In today's world, with modern aligner technology, could fixed braces still be the right treatment for you? They’re typically recommended for patients who need more reliable tooth movement and specialist orthodontic control in complex cases.
Today, they remain especially useful for severe bite problems and cases where our orthodontists need greater control over tooth movement, such as major tooth crowding, large gaps, severe rotations, and deep bite misalignments. Fixed braces can help improve:
Start with a consultation with Dr Banaie to explore your options.
| Case type | Typical timeline |

| Mild cases | Minor crowding, small gaps or simple alignment concerns may take around 6-12 months |
| Moderate cases | More noticeable crowding, spacing or bite concerns may take around 12-24 months |
| Complex cases | More complex bite correction or significant tooth movement may take around 18-36 months |
Fixed braces should be planned around more than just straight teeth.

It depends on your teeth, bite, lifestyle and goals. Fixed braces work continuously and can provide more controlled tooth movement. Invisalign is removable and more discreet, but you must wear it as instructed. Dr Fariba will explain which option suits your case.
Options may include traditional metal braces, coloured braces, white or clear braces and lingual braces behind the teeth. Your orthodontist will explain which options suit your teeth and bite.
Coloured braces are metal fixed braces with coloured elastic bands. They are popular with children and teens because the colours can make treatment feel more personal and fun.
White or clear braces are fixed braces designed to look more discreet than traditional metal braces. Adults and teens often choose them when they want fixed braces without a strong metal-brace appearance.
Mild cases may take around 6-12 months. Moderate cases may take around 12–24 months. More complex bite correction or significant tooth movement can take around 18–36 months. Your exact timeline depends on your case.
You may feel pressure or tenderness after your braces are fitted and after adjustment appointments. This is normal and usually settles as your teeth adapt.
Fixed braces at Angel Smile Dental start from £3,000. Your final fee will depend on your case complexity, treatment time and orthodontic plan.
Dr Fariba Banaie, Specialist Orthodontist, offers fixed braces at Angel Smile Dental and has an MSc in Orthodontics and over 20 years of orthodontic experience.
