WHY FIXED BRACES
Some movements benefit from fixed control.
Fixed appliances are attached to the teeth throughout treatment, allowing the orthodontic team to control tooth movement without relying on the patient to insert and remove aligners. They can be particularly useful for more complex movements.
- Continuous appliance wear
- Precise tooth-movement control
- Suitable for many complex orthodontic problems
- Ceramic options can reduce visual prominence
FIXED OR CLEAR ALIGNERS?
Choose the appliance around the case.
Invisalign can be an excellent option for many patients, while fixed braces may be preferable for certain rotations, root movements, bite corrections or situations where removable-appliance compliance is a concern.
THE PROCESS
Diagnosis first. Appliance second.
Orthodontic planning starts with clinical assessment and records. Digital scans, photographs and radiographs may be used where indicated before the treatment objective and appliance are agreed.
- 01 — Orthodontic assessment
- 02 — Records and digital planning
- 03 — Discuss appliance options
- 04 — Fit the brace and review regularly
- 05 — Finish, detail and retain
AFTER TREATMENT
Straight teeth still need retention.
Teeth can move after orthodontic treatment, so retainers are a core part of maintaining the result. Your orthodontic team will explain the recommended retention plan and review schedule.
