Fixed Braces
in Loughborough

Traditional fixed braces for guaranteed results

‘Fixed braces’ is the term used for traditional orthodontics and these are probably the most commonly used type of braces. Often referred to as “fixed appliances” or “train tracks” they are brackets fixed to each tooth with a thin wire running through them.

Despite of recent innovations in orthodontics these traditional braces are still widely used due to their versatility, exacting precision and proven results time and time again.

If you want to be looked after and have great teeth then this is the place to go! There is nothing I can fault about this company. They have always been so friendly, professional, always had appointment times, kept in touch to confirm appointments and the place is always spotless and smells amazing! Cleanliness is 10/10 too. They go the extra mile, sending little cards to wish you well with your new braces. I had one to say we hope your getting on with your new brace and another to say we hope you are loving your new smile! I am extremely happy with my results and I would high recommend this dentist to anyone!

Do I Need Fixed Braces?

Fixed braces work by gradually moving teeth into the desired position during a period of anywhere between 12-24 months and can be used to treat many common orthodontic problems, including:

Issues with your bite (occlusion, the way your teeth meet and move across each other)
Closing gaps and treating missing teeth
Correction of teeth that are rotated or protrusive
Teeth which are crooked due to overcrowding.
Correction of overbites (where the upper front teeth close too far forward of the lower front teeth). Or under-bites which are the opposite problem (where the lower front teeth are biting too far forward in front of the upper front teeth)

Many patients at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough wear fixed braces with confidence as they are rapidly becoming more socially acceptable

What Are the Benefits of Fixed Braces

The braces are permanently fixed in place, so treatment is fast and effective
This particular treatment is very precise, and is likely to be the best way to get the most perfectly straight smile

I had a lingual brace fitted to my top teeth with Ascent Dental last year and I am very pleased with the results. I had some overcrowding and crookedness which has now been resolved and I feel much more confident with my smile! I would definitely recommend this type of brace if you are wishing to straighten your teeth invisibly, no one even noticed that I had a brace unless I pointed it out. The staff were very helpful and supportive during my treatment. I am now considering having my bottom teeth done with the same type of brace.

Before & After

Liv

Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Every time I’ve been my appointments have been on time and quick, and my dentist is really professional and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for general dentistry or orthodontic/ cosmetic treatment.

Sophie Tucker

Ascent Dental is a very friendly & professional dentist. I started a teeth whitening journey in December with the process commencing a few weeks ago, with great results, I found that they are very attentive in making sure I am a happy with my final results. I’m now a full new patient of the dentist and for the first time, I’m not terrified to go to a dentist. Mandeep made me feel very relaxed and talked me through everything. Gursh was also very welcoming as well and made me feel like I was in great, trusted hands for something that was very new and out my comfort zone.

Anthony Hudson

Absolutely 100% for customer service, customer care, range of treatments and hygiene. Polite, friendly, clean and organised.

Nicola Hall

I had an emergency appointment today and Mandeep and Ellie were great at not only explaining what was happening with my tooth extraction but also keeping me calm as I was very nervous. The extraction its self was quick and in no way uncomfortable. I am very greatful to them both for putting me at ease and the being professional throughout the appointment

Hayley Watson

I was a very nervous patient and have tried various dentists. Mandeep was very understanding and talked me through my options for treatment. I thought I would need sedation for my root canal but I saw Jesal and he reassured me I would be fine without. And I was! All the staff are lovely and didn’t make me feel silly for being anxious. Alex and Felicia were very helpful. I feel like I can go to the dentist now for regular check ups instead of avoiding it. I’m very happy with the treatment I have had as it has saved me losing a tooth. I can highly recommend the team at Ascent, Loughborough

Kate Clarke

Jyoti and Alex made me feel really comfortable when having my composite bonding done and the results are amazing. I only wanted a subtle change to my teeth and a natural look, would highly recommend this practice.

Kevin Thurlow

Jes and the team were fantastic! I had multiple route canals. Overall lasted about 90 mins … minimal pain honestly I felt a tiny amount of pain for no more than 1 minute throughout. Jes and his assistant were very conscientious, I was numbed at the start and throughout was asked if was doing okay.
I was little nervous beforehand, but actually could have napped midway through !
The chilled out ibiza tunes in the background in the room made for an even more relaxing atmosphere
Dont delay, have a root canal with Jes and Co.

Georgia Garner

Full information given and efficiently sorted the problem

Rebeca Leggat

Amazing experience every time I’ve been. I was petrified of having my first root canal and was completely put at ease. No pain at all (genuinely!) and the aftercare was incredible. I’ve had a lot of dental treatment in the past and never had everything explained so thoroughly and clearly, never rushed through. Highly recommend!
