Fixed braces

Serving patients throughout Guildford, Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming and Woking

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, brackets are carefully bonded to your teeth, before joining them together with a wire which gradually aligns your teeth into a straighter position. The wire will need to be changed every 6 to 8 weeks and progress checked.

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.

Bold or discreet… your fixed braces options:

Metal braces and wires

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

Clear braces

Often referred to as ceramic braces, tooth coloured braces or invisible braces, clear braces 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.

If you are looking for teeth straightening in Guildford, Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming and Woking and want to know more about your options, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Guildford Dental Centre.

I had a great experience at Guildford Dental Centre, the receptionist Jacqui was extremely helpful, re booking my appointments. And my dentist Derek was very reassuring with my future dental plans.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre . Derek is an amazing dentist who’s kind, patient & is in my opinion second to none. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! His nurse Megan is warm, kind and makes me feel so comfortable as soon as I walk into the surgery. The reception team are so efficient, easy to talk to and professional.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre for anyone looking at dental services in the Guildford or the wider Surrey/surrounding areas. Dr. Derek Whittle and Megan were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and efficient during my recent visit. I received a thorough cleaning, a filling, and measurements alongside clear instructions for teeth whitening, all of which were done with great care and professionalism, as well as useful tips for maintaining good dental health through best practice habits and lifestyle choices. The procedures were a complete success, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend this practice for their exceptional service and approach.

The dental hygienist is very thorough and good communicator and patient and as I'm an anxious patient that means alot to me.

I am happy with Guildford Dental Centre because I have confidence in Dr Whittle, my dentist,who I trust to only recommend treatments which are genuinely necessary.He has done major root canal work on me and a few awkward fillings, and always works swiftly and gently,keeping me informed about progress as he goes along,and most importantly, he manages to do unpleasant dental procedures without me having any pain!
