What can be treated?
Fixed braces are a common orthodontic treatment used to improve the position and alignment of teeth. Fixed braces can be used to treat a variety of dental problems, including crowded and crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, and misalignments of the bite. In addition, fixed braces can also be used to treat more complex orthodontic issues such as malocclusions, which occur when the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly.
Fixed braces use brackets and wires to apply gentle pressure to the teeth and gradually move them into the correct position. Treatment time for fixed braces varies depending on the severity of the dental issue but generally takes between 12–24 months.
