist orthodontists have the skills to make very precise changes to ensure you achieve incredible and long-lasting results.
Ceramic braces are a type of fixed brace and work in a similar way to traditional metal braces. However, ceramic braces replace the visible metal bracket with a clear ceramic alternative, so they will be less visible, yet retain all the precision of a traditional fixed metal brace. Our highly experienced specialists have been fitting clear brace solutions for years.
Fixed metal braces straighten teeth using a combination of metal brackets and wires. Our expert team will attach a small square bracket to the front of each tooth and connect them using a thin archwire. The wire that connects the brackets creates tension, which gradually shifts your teeth to the final position. Your braces will be adjusted every six to 10 weeks.

At the beginning of your treatment, we’ll carefully attach a clear bracket to the front of each tooth. These brackets are connected by a clear or tooth-coloured wire which will gently move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll need to pop back to see us approximately every eight weeks so we can see how things are improving and to make any necessary adjustments.
Your treatment time will depend on your individual requirements, but your front teeth could be straightened in just a matter of months. As your smile is unique, the cost of fixed metal braces will depend entirely on your individual needs. We will be able to assess this at your initial consultation with one of our dentists or orthodontists.
