A fixed brace is an orthodontic appliance which cannot be removed from the mouth by the patient. Fixed braces are one of the most effective ways of straightening teeth. They can be used in combination with removable or functional braces.
types of fixed appliances…
metal brackets
Stainless steel metal brackets are easily recognised and are widely used in the treatment of patients in all age groups. You can choose to have low profile, mini-metal brackets which can be decorated with coloured ligatures or modules to provide individuality and make them aesthetically pleasing.
ceramic brackets
Attractive, translucent or tooth coloured, aesthetic fixed brackets appeal to patients in view of their less obtrusive appearance. These are made from a ceramic material and differ from plastic (polycarbonate) brackets in terms of the superior durability, colour stability, strength and overall performance throughout the treatment.
Fixed braces can be made “totally white” by utilising ceramic brackets, white or tooth coloured arch wires and non-staining ligature wires. This means that your appliance is less visible!
self-ligating brackets
These are fixed braces which function without ligatures and modules. These braces are designed to help the teeth move in fewer adjustment visits. The absence of modules and ligatures eliminates the hassle of staining.
