Our professional orthodontics team at North Down Implant and Orthodontic Clinic can help adult patients achieve a straighter smile.
Fixed braces remain one of the most popular and predictable ways to treat adult orthodontic issues. At North Down Implant and Orthodontic Clinic, we’re proud of the range of teeth straightening options we can offer our patients, including fixed metal braces. Promising successful, predictable outcomes, fixed metal braces offer patients an affordable, hassle-free way to straighten out a smile.
Using brackets and archwires to gently move the teeth into the desired position, fixed braces are applied and removed by a trained orthodontist, and as such, they require some lifestyle changes. These include using a special toothbrush to ensure food and debris are removed from the mouth, and you may find that certain foods are off the menu to ensure you don’t damage or harm the brace. You’ll also have to come into the practice to have them adjusted every 4-6 weeks.
The amount of time patients spend wearing their fixed braces varies according to the individual and will depend on the teeth’ position at the start of the treatment. In most cases, however, the treatment time can take up to 12 months or more. If you’re dreaming of a straighter smile, our specialist team can help make it a reality, starting with an in-depth consultation, where we can help determine which treatment is right for you.
