Precision orthodontics

Some smiles need the precision only fixed braces can deliver

Not every case can be solved with clear aligners. Deep bites, severe crowding, rotated teeth and complex jaw relationships need the control and force that only fixed brackets and wires can provide.

Fixed braces use brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by a wire that applies gentle, continuous pressure to move each tooth into its ideal position. Modern brackets are smaller, more comfortable and more discreet than you might imagine. Ceramic options are virtually invisible. The result is the most controlled, predictable tooth movement available in orthodontics.

Why fixed braces at Dream Smiles

Orthodontic precision, premium care

Fixed braces are one of the most effective orthodontic tools available. In the right hands, the results speak for themselves.

01

Full control

Fixed braces give your orthodontist complete control over the direction, angle and rotation of every individual tooth. This level of precision is unmatched by removable aligners.

02

Ceramic brackets

Our tooth-coloured ceramic brackets are a discreet alternative to traditional metal. They blend with your teeth and are far less visible in everyday life.

03

Complex cases welcome

We regularly treat cases involving significant crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites and rotated teeth. If you have been told your case is difficult, we can help.

Your orthodontic journey

From consultation to straight teeth in three phases

Fixed brace treatment is a structured process with regular check-ups and adjustments along the way.

Consultation

We take photos, X-rays and digital scans to assess your case and create a detailed treatment plan. You will understand exactly what needs to happen and how long it will take. No obligation.

Braces fitted

Brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with an archwire. The fitting appointment takes around 60 to 90 minutes. You will have regular adjustment appointments every 4 to 6 weeks throughout treatment.

Braces removed

Once your teeth have reached their final position, the braces are removed and retainers are fitted to hold everything in place. Your straight smile is here to stay.

Real people, real results

The best measure of our work is not what we say. It is what our patients say.

Treatment typically takes 12 to 24 months depending on the complexity of your case. Your orthodontist will give you an accurate estimate at your consultation.
