What are Fixed Braces?

Fixed braces are a form of dental braces which are used to straighten teeth and correct orthodontic problems. Fixed braces can help to:

  • Space out overcrowded teeth
  • Straighten crooked and protruding teeth
  • Close gaps between teeth
  • Correct bite problems including overbite, open bite, under bite and cross bite.

Fixed braces are made up of a bracket that is attached to your tooth and cannot be removed during teeth straightening treatment. A wire connects the brackets together using gentle pressure to move your teeth into their correct position.

At both our Mayfair and Guildford dental clinics, we offer metal fixed braces or ceramic fixed braces. Ceramic fixed braces are made up of white brackets and tooth-coloured wires which makes them more discreet and less visible to other people.

Whilst fixed braces have traditionally been associated with children and teenagers, we are seeing more and more adult patients from Mayfair, London, Guildford, Farnborough, Farnham, East Horsley and Surrey choosing to straighten teeth in this way because fixed braces are so precise and give the most reliable results.

What is the Process for Fixed Braces with Levitas?

Whether you visit us in Mayfair or Guildford, your first consultation will include a full examination to discuss the best treatment plan for your needs.

At your next appointment, we will take impressions of your teeth to help create your fixed braces. This is a quick and painless process.

Once your braces are ready, we will fit them in the clinic. In some cases, your orthodontist may use small elastic bands to apply extra pressure where needed. If so, they will explain everything clearly.

After fitting, it is normal to feel some pressure, mild soreness, or a slight lisp. These symptoms usually settle within a day or two.

Fixed braces work by applying gentle pressure through a wire connected to brackets. You will need regular appointments to have the wire adjusted, and your orthodontist will let you know how often to come in.

Fixed Braces FAQ

How do I keep my teeth clean with fixed braces?

It is essential to maintain a good oral hygiene when wearing fixed braces because food can become trapped. This not only looks unsightly but increases your chances of developing tooth decay.

You should brush your teeth twice a day spending at least 2 minutes on brushing each time. It is a good idea when wearing fixed braces to use an interdental toothbrush which has a smaller head and helps to reach the harder to clean places between your teeth and fixed braces.

Remember to regularly visit your hygienist whilst having treatment for fixed braces.

How long does it take to straighten teeth with fixed braces?
Every case is completely unique, so it is impossible to put time frames on a treatment time for fixed braces without seeing you in person first. As an average, some minor cases can take about 6 months of wearing fixed braces. More severe cases can take between 12 and 18 months.
Is there anything I should or shouldn’t do when wearing fixed braces?
For the first few days after having your fixed braces fitted, you may want to eat softer foods.

We would suggest that you avoid eating hard foods like whole apples, raw carrots and crusty bread during your treatment and instead cut up these foods whilst wearing fixed braces. You should not eat chewing gum whilst wearing fixed braces and you should limit the amount of sugary foods and drinks as it is harder to keep your mouth clean.

Please do keep up with a good oral hygiene during your treatment – brushing your teeth carefully and thoroughly and visiting your hygienist as usual.

If your mouth feels sore after your initial fixed brace fitting or after having your fixed braces tightened, you may want to take paracetamol to ease any pain.

Great dentist. Amazing with my nervous 7 year old who actually enjoyed her first ever clean!
Very friendly and well organised dental practice in Guildford. I came in for an airflow hygiene appointment my teeth are looking like glass! All the staff member are very helpful and super smooth process. Khaled explained everything in such detail- thanks!
Exceptional care and professionalism at Levitas Dental Clinic

I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding care I’ve received from Dr. Khaled and the entire team at Levitas Dental Clinic. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional.

Dr. Khaled truly goes above and beyond to ensure everything is of the highest standard. His calm, reassuring approach has completely changed the way I feel about visiting the dentist — something I never thought possible. I’ve always been anxious about dental appointments, but Dr. Khaled’s professionalism, patience, and clear communication helped me overcome my fears.

The quality of care and attention to detail are exceptional, and I can already see a significant improvement in my oral health. Every visit feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

