Fixed Braces in Heckmondwike
Straight Teeth with Safe, Reliable Results
Want to improve your smile with a treatment that works?
Fixed braces remain one of the most trusted ways to straighten teeth.
At Kirklees Dental Centre, we provide fixed brace treatment for children, teenagers and adults. Whether you need mild correction or something more complex, we are here to help you every step of the way.
We welcome patients from Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, Cleckheaton, Batley, Liversedge and nearby towns.
What Are Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces use small brackets and wires to gently move your teeth into a better position over time. The brackets are attached to each tooth and connected by a thin wire. These braces stay on for the whole course of treatment.
Here is what usually happens:
- We examine your teeth and take scans to plan your treatment
- We fit the brackets and wire carefully to your teeth
- We see you every few weeks to make adjustments
- Your teeth move steadily into place over several months
- We remove the braces and fit a retainer to keep your new smile in place
Fixed braces are very effective and have been used for many years with great success.
What Braces Can Fix
Fixed braces are suitable for both simple and complex cases. They can help with:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that stick out or overlap
- Bite problems such as overbite, underbite or crossbite
- Jaw alignment issues
They give your dentist full control of the movement, which means precise results.
Why People Choose Fixed Braces
Although clear aligners are popular, fixed braces still have important benefits:
- They work for all ages and most cases
- They stay in place so you cannot lose them
- They move teeth with consistent pressure
- They are reliable and often more affordable
- They are a great option for children and teens
You can also choose clear or tooth-coloured brackets for a more discreet look.
Who It Is For
- Children who are ready for their first braces
- Teenagers who want a straight and healthy smile
- Adults who prefer a fixed treatment option
- Anyone with bite issues or overcrowding
- Patients who want proven, long-term results
If you are unsure which option is best, we can compare fixed braces and clear aligners during your consultation.
