Why Patients Choose Fixed Braces

Reliable tooth movement for crowding, gaps and bite correction.

Fixed braces London - Dr Edina with a fixed brace patient in London

Fixed braces remain one of the most established orthodontic treatments because they allow the clinician to control tooth movement throughout treatment. Unlike removable aligners, the brackets and wires stay attached to the teeth and can be adjusted progressively as the teeth move.

Suitable for a wide range of cases – Fixed braces can be used for crowding, gaps, protruding or rotated teeth and bite problems such as overbites and crossbites.

Precise control of tooth movement – Because the appliance remains fixed in place, individual teeth can be moved in carefully planned directions throughout treatment.

Different fixed brace systems available – Patients can choose between metal braces, ceramic braces and Damon braces, depending on clinical needs, appearance preferences and budget.

Suitable for adults and younger patients – Fixed braces can be used across a wide age range where the teeth and gums are suitable for orthodontic treatment.

At Whites Dental, fixed braces treatment is available at our Waterloo and Marble Arch clinics. Dr Ravinder has more than 18 years of dentistry experience and works with a range of fixed brace systems, including metal, ceramic and Damon braces.

    Types Of Fixed Braces

    Metal Braces

    Fixed Braces London - Metal Braces

    Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires and are usually the most cost-effective fixed brace option. They provide strong control over tooth movement and can be suitable for simple through to more complex cases.

    Ceramic Braces

    Fixed Braces London - Ceramic Braces

    Ceramic braces work in a similar way to metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets to make the appliance less noticeable. They are often chosen by adults who want a more discreet fixed brace.

    Damon Braces

    Fixed Braces London - Damon Braces

    Damon braces use self-ligating brackets that hold the archwire without conventional elastic ties. They provide another fixed brace option for patients whose treatment needs are suited to this system.

    At Whites Dental, patients can choose from several fixed brace systems, including metal, ceramic and Damon braces. If you would like to compare fixed braces with removable orthodontic options, you can also explore our main braces treatment page or speak to our team during your consultation.

    Patient Testimonials

    Image of an opening Quote

    “I have had an excellent experience with Whites dental so far. I opted for a fixed brace for my upper teeth, with a fixed brace on the lower teeth to come – and the results are very impressive as my teeth have straightened substantially in only a few months."

    How Are Fixed Braces Glued To Teeth?

    Fixed braces are attached to the teeth using a dental bonding material. Before the brackets are fitted, the tooth surfaces are cleaned and prepared so that each bracket can be positioned accurately. The brackets are then bonded to the front of the teeth and connected using an orthodontic archwire.

    Once fitted, the brackets and wire work together to apply controlled forces to the teeth. During review appointments, the brace can be adjusted so that individual teeth continue moving according to the treatment plan.

    If you would like to understand how fixed braces are fitted, what the appointment involves and how the appliance is adjusted afterwards, this will be explained during your fixed braces consultation.

    After active treatment is complete, retainers are normally required to help maintain the new tooth positions. Depending on your treatment plan, this may involve removable retainers, fixed retainers or a combination of both.
