Fixed Braces vs Invisalign Braces

Fixed Braces
Effective At Moving Teeth
Fixed braces, especially metal braces allow for precise teeth movement, making them very effective at moving teeth.
Suitable For Severe Cases
Fixed braces are often better suited for treating complex cases of teeth misalignment. The dentist has more control over teeth movement – making difficult teeth adjustments are better achieved with fixed brace as a result.
Popular With Children
Fixed braces, especially metal braces are very popular with children. They come in different types and colours, making them more fun to wear. Their cost effective nature helps as well.
Invisalign Braces
Virtually Invisible
Invisalign braces are made from clear plastic material, making them virtually invisible to others.
Minimal Lifestyle Impact

Your Braces Treatment in London with Whites Dental
Getting braces is a big step towards achieving a healthy, confident smile. Here’s how to prepare for braces in a few simple steps.
Whether you’re considering braces for yourself or your child, this list helps you on your journey to a straighter, healthier smile.
How to Prepare for Braces
- Consultation: Schedule a professional assessment, including X-rays and a discussion of treatment options, this is the first step in preparing for braces.
- Know Your Options: Choose between traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners like Invisalign.
- Address Oral Health: Resolve issues such as plaque, gum disease, or cavities before starting treatment.
- Receive Your Smile Plan: Understand your treatment timeline, costs, and key steps for success.
- Know Your Treatment Timeline: Adults may need longer treatment due to denser bone structure, while children benefit from natural jaw growth.
- Personalise Your Braces: Select bracket styles, colourful ligatures.
- Prepare for Fitting: Learn what to expect during the fitting process and the initial adjustment period.
- Home Care Essentials:
- Emergency Kit: Stock up on pain relief, orthodontic wax, mouthwash and floss threaders.
- Daily Routine: Brush after meals, floss carefully, rinse with mouthwash, and avoid hard or sticky foods.
Initial Consultation
Schedule an appointment with an orthodontist. You may need a referral from your dentist or you can directly make an appointment with an orthodontic specialist. This is the first appointment where the orthodontist will examine your teeth, jaws, and facial structure. X-rays, photographs and discuss potential treatment plans. This appointment typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
Treatment Planning
Based on the examination, the orthodontist will develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They will discuss the type of braces that would be most suitable for your case, which can include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners, Invisalign.
Where traditional teeth brackets are considered the best option, the process of attaching brackets is generally standardized, but adjustments are made for each individual based on their unique dental anatomy and treatment plan. The orthodontist carefully plans the placement of each bracket according to the specific needs of the patient’s case. The size and type of brackets, as well as the archwire material, may also be adjusted based on individual factors.
Discussion of Treatment Plan and Cost
The orthodontist will discuss the recommended treatment plan with you, explaining the estimated duration, expected outcomes, and any potential complications.
They will also provide information on the cost of the treatment, as well as payment options, our dental finance and insurance coverage.
Dental Insurance including braces
If your requirement for dental braces is classed as clinical need, (we can assist you with this terminology and diagnosis) the cost of your braces treatment, could be covered by your dental insurance provider.
Clinic Preparation for Dental Braces
If there are any pre-treatment dental procedures required, such as extractions or cavity fillings, additional time may be needed. The duration of this step can vary based on the complexity of the procedures.
You may also be given instructions on maintaining good oral hygiene during orthodontic teeth correction. Whether you are looking for adult braces or a private orthodontist for children you will need your orthodontist to specify a treatment plan, this will include the findings of the assessment, pre-treatments, types of braces, adjustments and treatment duration.
Braces Fitting at our London Clinics
Once the treatment plan is finalised and any necessary pre-treatment work is completed, the actual fitting of braces or delivery of aligners can typically be done in a single appointment. This appointment may last approximately 1 to 2 hours. You can arrange to have this fitting at either of our two London locations – situated near Marble Arch and Waterloo. It is worth familiarising yourself with the above points to allow you to properly prepare for having braces, practical things like wax and teeth cleaning kit will help you adapt to a slightly new routine.
If you are getting traditional braces, the orthodontist will attach brackets to each tooth using a special adhesive. Then, archwires are threaded through the brackets and secured with elastic bands or other fasteners.
If you are getting clear aligners, a series of custom-made aligners will be provided to you, and you will switch to a new set at regular intervals.
In total, the process from the initial consultation to having braces fitted may take several weeks to a few months, depending on the factors mentioned above. It’s essential to discuss the estimated timeline with your orthodontist during the initial consultation, as they can provide a more accurate assessment based on your specific case. If you are an adult you may find the information within A guide to getting braces at any age of use, it is worth noting that Whites Dental specialise in adult braces treatments and childrens orthodontics.
Keep in mind that orthodontic treatment is often a long-term process, and adjustments will be necessary throughout the treatment period. Regular follow-up appointments for adjustments and progress checks are integral to the success of the treatment.
Braces Adjustment Appointments
After the initial fitting, you will need periodic adjustment appointments. During these visits, the orthodontist will make necessary adjustments to the braces or aligners to ensure progress according to the treatment plan. Adjustments may involve tightening wires, changing bands, or providing new sets of aligners. Each individual will require bespoke adjustment periods and the time wearing braces will also depend on the specifics of the treatment, you can discover more about the time it takes to straighten teeth through having a consultation with one of our experienced London Dental team.
Follow-up Care Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for the success of orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist will monitor your progress and address any concerns or issues that may arise.
Maintenance and Retention After the active phase of teeth correction is complete, you’ll likely need to wear retainers to maintain the new position of your teeth.
