Specialist Orthodontist Islington

Are fixed braces right for you?

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:

  • Crooked teeth and crowded teeth
  • Larger gaps between teeth
  • Rotated teeth and twisted teeth
  • Overbites and underbites
  • Crossbites and open bites

Start with a consultation with Dr Banaie to explore your options.

Fixed braces treatment timeline

How long do fixed braces take? How long it takes to straighten your smile depends on your case, tooth position, and treatment complexity. As an estimate, patients can expect:
Case typeTypical timeline
Mild casesMinor crowding, small gaps or simple alignment concerns may take around 6-12 months
Moderate casesMore noticeable crowding, spacing or bite concerns may take around 12-24 months
Complex casesMore complex bite correction or significant tooth movement may take around 18-36 months

I would just like to share about my experience after having treatment at Angel Dentist . Islington . Firstly I was referred to them by a friend who is a patient . I was greeted with a warm welcome by the practice manager Babac who was very helpful and informative. Then I was seen by Dr Amir and his assistant Monica . I needed a tooth extraction and a hole filled in my gums which needed stitchers . As someone who had a fear of the dentist I was amazed how it all went . I felt at ease and was informed of the procedure And was given time to ask any questions . I was so happy and was amazed when I went back to have the stitches taken out . It took second and no pain . I was later asked if I would like to see pictures of the before and after and was so pleased . Honestly it was worth every penny to be treated as a person and not another patient . Thank you Angel Dentist and I shall be seeing you all in the future for sure ????????????????????

I highly recommend Angel Smile! I’ve struggled with dental issues my entire life, and for nearly 10 years now, they’ve been my go-to clinic. Dr. Amin and Dr. Arash are simply the best dentists I’ve ever encountered—highly skilled, incredibly professional, and able to handle even the most complex cases (and I’ve had plenty!). What really sets them apart is not just their expertise, but their warm and welcoming approach. Every visit feels reassuring, and I always know I’m in safe hands. Over the years, they’ve gone from being my dentists to feeling like family. I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done for me!

I had an incredible experience at Angel Smile with my Invisalign treatment. Over the course of 8 months, I was routinely monitored and consulted by Dr. Amenien throughout the process. I am so happy with the changes. Highly recommend!

I am currently having implants with Dr Amin, who is remarkable in his knowledge, care, dedication and attention to detail. The level of treatment planing I received was flawless and the options I was offered was extensive and thorough. From the very first consultation I felt absolutely safe and in the best hands. Dr Amin and his team are truly outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone looking for the highest standard of dental care!

The reception team is extremely friendly at this clinic. Babak went above and beyond to help me, even taking the initiative to contact the scanning company directly to secure a shareable version of my scan. He followed up promptly, made sure I received everything, and explained each step clearly. His dedication, kindness, and genuine care made the whole process seamless. Truly outstanding service!

FAQs & Concerns

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.

Yes. You need retainers after any orthodontic treatment to help keep your teeth in their new position.
