Fixed Braces

Welcome to St Edward Street Dental Practice, where we believe that every smile is unique and deserving of the best care. Our commitment to providing top-quality orthodontic solutions in Leek extends to our range of fixed braces, including traditional metal braces and discreet clear braces.

Metal Braces & Clear Braces

Traditional metal braces have been a trusted method for straightening teeth for decades. Comprising high-quality stainless steel, these braces are robust and efficient in addressing a variety of orthodontic issues. Their durability and reliability make them an excellent choice for patients seeking a cost-effective yet highly effective solution for teeth alignment.

For those who prefer a more discreet option, our fixed clear braces provide an aesthetic alternative without compromising on effectiveness. Clear braces use transparent or tooth-colored brackets and wires, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals who wish to undergo orthodontic treatment with minimal visibility.

Children's Braces

Understanding that orthodontic visits can be daunting for children, our practice focuses on creating a friendly and supportive environment. Our orthodontic team takes the time to explain procedures, answer questions, and ensure that each child feels comfortable and at ease throughout their orthodontic journey.

Early orthodontic treatment not only corrects alignment issues but also prevents potential oral health problems in the future. It’s an investment in your child’s well-being and confidence.
