Fixed Braces
Fixed Braces are a traditional and highly effective orthodontic treatment used to correct misaligned teeth, gaps, overcrowding, and bite issues. These braces consist of small brackets attached to the front surface of the teeth and connected with a thin archwire. The wire applies gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move the teeth into their correct position over time.
Fixed braces are suitable for patients of all ages and are commonly recommended for moderate to complex orthodontic problems. The braces remain attached to the teeth throughout the treatment period and are adjusted regularly by the orthodontist to ensure proper alignment and progress.
This treatment not only improves the appearance of your smile but also helps enhance oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of dental problems caused by misalignment.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Corrects Complex Alignment Issues: Effective for severe crowding, gaps, and bite problems.
- Continuous Treatment: Since braces are fixed, they work continuously without needing removal.
- Improves Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain.
- Long-Lasting Results: Provides stable and reliable teeth alignment.
Care Tips After Treatments
- Brush After Every Meal: Maintain excellent oral hygiene around brackets and wires.
- Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: Prevent damage to braces.
- Use Orthodontic Wax if Needed: Helps reduce irritation to cheeks or lips.
- Attend Regular Orthodontic Visits: Necessary for adjustments and monitoring progress.
