Fixed braces

Serving patients throughout Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex

Fixed braces have been a popular straightening teeth solution for decades because of their effective and predictable results. Whilst they are suitable for treating simple cases, for some complex orthodontic problems there’s still no competition for traditional fixed braces.

What’s involved?

With a fixed solution, brackets are carefully bonded to your teeth, before joining them together with a wire which gradually aligns your teeth into a straighter position. The wire will need to be changed every 6 to 8 weeks and progress checked.

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile.

Bold or discreet… your fixed braces options:

Metal braces and wires

The classic, most recognisable brace. Following recent advances in technology, fixed metal braces now use low profile brackets and wires for added comfort.

Clear braces

Often referred to as ceramic braces, tooth coloured braces or invisible braces, clear braces use clear brackets and tooth coloured wires for added discretion. They get the same great results as conventional metal braces – but they’re much harder to spot.

I was seen on arrival, dr Ellis carried out the checkup, found a need for a filling and did it .

Mr Ellis is the best dentist and it would be very difficult to find another dentist of his calibre. Mr Ellis listens to his patient and always provides good advice and options before any procedure. He leads a very professional, competent and caring team. There is always a warm welcome from the receptionist, which would put any nervous patient at ease (thankfully I am not of a nervous disposition).My difficult teeth have been kept in good order by Mr Ellis, his dental nurse and the hygienist for many years.I would like to convey my gratitude and thanks to Mr Ellis and his wonderful team.

I've recently moved to Hindhead after being at my previous dentist in London for many years Declan was recommended to me via a friend and up to date have not been disappointed at all with my move. Having been with my previous dentist for over three decades it's a big move to change dentist and an unnerving one as need to build relations again. Am very happy with my decision to have a dentist closer to home.
