Fixed Orthodontics
at Dentalcare Swindon and OrthodonticsA Tried and Tested Way to Straighten Your Smile
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth, fixed braces remain one of the most reliable and effective treatments available.
They’ve been used for decades — and for good reason. Fixed orthodontics gives us precise control over tooth movement, meaning we can achieve excellent, long-lasting results, even in more complex cases.
Whether your concern is crowding, gaps, bite issues or teeth that feel out of place, fixed braces can make a real difference — both to how your smile looks and how it functions.
How Do Fixed Braces Work?
Fixed braces use small brackets that are gently bonded to the teeth and connected with a fine wire. Over time, controlled pressure guides the teeth into their ideal positions.
They stay in place throughout treatment, they work continuously — helping us achieve predictable, accurate results.
Types of Fixed Braces We Offer
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than many people expect. They’re strong, effective and suitable for patients of all ages.
They’re often the best option for more complex orthodontic cases and remain the most cost-effective choice.
Ceramic (Tooth-Coloured) Braces
Ceramic braces work in exactly the same way as metal braces, but the brackets are tooth-coloured, making them much less noticeable.
They’re a popular choice with adults who want a more discreet option without compromising on results.

What Can Fixed Braces Help With?
- Fixed orthodontics can correct:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Teeth that stick out or sit unevenly
Straight teeth aren’t just about appearance — they’re also easier to clean, which supports better long-term oral health.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Every smile is different, but most fixed brace treatments take between 12 and 24 months. We will always talk you through your expected timeline before starting.
Regular review appointments allow us to monitor progress and make small adjustments along the way.
Thinking About Braces?
If you’re unsure which orthodontic option is right for you, we’re happy to help. During your consultation, we’ll assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment for your smile and lifestyle.
A straighter smile is absolutely achievable — and we’ll support you every step of the way.
