They also mean healthier gums, a bite that behaves itself, and confidence that sticks around for years to come.
Fixed braces might not be the flashy newcomer on the block, but they’re still the gold standard when it comes to precision and predictability.
And here at Peacock Dental Spa, your smile makeover isn’t left to chance. Every step is overseen by our consultant orthodontist, so you know you’re in great hands from day one to brace-off day.
While there are plenty of modern aligner options out there, fixed braces still lead the way when it comes to exact tooth movement and tackling even the most complex cases.
They work around the clock — no taking them in and out — meaning progress is constant, and your results stay firmly on track. For patients who want maximum control over their outcome, they remain a gold standard.
Your teeth straightening journey will be overseen by Jamie, our consultant Specialist Orthodontist. Jamie has decades of experience and a track record for tackling cases most practices won’t even attempt. Whether it’s severe crowding, tricky bite issues, or previous orthodontic work that’s relapsed, Jamie designs a plan that gets results.
Fixed braces use brackets bonded to your teeth, connected by a wire that’s periodically adjusted. This gentle but consistent pressure guides your teeth into their ideal position over time.
The high-tech approach – including Ceph X-rays
At Peacock, we use Cephalometric (Ceph) X-rays alongside the usual panoramic X-ray as part of our advanced planning process. Planning orthodontic treatment properly isn’t just about getting a nice smile at the end. It’s also about understanding exactly how your teeth, jaw, and bite work together.
These specialised side-profile and pano scans give us a detailed view of your facial structure, jaw alignment, and how your teeth fit within that framework. The benefits for you include:
You might feel mild pressure after adjustments, but this usually fades within a day or two and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of your case (on average, 12–24 months).
Any initial changes in speech are temporary and typically resolve within a few days as you adapt.
Mostly, yes — but you’ll need to avoid very sticky, hard, or chewy foods that could damage your braces.
