What Are Fixed Braces?

Fixed braces use brackets and wires that stay attached to your teeth throughout treatment, applying gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into their ideal position. Modern systems are slimmer, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever before.

Fixed braces are ideal for treating:
  • Crowded or overlapping teeth

  • Gaps and spacing problems

  • Rotations or severe misalignment

  • Bite issues such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite

  • Complex orthodontic cases requiring precise control

They offer consistency, accuracy, and reliability for adults seeking transformative results.

Fixed Braces vs Removable Braces

Both fixed and removable braces offer effective ways to straighten adult teeth, but the right choice depends on your individual needs, lifestyle, and orthodontic goals.

Which Is Right for You?
  • Fixed Braces
    -Best for moderate to severe alignment or bite issues
    -Provide continuous, highly controlled tooth movement
    -Ideal for complex cases

  • Removable Braces (Clear Aligners)
    -Virtually invisible and discreet
    -Suitable for mild to moderate concerns
    -Offer flexibility and easier oral hygiene

At Freshdental, we assess your dental health, goals, and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable orthodontic solution, ensuring you achieve the best possible results with confidence.

Frequently asked questions about Adult orthodontics at FreshDental

Am I too old to get braces or Invisalign?

Not at all. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for adults of any age as long as the teeth and gums are healthy. Whether you prefer discreet aligners or fixed braces, our specialist orthodontist can create a tailored plan that suits your goals and lifestyle.

How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. Mild alignment issues may take as little as a few months, while more complex treatments typically take 12–24 months. Your exact timeline will be discussed during your consultation.

How often will I need appointments?

Appointments are typically every 6–10 weeks. Invisalign may require fewer visits, while fixed braces usually involve regular adjustments. We will schedule these around your routine to minimise disruption.

Can orthodontic treatment fix bite problems?

Yes. Adult orthodontics can correct issues such as overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites. Correcting your bite can improve function, reduce jaw strain and protect your teeth long term.

Is orthodontic treatment painful?

You may experience mild pressure or discomfort when braces are fitted or aligners are changed, but this usually settles quickly. Modern orthodontic techniques prioritise comfort and use gentle, controlled forces to move the teeth.
