What are Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces for teeth alignment are tried-and-tested champions of teeth straightening. Unlike removable aligners, they stay affixed to your teeth, working around the clock to gently guide your teeth into perfect alignment. These braces consist of small brackets (metal or ceramic) that are bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire that gradually shifts them into place. They’re low-maintenance, fuss-free, and deliver precise, long-lasting results without needing constant adjustments from you.
Types of Fixed Braces?
Conventional metal braces: The most prevalent orthodontic fixed braces—these traditional metal braces are a proven method for straightening teeth. They are made up of metal brackets (tooth attachments), archwires (wires that connect brackets across the teeth to apply pressure), and elastics or rubber bands to hold the wire in place.
Ceramic braces: Ceramic braces for adults are a subtle alternative with tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your natural teeth—ideal for adults and teens who want a discreet look.
Lingual braces: Completely hidden behind your teeth—lingual braces are fixed to the back of your teeth and offer an invisible straightening option, perfect for professionals or anyone who prefers a low-profile option. Though they take time to get adjusted to.
Self-ligating braces: Featuring an advanced clip system instead of rubber bands, these braces move teeth more smoothly and comfortably. One of the most popular types of clear fixed braces that use self-ligating technology are the Damon braces.
We regularly provide consultations and fixed braces treatments to patients from SE3, Kidbrooke Village, Eltham, Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Sidcup, Woolwich and Bexleyheath.

What Our Patients Say
Fantastic practice. Lovely dentist but the hygienist is absolutely brilliant! Having sensitive teeth, i advised her I was sensitive to hot and cold water. She used warm water to clean my teeth and I left with a big fat smile on my face. I already booked my next appointment!
Karen is absolutely lovely. She is fabulous at her job. Great on the phone and certainly makes you feel welcome.
They would be lost without her.
Cheers Karen
Customer service by receptionist is always friendly and chatty.
Mr Pourezza always quick to see you and get it done efficiently.
Thank you 🙂
I had an emergency dental crisis. I’ve never been to this clinic before as my Dentist is in London Bridge. I live in Kidbrooke Village and this is local to me, and since it was an emergency and everywhere I had called were fully booked, I had no other choice but to give it a go. I’m so glad I did. The dentist is so lovely, and he did a stellar job! It was pain-free and completed within minutes. There was even complete transparency with the price.
Thank you very much for your assistance today!
