FAQs

Questions about fixed braces at Stella Dental

Who performs orthodontic treatment at Stella Dental?

Dr. Francesca Dash handles all orthodontic treatments at our Nottingham clinic, supported by a skilled and friendly team. With her background from the orthodontics department at Royal Stoke University Hospital, Dr. Dash provides exceptional care and boasts impressive success rates.

What should I do if a bracket or wire breaks?

Contact us as soon as possible to arrange a repair. In the meantime, try to avoid eating hard or sticky foods that could worsen the problem. We generally advise avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage the braces or get stuck in them. Soft foods and cut-up fruits and vegetables are usually better choices.

Can I play sports with fixed braces?

Yes, but it’s a good idea to wear a mouthguard to protect your braces and teeth from potential injury during contact sports.

How do I clean my teeth with fixed braces?

Brushing and flossing become more crucial with fixed braces. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean around the brackets and wires. Special flossing tools or interdental brushes can help clean between your teeth too. Our dentists and dental hygienist can provide advice and guidance on caring for your oral hygiene during and after your teeth straightening treatment.

How often do I need to visit the orthodontist with fixed braces?

Regular visits to Stella Dental are essential for adjusting your fixed braces and monitoring progress. Typically, you’ll need to see us every four to eight weeks.

How long does fixed brace treatment take?

The duration of fixed brace treatment can vary based on individual factors, which Dr. Francesca Dash will review during your free consultation at our Nottingham practice. Generally, you can expect treatment to last between six months and a year.

Are fixed braces as effective as clear aligners?

Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are the most advanced way to straighten teeth, offering great discretion and flexibility with their removable design. Fixed braces, meanwhile, bring their own unique benefits. Since they stay in place around the clock, they provide steady, gentle pressure that can work well for certain alignment needs. This consistent adjustment often leads to good progress, making fixed braces a reliable, cost-effective choice for many people. Both options are effective, each with strengths that suit different teeth straightening goals and lifestyles.
