A better smile, that is what our patients tell us they want when they come to us to get their teeth straightened.
Fixed braces are a fast-acting Orthodontic treatment specialising in more complex procedures.
Fixed braces' core benefit is their ability to fix those more complicated and difficult Orthodontic problems, making them the first choice for many, especially young people and teens.
The length of time varies from person to person because it will depend upon the complexity of each case.
To give a rough guide, the majority of our patients have their braces on anywhere between 12 and 24 months. During your consultation, will be able to give you a more accurate estimate as to how long the treatment will take. This is not an exact science, and sometimes the teeth move quicker than anticipated, or slower.
As with any Orthodontic treatment, a level of mild discomfort is to be expected. Any pain experienced after the brace is fitted or the bands are changed usually improves after 48 hours and can be easily managed with painkillers if required.
