Fixed Orthodontics

Fixed orthodontics refers to a method of dental treatment that uses braces to correct misaligned teeth, bite issues, and other dental imperfections. Unlike removable appliances, fixed orthodontic devices are securely attached to the teeth and are designed to be worn for an extended period until the desired result is achieved.

What is Fixed Orthodontics?
Fixed orthodontic treatment involves the use of metal or ceramic braces, consisting of brackets, wires, and bands that are permanently attached to the teeth. These components work together to gradually shift the teeth into their correct position. Fixed braces are most commonly used to correct overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and crooked teeth.

Who Benefits from Fixed Orthodontics?
Fixed orthodontic treatments are ideal for individuals with:

  • Crowded or crooked teeth: When teeth are misaligned and overlap, braces can create space and improve appearance.

  • Bite issues: Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites can be corrected using braces to restore proper function.

  • Teeth gaps: Fixed braces help close gaps between teeth, improving both functionality and aesthetics.

  • Teeth alignment: People who want to improve the overall alignment of their teeth for both functional and cosmetic reasons.

Types of Fixed Orthodontics

  1. Traditional Metal Braces: The most common type, made of stainless steel, offering high durability and effectiveness.

  2. Ceramic Braces: These work similarly to metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored materials to blend with the teeth, making them less noticeable.

  3. Lingual Braces: Attached to the back of the teeth, making them less visible, suitable for those who prefer a more discreet treatment.

  4. Self-Ligating Braces: These braces use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands, which can reduce friction and improve comfort.

Benefits of Fixed Orthodontics

  • Effective treatment for complex cases: Fixed braces are ideal for correcting severe misalignment, bite problems, and teeth that need significant movement.

  • Long-lasting results: Once treatment is completed, fixed braces help maintain the position of your teeth with permanent results.

  • Boost in self-confidence: Fixed orthodontics not only improves oral function but also enhances the appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence.

  • Comprehensive treatment: The fixed nature of braces ensures continuous, controlled movement of the teeth for the best possible alignment.
