Confident, Straight, Smile.
Precise Alignment
Fixed braces are bonded directly to your teeth, allowing for controlled, gradual tooth movement. This gives orthodontists more precision than removable aligners. Whether using metal or ceramic braces, you’ll see consistent progress throughout your treatment.
Suitable for All Cases
From minor cosmetic issues to complex bite problems, fixed braces can handle it all. They’re especially useful for young patients and adults with crowded or rotated teeth. If you’ve been told aligners aren’t suitable, wired braces may be the right choice.
Affordable and Durable
Fixed braces are a cost-effective solution for long-term smile correction. Meta braces and ceramic options are both durable, offering reliable performance throughout the course of treatment. Our Leek team will help you find a plan that fits your budget.
What is the Treatment?
Fixed braces are orthodontic devices that use brackets, wires, and elastic bands to gradually reposition your teeth over time. They are available in both metal (meta braces) and ceramic braces, depending on your aesthetic preference and clinical needs.
At our Leek, Staffordshire clinic, we offer fixed braces that are carefully fitted and adjusted throughout your treatment journey. Each bracket is bonded securely to a tooth and connected by a thin archwire, which gently guides your teeth into the ideal position.
Unlike removable aligners, fixed braces are constantly working. This means your teeth are moving day and night, leading to quicker and more controlled results in many cases.

The Treatment Process
Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a free consultation at our Leek practice. We’ll examine your teeth, take digital scans or X-rays, and recommend the best treatment plan for your goals. You’ll also get to choose between metal or ceramic braces, based on your lifestyle and preferences.
Fitting Your Braces
During the fitting appointment, we bond the brackets to your teeth and connect them using a customised archwire. This process is painless and takes around 60–90 minutes. You’ll be given full aftercare guidance and tips on keeping your braces clean and comfortable.
Adjustments and Follow-Up
You will return every 6–8 weeks for routine adjustments. These appointments ensure that your fixed braces continue to apply the correct pressure to move your teeth efficiently. Most treatments take 12–24 months, with visible changes often noticed within weeks.
