Fixed Braces

Straighter Smiles, Built to Last

Beeston Dental Family Dental Practice

Due to genetics, natural development, or lifestyle factors, teeth can become crowded, crooked, or misaligned over time. At Beeston Dental, we use modern fixed brace systems to reliably straighten your teeth and improve the overall balance and function of your smile.

Using proven orthodontic techniques alongside precise planning, fixed braces allow us to guide your teeth into their ideal position with accuracy and control, creating results that are both predictable and long-lasting.

  • Straighten crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth effectively
  • Suitable for both simple and more complex alignment issues
  • Fixed in place for continuous, controlled tooth movement
  • Regular adjustments to keep your treatment progressing
  • Customised treatment plan designed around your smile

Fixed braces are a highly effective and dependable solution for achieving a straighter smile. After your initial consultation, your braces will be carefully fitted and adjusted over time to gradually move your teeth in small, controlled stages.

Unlike removable aligners, fixed braces work continuously, meaning you don’t need to remember to wear them—helping ensure consistent progress throughout your treatment. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your results and make any necessary adjustments along the way.

This makes fixed braces an ideal option for patients seeking a reliable, precise, and proven orthodontic treatment, particularly for more complex cases.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Fixed Braces Beeston Dental Practice & Implant Clinic

    1. What are fixed braces?

      Fixed braces are a traditional orthodontic treatment that uses brackets and wires attached to your teeth to gradually move them into the correct position. They apply continuous, gentle pressure to guide teeth into alignment over time. Fixed braces are highly effective for correcting crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth and can treat more complex bite issues with precise, predictable results.

    2. How long does fixed braces treatment take?

      The length of treatment depends on the complexity of your case. On average, fixed braces are worn for 12–24 months. During your consultation, we will assess your teeth and provide a personalised treatment timeline so you know what to expect from start to finish.

    3. Are fixed braces suitable for teenagers?

      Yes, fixed braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments for teenagers. They are highly effective during dental development and can correct a wide range of alignment and bite issues. We will assess suitability during your consultation to ensure the best treatment option is recommended.

    4. Do fixed braces hurt?

      You may feel mild discomfort after braces are first fitted or following adjustments. This is normal and usually settles within a few days as your teeth begin to move. Most patients find any soreness manageable and temporary.

    5. Can I eat normally with fixed braces?

      Yes, but some dietary adjustments are needed. You should avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage the brackets or wires. We will provide full guidance on foods to avoid and how to care for your braces throughout treatment.

    6. How often will I need check-ups during treatment?

      Most patients attend adjustment appointments every 4–8 weeks. These visits allow us to tighten the braces, monitor progress, and ensure your teeth are moving safely and effectively throughout treatment.

    7. Will I need to wear retainers after fixed braces?

      Yes. Retainers are essential after treatment to keep your teeth in their new position. Teeth naturally shift over time, so wearing retainers as instructed helps maintain your results long term and protects your new smile.