I am deeply grateful for the excellent service and the positive experience I’ve had. I can only say great things about Dr. Khaled and the whole Levitas Dental team — they set the bar for what true dental care should be.
Levitas Dental Clinic offers exceptional care with a focus on patient comfort. The staff are knowledgeable, and the clinic is equipped with modern technology, that make going to the dentist an even better experience. The welcoming atmosphere from the staff is what sets off this dental practice, they have been so accommodating and kind through all my dental treatments. I would highly recommend and have done so to family and friends. It really is such a wonderful dental practice.
Hadn’t been to the dentist for a while so I booked here. The check up was really detailed, they showed me photos of my teeth on the screen which was actually quite interesting. The hygienist used some new method that didn’t hurt and my teeth felt really clean afterwards. I also asked about veneers, the dentist gave me options and advice without trying to push me into it. It felt like they genuinely cared rather than just selling a treatment
I went to Levitas Guildford for a hygiene and some bonding on my front tooth. SJ on reception was lovely, she explained everything in a calm way and sorted me out quickly. Dr Khaled was so gentle and made me feel relaxed, I honestly expected it to be more uncomfortable. The airflow was much better than anything I’ve had before and the bonding is invisible, you can’t even tell which bit was done. Left feeling like I had new teeth
I saw Idalina for a hygiene appointment. She was excellent, gentle kind and very informative. I would recommend to all.
lovely dentists everyone is so friendly
Khaled and his team are very friendly and professional. I had complicated root canal treatment and he did an excellent job with much care and attention. thank you !
Dr Khaled did my whitening at Levitas Guildford and I’m really happy with the results. He took the time to explain the process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. My teeth look so much brighter already. Great experience overall.
Went to Levitas in Guildford for a check-up after not seeing a dentist for way too long. Honestly expected a lecture but they were super chill about it. The dentist was really friendly, explained what I need to keep an eye on without making me feel bad. Place looks nice too, not clinical or scary. Feels like I’ve finally found a dentist I don’t dread going to.
I had been putting off replacing a missing tooth for years. Eating on one side was becoming a pain so I finally went to Levitas dental clinic in Guildford for an implant. The process took a few months from start to finish but now it feels like the tooth was never missing. Best decision I have made for my teeth in years.
I booked an Airflow clean here after a friend recommended it. My teeth have never felt this clean. I also had a little bonding done on my front tooth where I had a small chip. I did not realise how much it bothered me until I saw the before and after photos. It is subtle but makes a big difference when I smile.
Had a great experience at Levitas Dental Clinic in Guildford. Idalina, the hygienist, was professional, gentle, and thorough—she made the whole appointment really comfortable. The clinic is modern and welcoming, and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend!
So gentle and so thorough. Idalina is the best hygienist I have ever seen in my life. I can’t believe I didn’t come here sooner. Worth every penny
All staff at Levitas are absolutely lovely and Dr Khaled is a great dentist. I really enjoy my visits so I’ll definitely keep on coming back!
I’ve had composite bonding done before, but the attention to detail at Levitas Dental Guildford was on another level. The dentist took time to make sure the colour and shape suited my natural smile — and the results are amazing. I finally feel confident smiling again. The clinic is beautifully designed too, which really adds to the experience. Best cosmetic dentistry I’ve had in Surrey.
I chipped a back tooth and booked in thinking I’d need something major like a crown. Turns out they could fix it on the spot with a composite filling and it looks completely natural. Honestly can’t tell which tooth it was anymore. Khaled was really calm and explained everything without making me feel silly. 100% recommend them if you’re after honest, no-fuss care.
What impressed me most about Levitas Dental Guildford is their regenerative and preventive focus. I came in for a routine hygiene appointment and ended up learning so much about gum health, bone support, and long-term oral wellness. They use advanced technologies like Guided Biofilm Therapy and it honestly felt like a spa for my mouth! If you're looking for a forward-thinking dental clinic in Guildford, this is it.
You get what you pay for in Guildford. This clinic is a bit pricier than others in town but Dr Khaled is a great dentist - he’s very passionate about his work and I was very happy with the results of my hygiene clean. The equipment is also new and modern - some other places don’t have the same air flow machines so the results aren’t the same. Will be back for whitening treatment :)))
I received such nice care in Levitas Dental - from start to finish everyone guided me very well and the procedures went smoothly. I first got Airflow cleaning then whitening super impressed by the results! Thank you Idalina and Khaled!!
Really impressed with Levitas Dental Clinic. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and they made what’s usually a nerve-wracking experience feel surprisingly easy. You can tell they genuinely care. Would definitely recommend!
I had a dental check up with Dr Khalid . He was polite , thorough and passionate about his work. The setting was state of the art and modern . I really enjoyed the air flow hygiene procedure - amazing results !!
A special thanks to SJ who booked me in … kind and professional !
Thank you Levitas
Dr Khaled is one of the best modern dentists in the UK. He went above and beyond to explain every procedure. He deeply cares about the wellbeing of his patients and is exteremly professional. He uses the latest technology so you won't feel pain at all. He is very smooth and efficient. I highly recommend his services. The staff at Levitas is also very friendly.
About as pleasant an experience as you could wish for at a dentist! Khaled is very client focused and professional. Much more modern tools and practices than my previous dental practice in London.
Had my composite bonding done on my top 10 teeth and couldn’t be happier.
Highly recommend 👍🏼
Idalina, Mo and Lauren have done a great job keeping my not so perfect teeth in great shape, thank you guy's.
Dr Khaled Elgamaz and his team have looked after me for few years. I find them very professional and polite. I would highly recommend services.
I had 5 appointments, initially for an emergency. I am really uneasy at the dentist but at Levitas it was wonderful, with excellent professionalism and therapy! I shall be coming again as I feel totally at ease. Received excellent professional advice both from Khaled El Gamaz and his assistant, Lauren.
Best Dentist in Guildford! Very patient service; very good for nervous patients, had an initial consultation only 48 hours I was having the treatment, really recommend to anyone
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Khaled El Ghamas for dental care, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. El Ghamas is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. El Ghamas takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout my visit. I highly recommend Dr. Khaled El Ghamas to anyone seeking exceptional dental care.
I went to range of dentists in the last 3 years but non of them had these modern equipment or this professional and kind dentist, Dr.Khaled Elgamaz. The overall experience is great and the clinic contains hygiene standards.
I was in full pain but my dentist 🦷 Khaled was really amazing I want to send him many thanks 🙏
The clinic is equipped with modern technology and Dr.Khaled Elgamaz is welcoming , friendly,and kind through all my dental treatments.

Moreover ,He is professional and he has adopted the latest technology in his clinic.I will recommend it to my friends and family
It was an amazing experience. Dr. khaled Elgamaz is so professional and the staff are so friendly. I don’t trust any dentist but he was so professional and I highlyy recommend it.
Excellent experience. Dr Khaled Elgamaz is very knowledgeable and did a great job with the airflow treatment explaining everything to me. A great team too
Went to see Idalina after having not been to a Hygienist for many years, and I have to say she did an amazing job. No discomfort at all and my teeth looked super clean afterwards. Will definitely be visiting on a regular basis from now on. Highly recommended.
It was a great experience. It's also very professional. Dr. Khaled is great. I already have my next dental appointment.

Thank you very much. Let me find such a good service and professional dentist's office. I had my teeth cleaned many times at Guildford and other clinics in London. The experience was bad. But this clinic recommends it. excellent
Very professional and kind people ✌️
