Fixed Braces at Lilac Medical Centre: Timeless Precision for a Straighter Smile

Fixed braces remain one of the most trusted forms of orthodontic treatment, offering reliable results for children, teens, and adults seeking to correct crooked and misaligned teeth, as well as a range of bite issues. Lilac Medical Centre offers metal, ceramic, and self-ligating braces to help clients achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

 

Whether you’re addressing mild or more severe cases of overcrowding, we create a personalised treatment plan following a detailed orthodontic consultation. Fixed braces remain one of the most effective ways to straighten front teeth, align lower teeth, and improve oral health by creating properly aligned teeth that are easier to clean and maintain.

Durable Materials for Reliable Results

Fixed braces are designed to correct a wide variety of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing problems, overbite, underbite, deep bite, and crossbite. Using durable metal, tooth-coloured ceramic, or advanced systems with built-in friction-reducing mechanisms, these brackets are securely attached to your teeth and connected with a metal wire or thicker wires.

 

Fixed braces apply gentle pressure to support natural tooth movement, guiding the teeth into their desired position with precision and control. Some clients may experience discomfort at the beginning or during tightening, but this is temporary and ensures that the teeth move to their new positions.

 

Because braces work continuously, clients can see improvements in just a few months, though full treatment time varies depending on the case. Follow your orthodontist’s instructions, from avoiding hard foods and fizzy drinks to using interproximal brushes, to help protect your teeth and gums and prevent issues like tooth decay, cavities, or gum disease during treatment.

FAQs

Fixed braces are orthodontic appliances that are bonded to your teeth to correct alignment and bite issues over time. They use brackets connected by a wire that is gradually adjusted to move teeth into position. At Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, fixed braces are available in metal and ceramic options and are planned by a specialist orthodontist.
Metal braces use stainless steel brackets, while ceramic braces use tooth coloured or clear brackets that blend in with your teeth. Both work in a similar way to move teeth, but ceramic braces are typically less visible. A specialist orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre can help you decide which option may suit your needs.
Fixed braces may suit adults and teenagers who have crowding, gaps, or bite problems that need correcting. They can address a wide range of alignment issues, including complex cases. Suitability is assessed during a consultation with a specialist orthodontist, who will examine your teeth and discuss whether fixed braces are appropriate for you.
Fixed braces do not usually hurt, though you may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after they are fitted or adjusted. This is a normal sign the teeth are moving. Any discomfort is typically temporary and can be eased with over the counter pain relief and soft foods.
Treatment with fixed braces typically takes between 12 and 24 months, though this varies depending on the complexity of your case. Some minor corrections may take less time, while more involved cases can take longer. Your specialist orthodontist will give you an estimated timeline after assessing your teeth during a consultation.
The cost of braces in Abu Dhabi depends on several factors, including the type of braces, the complexity of your case, and the length of treatment. Because every case differs, a personalised quote is provided after a consultation. Some insurance plans may contribute towards orthodontic treatment, so it is worth confirming your coverage.
Some insurance plans may cover part of the cost of fixed braces, though coverage varies by provider and policy. Lilac Medical Centre works with several insurers, including Daman, Thiqa, AXA, and Cigna. We recommend confirming your orthodontic coverage directly with your insurer before starting treatment.
Caring for fixed braces involves brushing carefully after meals, cleaning around the brackets and wires, and using interdental brushes or floss designed for braces. Regular dental check ups and orthodontic adjustments are also important. Good oral hygiene can help reduce the risk of decay and keep your treatment on track.
With fixed braces, it is best to eat softer foods and avoid hard, sticky, or chewy items that could damage the brackets or wires. Foods such as toffee, hard nuts, and chewing gum are best avoided. Cutting food into smaller pieces can also help protect your braces during treatment.
Results from fixed braces can last many years when you follow your orthodontist’s aftercare advice, which usually includes wearing a retainer. Teeth can gradually shift over time without retention, so wearing your retainer as directed is important. Your specialist orthodontist will explain how to help maintain your results long term.
Fixed braces are generally safe, though possible side effects can include mild discomfort, temporary difficulty eating, and minor irritation of the cheeks or gums. In some cases, poor oral hygiene during treatment may lead to decay or gum problems. Your specialist orthodontist will discuss any risks relevant to your case beforehand.
Alternatives to fixed braces can include clear aligners, such as Invisalign, which use removable transparent trays instead of brackets and wires. The most suitable option depends on your alignment needs and lifestyle. A specialist orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre can assess your teeth and explain which treatments may be appropriate for you.
Yes, adults can get fixed braces, and there is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment as long as the teeth and gums are healthy. Many adults choose braces to correct alignment or bite issues. A specialist orthodontist will assess your oral health to confirm whether fixed braces are suitable for you.
Braces actively move teeth into position during treatment, while a retainer holds teeth in place after braces are removed. Retainers help prevent teeth from shifting back once alignment is complete. Wearing a retainer as directed by your orthodontist is an important part of maintaining your results after treatment with fixed braces.
