Fixed Braces for Children and Teens in Mountsorrel

Fixed Braces for Children and Teens in Mountsorrel

Many children and teens will need orthodontic treatment to correct dental issues such as protruding teeth, overcrowded teeth or bite problems.
 
Fixed braces are the most precise way to straighten teeth and get a beautiful smile; they are also the most efficient way to correct teeth which have a moderate or severe orthodontic need.
 
As the name suggests, fixed braces are made up of small metal brackets which are fixed to the surface of your teeth and cannot be removed during treatment. A metal wire is threaded through the brackets which help guide your teeth into position.
 
If you have a child or teenager who is in need of orthodontic treatment and you live in Mountsorrel, Birstall, Loughborough or Leicestershire, get in touch for a consultation for fixed braces.

How do fixed braces in Leicestershire work?

A step-by-step guide to teeth straightening with clear braces – from a dentist near you

Step 1

At your first consultation, we will assess your mouth, teeth and gums.

Step 2

Once you are ready to begin treatment, at the next appointment, we begin by taking impressions of your teeth which will be used to create your custom-made braces. This is a painless process. When your fixed braces are ready, we will invite you back to the dental surgery in Mount Sorrel to have your braces fitted. This appointment will generally take between 30 and 60 minutes. First, we gently apply the square brackets to the front of your teeth. Again, this is completely painless.

Step 3

Next, the metal wire is threaded through the brackets and will be tightened to form pressure on your teeth, this is what helps your teeth to gradually move into place. Once this process is complete, your mouth may feel strange at first. You may notice pressure on your teeth, or your gums may feel a bit sore. This is normal and will settle down in a day or two. You can take paracetamol for any initial pain or discomfort.

What are the benefits of fixed braces for young people in Loughborough?

Patients from Birstall, Loughborough, Mountsorrel and throughout Leicestershire are choosing fixed braces because:

Fixed braces are the most precise form of teeth straightening – the position of brackets and wires allow better control over movement of teeth
Fixed braces can address a range of issues including overcrowding, spacing, overbites, underbites and crossbites. They remain the best option for treating more complex orthodontic needs
Unlike removable braces, there is no chance of forgetting to wear your braces or losing your braces because they remain fixed to your teeth
Fixed braces are more affordable than removable braces. If you are under 18 and are deemed to have a severe orthodontic need, you can claim teeth straightening on the NHS
Straight teeth not only look beautiful, but they are also easier to keep clean and ensure that they are free from plaque which can cause tooth decay and gum disease
Straight teeth will give a stunning smile which will improve self-confidence and esteem

fixed braces aftercare

We suggest that you eat softer foods for the first few days after having your fixed braces fitted.

Throughout the course of treatment, you should avoid eating very hard and very sugary foods as these can damage your braces.

We will need to see you fairly regularly to check on your teeth straightening process and to tighten your braces. The duration of your treatment depends upon each patient. On average, teeth straightening with fixed braces takes about 12 months to complete.
