Fixed Braces
Effective Solutions for Teeth Alignment
About the Treatment
We offer fixed braces as a reliable orthodontic solution to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Fixed braces, commonly known as “train track braces,” consist of metal brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by archwires . This system applies continuous pressure to move teeth into their desired positions, effectively treating various dental issues such as overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignments. Our experienced orthodontic team provides comprehensive consultations to assess individual needs and develop personalized treatment plans. We utilize modern technology, including digital X-rays and intraoral scanners, to ensure precise and comfortable treatment . Fixed braces are suitable for patients of all ages seeking long-term dental health and aesthetic improvements.
How It Works
The treatment begins with a thorough examination and digital imaging to design a customized plan. Small metal brackets are then attached to the front of each tooth using dental cement. These brackets are connected by a thin archwire, which applies gentle, continuous pressure to guide teeth into proper alignment over time . Patients visit our Sheffield practice every 6 to 10 weeks for adjustments, where the orthodontist tightens or replaces the archwire to maintain effective tooth movement. The duration of treatment varies depending on individual cases but typically ranges from 12 to 24 months.
