DON’T WAIT – CALL US. We will be happy to see you the SAME DAY and help ease your problem.
At Orthodontics Manchester, we offer top-quality yet affordable metal wire braces for patients in Handforth, Cheadle and surrounding South Manchester areas. Our highly trained orthodontists specialise in traditional fixed braces, and are skilled at providing reliable and effective teeth-straightening treatment for children, teens and adults.
Traditional metal braces — often simply called metal wire braces — are made of small, strong stainless-steel brackets that are bonded directly to the front of your teeth. An archwire is threaded through each bracket, which is secured with small elastic bands. Our braces are made with tiny elastic bands in many colours so you can choose a style that suits you.
Fixed braces are still one of the most effective and affordable orthodontic treatments available today, even with the rise in popularity of clear aligners. Our metal wire braces cost from £1,000 at our handforth clinic.
At Orthodontics Manchester, we recommend fixed braces who want fast, precise, and long-lasting results.

Treatment time depends on how far your teeth need to move. Most courses of treatment with fixed metal braces take between 12 and 24 months, and your orthodontist will give you an estimated timeline at your consultation.
You may feel some pressure or tenderness for a few days after your braces are fitted and after each adjustment. This usually settles quickly, and orthodontic wax can help if the brackets rub against your cheeks or lips.
Avoid hard, sticky and chewy foods such as toffee, boiled sweets, crusty bread and whole apples, as these can break brackets or bend the wire. Cutting food into small pieces makes eating easier.
Brushing and flossing are crucial. Use a soft-bristle brush and floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean around wires and brackets, and keep up regular dental check-ups throughout your treatment.
Metal braces at Orthodontics Manchester start from £1,000. The exact cost depends on your individual treatment plan, which we will explain at your consultation. Payment plans are available.
