fixed braces
Book an AppointmnetFixed braces are one of the most trusted and effective orthodontic solutions. They work by using a system of small brackets that are securely attached to each tooth. These brackets are linked by a thin metal archwire, which applies gentle, consistent pressure to gradually guide the teeth into their correct positions over time.
Elastic bands (often called ligatures) are sometimes used to hold the wire in place and can come in a variety of colours — making treatment a little more fun, especially for younger patients.
