What are fixed metal braces?
Fixed metal braces are a highly precise orthodontic treatment, made up of small brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by a custom archwire. Over time, gentle, controlled forces are applied to guide your teeth into their ideal position with a high level of accuracy.
Because metal braces remain securely in place throughout treatment, they allow for detailed, consistent adjustments at every stage. This makes them particularly effective for patients requiring more complex alignment or bite correction, where control and predictability are essential.
At Dr Devesh Shelat’s Cheshire clinic, fixed braces are carefully planned and adjusted by a specialist orthodontist, ensuring each phase of treatment is delivered with precision and consistency.

Fixed Braces vs Invisalign® – Which Is Right for You?
Fixed braces are often recommended for more complex orthodontic cases where maximum control of tooth movement is required. Invisalign® aligners may be suitable for mild to moderate cases and offer a removable option. During your consultation, Dr Shelat will advise you on the most appropriate treatment based on your clinical needs and smile goals.
What to expect with fixed braces treatment in Cheshire
Your treatment begins with a detailed orthodontic consultation at our Cheshire clinic, including digital scans and a carefully planned, personalised treatment approach. This allows Dr Devesh Shelat to assess your teeth, bite, and overall alignment before recommending the most appropriate course of treatment.
Once your fixed (metal) braces are fitted, you’ll attend regular review appointments so your progress can be closely monitored and adjustments made with precision at each stage.
