Ready, Set, Smile! Get Your Fixed Metal Braces in Belfast

At Martina Collins Dental & Skin Clinic, we believe everyone deserves the confidence that comes with a beautifully aligned smile. Whether you’re dealing with overcrowded teeth, noticeable gaps, or bite alignment issues, fixed metal braces offer a tried-and-tested solution that delivers exceptional results. As one of the most versatile orthodontic treatments available, fixed braces are designed to correct even the most complex dental concerns with precision and reliability.

Why Fixed Metal Braces Remain a Trusted Orthodontic Solution

While modern orthodontics has introduced discreet options like clear aligners, fixed metal braces remain a popular choice for patients who value their proven effectiveness. These braces use a combination of sturdy metal brackets and wires to apply consistent, controlled pressure, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal positions. This precise movement allows us to achieve results that are not always possible with other systems, giving you the straight, healthy smile you’ve always wanted.

Conditions Treated by Fixed Metal Braces

Fixed metal braces are effective for addressing the following:

  • Misaligned bites (malocclusion): Corrects overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

  • Crowded teeth: Creates space and straightens overlapping teeth.

  • Gapped teeth: Closes spaces between teeth for a uniform appearance.

  • Rotated or protrusive teeth: Aligns teeth to improve aesthetics and function.

Why Consider Fixed Metal Braces as an Adult?

Many adults hesitate to pursue orthodontic treatment, often thinking it’s too late to address their dental concerns. The truth is, it’s never too late to improve your smile. Fixed metal braces are particularly effective for adults because they offer:

  • Precision: With fixed braces, your dentist can achieve highly accurate adjustments that may not be possible with other systems.

  • Effectiveness: Adult teeth can require more deliberate and consistent force to shift, making the sturdy design of fixed braces an ideal choice.

  • Versatility: Fixed braces can address a wide range of dental concerns, making them suitable for nearly any adult patient.

Benefits of Adult Braces

Beyond the cosmetic benefits of a straighter smile, fixed braces can also improve your oral health. By correcting misalignments and bite issues, braces make it easier to clean your teeth, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and excessive wear on your teeth over time. For adults in Belfast, fixed braces are not just about aesthetics—they’re an investment in your long-term dental health.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Comfort levels: Some discomfort is normal after adjustments, as your teeth are actively shifting. This usually subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

  • Oral hygiene: Correct brushing and flossing techniques are essential to maintain oral health during treatment. We provide guidance on caring for your braces effectively.

  • Dietary considerations: Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods to prevent damage to the braces.

Affordable Orthodontic Solutions

We understand that cost is a significant consideration. At Martina Collins Dental & Skin Clinic, we offer flexible payment plans, including interest-free financing options, to make adult braces in Belfast accessible. An initial deposit is required, but the remaining costs can be spread throughout the course of the treatment. Detailed payment plans are provided during your consultation.

About Service

Traditional fixed metal braces use metal brackets combined with metal wires and silver elastics. Although these are not invisible, traditional braces are still quite widely used due to their versatility and effectiveness. The use of brackets enables the dentist to precisely reposition the teeth in ways that aren't always possible with more modern systems, providing you with the best possible results.

Fixed metal braces can treat most orthodontic problems, including issues with occlusion or the way the teeth bite together. They can be used to close gaps between teeth, to correct teeth that are rotated or protrusive, or teeth which are crooked due to overcrowding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of the frequently asked questions

How often will I need an appointment?

An appointment will be required every 4 to 6 weeks to monitor the progress and adjust the brace. Slight discomfort can be expected after each appointment.

Will the teeth move after the treatment is finished?

After any orthodontic treatment the teeth will always want to move back once the brace is removed. To avoid this happening we provide a bonded permanent retainer and a removable retainer to wear at night. Retention is so important and is a commitment for life to ensure the teeth don't relapse.

Do I have to pay upfront?

We offer different payment options to allow you to spread the cost of orthodontic treatment so you will never had to pay upfront. We do usually ask for an inital deposit or alternatively we offer interest free finance. You will be given a bespoke treatment plan detailing payment options after your intial consultation.
