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.
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.

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.
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.
