Fixed braces can transform the aesthetic of crooked teeth and give you a healthier mouth. With your teeth beautifully straight, you might also notice your confidence in smiling blossoms too. Fixed braces are extremely efficient for straightening moderate to severely crooked and misaligned teeth. We may also recommend a fixed brace if your bite is out of position.
It’s no overstatement to say that braces can be life-changing. Once your teeth are more evenly positioned, you will find them much easier to take care of. This is only going to be good news for the future health of your teeth. The cosmetic benefits of teeth straightening can’t be ignored either. A more symmetrical and even smile can also bring about a change in your self-esteem and help you to live your best life!
We will carefully plan your treatment using cutting-edge digital planning software. Following a detailed clinical assessment of your teeth, we will be able to give you an accurate projection of how long treatment will take.
What can I expect from my treatment journey?
Once we have investigated your suitability for treatment and confirmed you are happy with the treatment plan we propose, we can start your treatment. Your braces are custom-made and affixed to your teeth. You’ll find they’re really easy to get used to.
You can expect your treatment to take in the region of 12 – 24 months, and we will monitor your progress closely during this time.

How often do I need to come in to have my brace adjusted?
We will ask you to come and see us every 6 to 8 weeks, so we can adjust your brace and keep an eye on your teeth’s movements.
Will I be able to eat normally?
There are some limitations on what you can and can’t eat with fixed braces. Chewy foods like toffees and caramels are a no-no with braces (they can easily become stuck in your brace!), as are harder foods like crusty bread. If you’re someone who might prefer a more flexible treatment model, take a look at our Invisalign® page.
Am I suitable for fixed braces?
We may suggest a fixed brace if you’re someone who might feel they don’t have the discipline to wear removable Invisalign® aligners. During your consultation, we can discuss all options open to you and answer your questions about having your teeth straightened.
How exactly does treatment improve my oral health?
With more of your tooth surfaces exposed, your brush and floss will be able to reach parts of your mouth they struggled to get to before treatment. This means your oral hygiene routine will be much more efficient, giving you a better long-term oral health forecast.
What are modern fixed braces like?
It’s no wonder so many people choose fixed braces, as modern designs are super lightweight and comfortable to wear. We can also offer ceramic fixed braces, which blend in with the appearance of your tooth shade. These suit patients who are looking for a discreet-looking brace.
We also offer virtually invisible lingual braces which sit snugly on the inside of your teeth.
Invisalign® vs metal braces: which should I choose?
We’ll run you through your options when you come in for your consultation. If you have severe structural problems with your teeth, we might recommend a fixed brace, which is more suited to complex cases.
How much does treatment cost?
Treatment typically ranges in cost from £1,500 to £5,000, with the final price largely influenced by the degree of dental movement needed. This cost can differ significantly among patients based on their individual treatment requirements.
Do you offer finance for dental treatment?
Yes, we offer interest-free and interest-bearing finance so that high-quality dental care is accessible to all our patients.
I’m embarrassed about coming in – can you help?
We understand that coming in to seek implant-based treatments is a huge life event. Our clinicians are compassionate people who encounter many patients who feel self-conscious about the condition of their mouths. We understand how debilitating lost teeth can be, particularly on your confidence levels and your everyday happiness. We are very happy to book you in for a practice tour or an appointment with our treatment coordinator in a non-clinical setting before your consultation.
Who performs my treatment?
Multiple members of the Denmark Street Dental clinical team will be involved in the planning and treating your dental care. This includes dentists, dental nurses, dental technicians and sedation dentists, who work seamlessly together to deliver predictable results.
Can you offer sedation?
We do. Sedation is invaluable for helping extremely anxious patients relax during their treatment.

I left NHS dentistry with poor results and very poor advice, i returned to Denmark street dentists Gateshead, with gum infections, crooked front teeth and a missing front incisor, i now have a perfect smile. Many thanks to all the team at Denmark street for all your work and time, it has been painless and a very professional experience.
Matt was lovely from the start. My tooth holding my bridge had snapped. He explained thoroughly what treatment I needed, timescale and cost. He saved part of my bridge so no unnecessary cost. I was well looked after on every visit and got me straight in when I was worried. Would recommend Denmark without a doubt. Thank you
I have been having treatment with Natalie over the last few months. She is informative, educates about your mouth hygiene in a lovely manner that is easy to understand. She has improved the health of my gums. Thank you Natalie 😊.
Excellent from arrival to departure. Staff and practice could not be better. My family been patients here for decades.Believe it or not I love going to Denmark Street Dental Practice!
Just been to Denmark St Dentist today for one and a half hours surgery appointment. I felt no pain at all for the duration of the surgery and all done with professional attitude and a little bit of humour. Excellent!
I would like to thank Ash and everyone else involved with my implants, it has take a bit longer than normal, , due to covid lockdowns, but I’m 110% happy with my new look teeth, I would recommend anyone thinking of getting implants done, the team at Denmark Street Dental are fantastic.Thank you again to everyone
Went to the practice for a scan. Gemma looked after me and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She was very knowledgeable and professional and I would certainly recommend her.
I’ve always been an extremely nervous patient when going to the dentist, however from the minute I walked in to the practice the reception team were amazing. Went to see Ash and Rachel within a minute I felt so comfortable and at ease. For the first time in my life, I am now excited to receive dental treatment. Everything was fully explained and would rate them 10/10 if I could! Looking forward to going back!
I used this dental practice over the summer and highly recommend it. During the appointment, we had a good, long talk about what might be causing my issues, the cleaning itself was comfortable, and I got a lot of advice and free samples (I travel a lot and need lots of miniatures and they gave me about a dozen mini toothpastes etc.). Very impressed with the professionalism on display and if I lived locally I’d definitely be happy to make this my regular dental practice.
