Fixed braces

Serving patients throughout Emsworth, Hayling Island and Havant

Fixed braces have been a popular straightening teeth solution for decades because of their effective and predictable results. Whilst they are suitable for treating simple cases, for some complex orthodontic problems there’s still no competition for traditional fixed braces.

What’s involved?

With a fixed solution, our teeth straightening dentist, Stephen McCrory will carefully bond brackets to your teeth, before joining them together with a wire which gradually aligns your teeth into a straighter position. You’ll need to see Stephen every 6 to 8 weeks to change your wire and check on progress.

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile. Stephen will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

Bold or discreet… your fixed braces options:

Metal braces and wires

The classic, most recognisable brace. Following recent advances in technology, our fixed metal braces at Envisage Dental Emsworth now use low profile brackets and wires for added comfort.

Clear braces

Often referred to as ceramic braces, tooth coloured braces or invisible braces, our clear braces at Envisage Dental Emsworth use clear brackets and tooth coloured wires for added discretion. They get the same great results as conventional metal braces – but they’re much harder to spot.

3 simple steps to a beautifully aligned smile:

  1. Consultation and planning
    After an initial consultation Stephen will take photos, X-rays and a dental impression of your teeth. These records will take precise measurements to make your personal brackets and wires.
  2. Transformation
    Once your brackets and wires are ready, Stephen will fit them ensuring they are comfortable, so you can begin your straightening journey.

    You’ll need to return to see Stephen every 6 to 8 weeks to check on your progress and change your wire, to slowly guide your teeth into position.
  3. Retaining your new smile
    Once your new smile is achieved, you’ll need to wear a retainer to ensure your teeth remain beautifully aligned. Retainers can either be removable clear trays, similar to a mouth guard, or a fixed retainer which are discreetly attached to the back of the teeth for continual support.

If you are looking for fixed braces or clear braces in Emsworth, Hayling Island and Havant and want to know more about your options, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Envisage Dental Emsworth.

Easily scheduled. Polite, friendly hygeinist who asked about any problems with nervousness and teeth sensitivity before starting cleaning my teeth

Had an amazing first visit to envisage today. I hadnt been to a dentist in over 10 years so was a bit apprehensive. From being greeted by the ladies at reception to meeting my new dentist I felt very well looked after. I felt my concerns were listened to, and didn't feel at all rushed. I received emergency treatment on the day and have a dental treatment plan going forward which was explained to me in depth. Costs were clear and very reasonable. Booking my next appointment was easy with flexible days and times to suit my schedule. They are also available to chat regarding any general enquiries via social media and WhatsApp which is very convenient when you work long days like myself. Overall, I am very impressed with all the staff at envisage. I would recommend envisage to anyone looking for a new dental practice, especially if you are a nervous patient. Thank you celethe and the amazing receptionists for your 5 star service!

My family and I have been patients at this practice for 16 years, and the consistently excellent care keeps us coming back. From the moment you walk through the door, the reception team set the tone — they are warm, welcoming, and always professional. They truly make every visit feel effortless. Stephen, my dentist, is exceptional. He takes the time to understand your full medical picture and explains every step of the treatment clearly and patiently. His thoroughness and calming approach give total confidence that you’re in the best hands. The hygienist, Tara, is equally fantastic. She has a lovely manner, instantly puts you at ease, and provides care that is both gentle and highly effective. The practice also offers flexible opening hours, which makes scheduling appointments incredibly convenient — and impressively, they always run on time. After 16 years, we couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommended for anyone looking for first‑class dental care.

Feel they listen to my problems and understand my needs

I recently changed to Envisage Dental after poor levels of service from my previous dentist in Emsworth. It was quite by chance my wife and I visited Envisage and booked our appointments. All I can say is what a contrast to the level of service previously experienced. In my case, my dentist (Stephen McCrory) took time and listened, then gave me a thorough examination and explained what treatment was necessary even to make good poor treatment. The key factor in my case was the thoroughness and time taken to explain so that I could clearly understand, as opposed to feeling rushed and just another patient. Another aspect is the updated technology and techniques, where photos of each tooth were taken to show you on screen. So, in summary, I have trust and faith in Stephen and his team and Envisage and I will be open and critical when necessary. I conclude I have made a good move in my case and I have respect and trust in the care and treatment I am receiving through Envisage. I highly recommend you give them consideration for your dental treatment.

Arrived early for my appointment but was seen straight away as previous patient was a no show. New equipment in place and was explained very clearly by Tara who is always a lovely and positive young lady.

Tried a new treatment which is so much better

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but I felt like my fellow nervous patients deserved the truth: I survived. Stephen made me feel so comfortable that I didn’t need to be sedated for treatment. He’s calm and patient, as was his assistant and the receptionists. I would 100% recommend Stephen to anyone that fears the dentist and would like to overcome that fear.

As someone who isn't a lover of the dentist/hygienist, going to a new one is always a concern. However, even given I need treatment for a problem, the staff on the front desk and the dentist and hygienist seriously could not have been better. They make you feel welcome, try and make everything comfortable, offer music of choice which I think is brilliant, explain everything (and being told you're 2/3 of the way through a filling is actualy a really good thing, you know you're nearly done) and just try to make it as positive, fun and easy as possible. Would highly recommend to anyone

Our whole family have been attending this dental practice for around 15 years (maybe even longer!). They are amazing with everything from routine appointments with the dentist, dental hygienist appointments to dental procedures. They are excellent at dealing with anxious patients, including little ones. Our dentist is so knowledgeable, up to date and such a lovely person. The receptionists are lovely and always helpful. I recommend them to everyone I know, and I can't praise them highly enough. Thank you for looking after our family for all these years.
