Fixed Braces

Delivering world class Dental care

Fixed braces, also known as traditional braces or metal braces, are a type of orthodontic treatment used to straighten and align teeth. They consist of metal brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth using dental cement.
The brackets are connected by a wire that applies tension to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position over time. The braces are called “fixed” because they are not removable and must be adjusted by an orthodontist during regular appointments.
The process of fixed braces typically involves the following steps:

Initial consultation

The orthodontist will examine your teeth and take X-rays to determine if you are a good candidate for fixed braces. They will also discuss your treatment options and explain the process to you.

Placement of braces

The orthodontist will place brackets on your teeth and attach them with dental cement. The brackets are connected with a wire that applies tension to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.

Adjustments

The orthodontist will periodically adjust the wire and brackets to continue moving your teeth. These appointments typically occur every 4-8 weeks.

Wearing elastics

The orthodontist may also ask the patient to wear elastics (small rubber bands) to help move your teeth into the desired position.

Retention

After the braces are removed, the orthodontist will give the patient a retainer to wear to help keep the teeth in their new position.

Follow-up visits

The orthodontist will schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

They are the most common type of braces used for orthodontic treatment and are suitable for people of all ages. They are efficient for treating a variety of orthodontic issues such as overbite, underbite, crowded teeth, and misaligned teeth.
