Fixed braces use brackets and wires attached to the teeth to gradually move them into their desired positions. They are a trusted orthodontic treatment for correcting crowded teeth, gaps and a range of bite and alignment concerns, providing controlled and predictable tooth movement.
Your treatment will be carefully planned around your individual orthodontic needs. Fixed braces remain in place throughout treatment, allowing continuous tooth movement without the need to remember to wear or remove aligners. Your dentist or orthodontist will monitor your progress and make adjustments as required.
