Why Patients Love Fixed Braces for Teeth Straightening

A Brand New Smile

Your brand-new smile will look symmetrical and completely in proportion to your lips, mouth, and face shape.

Predictable Results

The technologies we use to plan your treatment facilitate a predictable end result. Dr Jack Acorn will plan your treatment, taking every eventuality into account. We work with a renowned dental laboratory using high-quality materials to fabricate your lightweight, comfortable fixed brace.

Your Patient Journey

Consultation

If you are new to the practice, a full dental examination will need to be completed, including a set of X-rays. The condition of your soft tissues (gums and tongue) will also be examined before fixed braces can be prescribed.

We will discuss your orthodontic options, explaining the advantages and differences of our fixed braces and removable Invisalign® treatment. Once fixed braces have been identified as the favoured course of treatment, your dentist will take digital scans and photographs of your teeth using our state-of-the-art iTero scanner.

Your dentist will present you with a fully costed treatment plan. Once this has been approved, the dental lab can begin designing your braces.

Braces and Check-ups

We will fit your brace and make sure it suits your mouth shape. Your dentist must see you every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress.

Maintaining the Results

Once your teeth have reached the desired position, the brace can be removed. Your dentist will provide you with a retainer to wear, preventing your teeth from moving after treatment.

FAQs

Which type of fixed brace do I need?

Traditional fixed metal braces and ceramic braces both have fantastic benefits. Whilst traditional fixed braces are strong and less vulnerable to fracturing, ceramic braces are discreet, using tooth-coloured wires and subtle ceramic brackets to straighten your teeth.

We recommend ceramic braces to patients who feel self-conscious about wearing a metal brace and want a discreet appliance.

Are fixed braces better than Invisalign®?

This depends on how severely your teeth are misaligned. Fixed braces are better suited to highly complex orthodontic concerns, whilst Invisalign® can deal with anything from mild to complex problems.

Why choose Creffield Lodge Dental Practice for teeth straightening treatment?

As a forward-thinking private dental practice, we are committed to offering fair prices to our patients, particularly for procedures as important as teeth straightening with fixed braces. We also offer finance and a payment plan for patients who would prefer to split the cost of their treatment over a period of months.

The Practice Principal, Dr Jack Acorn, has invested in multiple digitised workflow systems and impression-taking technology designed to make the teeth straightening process straightforward and stress-free for patients. He has overseen countless fixed braces cases, and as a Platinum Invisalign® provider, he has a deep understanding of smile aesthetics and proportions.
