Fixed braces

Serving patients throughout Sturminster Newton

Fixed braces have been a popular straightening teeth solution for decades because of their effective and predictable results. Whilst they are suitable for treating simple cases, for some complex orthodontic problems there’s still no competition for traditional fixed braces.

What’s involved?

With a fixed solution, our teeth straightening dentist, our dentist will carefully bond brackets to your teeth, before joining them together with a wire which gradually aligns your teeth into a straighter position. You’ll need to see our dentist every 6 to 8 weeks to change your wire and check on progress.

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile. our dentist will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

Bold or discreet… your fixed braces options:

Metal braces and wires

The classic, most recognisable brace. Following recent advances in technology, our fixed metal braces at Sturminster Dental Care now use low profile brackets and wires for added comfort.

Clear braces

Often referred to as ceramic braces, tooth coloured braces or invisible braces, our clear braces at Sturminster Dental Care use clear brackets and tooth coloured wires for added discretion. They get the same great results as conventional metal braces – but they’re much harder to spot.

3 simple steps to a beautifully aligned smile:

  1. Consultation and planning
    After an initial consultation our dentist will take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. These records will take precise measurements to make your personal brackets and wires.
  2. Transformation
    Once your brackets and wires are ready, our dentist will fit them ensuring they are comfortable, so you can begin your straightening journey.

    You’ll need to return to see our dentist every 6 to 8 weeks to check on your progress and change your wire, to slowly guide your teeth into position.
  3. Retaining your new smile
    Once your new smile is achieved, you’ll need to wear a retainer to ensure your teeth remain beautifully aligned. Retainers can either be removable clear trays, similar to a mouth guard, or a fixed retainer which are discreetly attached to the back of the teeth for continual support.

If you are looking for fixed braces or clear braces in Sturminster Newton and want to know more about your options, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Sturminster Dental Care.

I was recently introduced to Sturminster Dental Practice by a very good friend on mine John Durham, having been unhappy with the care I was receiving elsewhere. I have now had 3 visits to this practice and the care and attention has been excellent, it is not something I look forward too visiting a dentist but getting the service I have received has taken away any concerns

5th September 2024

Exceptional care

5th September 2024

I rarely if ever good full marks but this practice deserves them. The reception staff are excellent and are always helpful. The clinicians, hygienists, dentists and nurses are also exceptional and I have great confidence in what they do and say. It is nice to see the same people each time rather than a revolving door of temporary staff. Highly recommended as a practice. I should also say I have no vested interest in the practice.

19th May 2022

I was expecting and had requested an extraction. My dentist listened to my reasons and sympathised with my position. When she had ascertained that I was not in any serious pain , she outlined an alternative treatment plan that could rid me of my discomfort but also save my tooth. She felt strongly that this line of treatment was in my best interest as I could quite soon find myself with a two tooth, visable gap.She treated me with respect and kindness throughout the consultation and I was able to accept her advice.

19th May 2022

Kate is a wonderful dentist, very considerate in all aspects of the appointment. Listening to any issues I might raise. Always puts you at raise, very professional.

Absolutely first class dental care from an extremely courteous and professional team. A trip to the dentist isn’t exactly everyone’s ideal place to visit, but all the staff here will make you feel totally at ease, and for me, have completely taken the fear factor away from the occasion. I’ve visited a few dental surgeries over the years, and this is the best by quite some distance. Top class service from a top class team. Thank you!
