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.
