Achieve a Straighter Smile with Fixed Braces
At Simply Teeth Essex, we believe everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile. Fixed braces are a reliable and effective way to straighten crooked teeth, close gaps, and correct bite issues such as overbites and underbites.
As a private orthodontic provider in Essex, we offer high-quality fixed brace treatment for adults and teenagers, including those not eligible for NHS care. With personalised treatment plans, flexible payment options, and 0% finance available, we make achieving your ideal smile simple and affordable.
What Are Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces are a traditional and highly effective form of orthodontic treatment designed to move teeth into their correct positions gradually and precisely. Unlike removable aligners, fixed braces stay in place throughout the treatment, allowing for consistent and controlled tooth movement.
Fixed braces are made up of several components:
Brackets – small metal or ceramic attachments bonded to each tooth.
Archwire – a thin wire that connects the brackets and applies gentle pressure to move the teeth.
Elastic bands (ligatures) used to hold the wire securely in place (in some cases)
Types of Fixed Braces:
At Simply Teeth Essex, we offer different types of fixed braces to suit your preferences and clinical needs:
Metal Fixed Braces
Strong, durable, and highly effective, these are the most common type of braces.
Ceramic Fixed Braces
Made from tooth-coloured materials for a more discreet appearance while still delivering excellent results.

The Fixed Braces Treatment Process
Your journey to a straighter smile with fixed braces at Simply Teeth Essex follows a clear and structured process:
Initial Consultation
You will meet with one of our experienced orthodontists, who will assess your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. We will discuss your concerns, expectations, and whether fixed braces are the right treatment for you.
Treatment Planning
If fixed braces are suitable, we will take X-rays, photographs, and impressions or digital scans of your teeth to create a detailed treatment plan.
Fitting Your Braces
Your brackets will be carefully bonded to your teeth, and the arch wire will be placed to begin the alignment process. This appointment is usually comfortable, and we will explain how to care for your braces.
Regular Adjustments
You will attend review appointments approximately every 4–6 weeks so we can adjust your braces and monitor your progress.
Completion and Retainers
Once your teeth have reached their desired position, your braces will be removed, and you will be fitted with retainers to maintain your new smile long-term.
Treatment time typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
