FIXED BRACES

These consist of square-shaped individual blocks, called brackets, which are glued to the front of each tooth and metal rings, or bands, which fit over the back tooth. The brackets and bands are linked together with a fine wire. This wire is altered by the orthodontist at each visit and these three main components exert a force on the teeth. This gentle force causes the teeth to move over time, but does not damage them.


Ceramic brackets
blend with your teeth

Patients may choose either 'stainless steel' or specially designed 'ceramic' brackets which blend in with the natural colour of their teeth, making them far less noticeable.

Fixed Braces take about 6 - 18 months to work, with regular visits (usually 4 - 6 weeks apart) needed so that adjustments can be made.
