Fixed Braces
Crooked teeth can have a major impact on your general appearance and self-confidence along with making it difficult to eat certain foods and more difficult to keep your teeth clean and healthy.
What’s the problem with Crooked Teeth?
Through our work we have discovered crooked teeth can have a real impact on an individuals self-confidence both in social and professional environments. Crooked teeth are also more difficult to clean which can discolour more quickly and increase the risk of developing gum disease, which can lead to the premature loss of teeth.
What are Conventional Braces?
Conventional braces are fixed to your teeth and still regarded as the gold standard for fine and precise tooth movements. All of our conventional brace treatment is performed by Dr Khambay who is the Professor of Orthodontics at Birmingham University.

What are the alternative options?
Invisalign is the main alternative to having conventional braces. This is an easy process of wearing a series of clear bespoke plastic trays (aligners) which are simply changed weekly to straighten your teeth. As the aligners are clear they are very discreet and no-one will even know your wearing them. They are also removable which allows you to eat what you want and to clean your teeth normally throughout the process
Veneers and Crowns are the final option. Depending on the starting positions of your teeth this option may or may not be possible. Your teeth would need to be prepared (drilled) to have a veneer or crown fitted.
