Traditional fixed braces in Farnham – Elmsleigh House Dental ClinicAt Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic, our Specialist orthodontist, Kostas Spathoulas, offers a full range of orthodontic solutions tailored to your needs and lifestyle. While traditional fixed metal braces — commonly referred to as 'train-track braces' — have been used for decades to straighten teeth, they are now rarely required due to the rapid advancement in discreet, comfortable alternatives such as Invisalign, Spark and Angel Aligners.
Although traditional metal braces are no longer the first choice for most patients, we continue to include them as part of our comprehensive orthodontic solutions. Perhaps in a rare or specific orthodontic situation, fixed braces may be recommended or even chosen over other options; however, with advances in technology the clear aligner systems offer precise and complex tooth movement.
Kostas will always discuss the best orthodontic options for you or your child..
Today, the majority of our patients opt for clear aligner systems such as:
These innovative systems offer:
Virtually invisible appearance
Removable convenience for eating and oral hygiene
Enhanced comfort with no metal brackets or wires
Fewer appointments and faster treatment times in many cases
Clear aligners are now suitable for treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from mild to more complex cases, making them the preferred choice for adults, teens and children.
If fixed braces are the best solution for your unique dental situation, rest assured that today’s versions are more refined and effective than ever. Modern brackets are smaller, smoother and can even be made from ceramic for a more discreet look.
Your treatment will be:
Fully customised to your specific dental anatomy and goals
Supervised by Kostas Spathoulas, our Specialist with decades of orthodontic expertise
Delivered with the same care, precision and attention to detail we apply to all our advanced orthodontic treatments
Whether you’re considering clear aligners or exploring every option — including fixed braces — we’re here to help you make the most informed, confident decision for your or your child's smile.
