Fixed Braces
Orthodontic treatment changes structural alignment and functional relationships. Stability develops over time as the system adapts.
Fixed braces are a comprehensive orthodontic treatment that uses bonded brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues, improving function, stability, and long-term oral health.
Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with a specialized wire that applies controlled, continuous pressure. Periodic adjustments guide teeth into improved alignment and bite balance over time.
Fixed braces help straighten teeth, correct bite imbalances, improve chewing function, and enhance smile aesthetics while supporting long-term stability and overall oral health. Additionally, our specialized diagnostics ensure every treatment plan is airway-protective and TMJ-directed for comprehensive, functional results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Typical Experience
Treatment begins with digital imaging and personalized planning. Brackets are bonded to the teeth and adjusted periodically to guide movement. You'll attend regular visits for wire changes and progress checks as your teeth gradually shift into improved alignment and bite stability.
How long it takes
Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with a specialized wire that applies controlled, continuous pressure. Periodic adjustments guide teeth into improved alignment and bite balance over time.
Keep in Mind
Excellent oral hygiene is essential while wearing braces to prevent plaque buildup around brackets. Avoid hard or sticky foods that may damage appliances, and attend regular adjustment visits to maintain steady progress.
Recovery
Mild soreness is common after braces are placed or adjusted and usually resolves within a few days. Soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief can improve comfort as teeth adapt to movement.
