Fixed Braces (Orthodontics)

Fixed braces use brackets bonded to the teeth and a connecting wire to correct crowding, spacing and bite problems that may be beyond the scope of aligners. Medent offers a range from standard metal braces to more discreet aesthetic and ceramic options and modern self-ligating systems. The orthodontist plans treatment from models and imaging and reviews progress at regular adjustment visits, with retainers afterwards to hold the corrected position.

Fixed orthodontic braces remain one of the most effective and versatile ways to correct a wide range of alignment and bite issues, including more complex cases that clear aligners may not fully address. Small brackets are bonded to each tooth and linked by an archwire; by adjusting that wire over time, the orthodontist applies steady, controlled forces that guide the teeth and roots into their planned positions and improve how the upper and lower teeth meet. At Medent treatment starts with an orthodontic consultation and a diagnostic work-up of models, scans and X-rays so that a precise plan can be drawn up. The clinic offers several bracket types to balance appearance, performance and budget: traditional metal braces, which are robust and efficient; aesthetic rhodium-coated and crystalline (ceramic) braces, which blend in more discreetly; and self-ligating Pitts Pro braces, a modern low-friction system. Per-arch pricing lets you treat one or both jaws as needed, and the practice also provides partial appliances and a range of supporting devices for specific situations. Throughout treatment you attend regular adjustment visits so the orthodontist can progress the wires and monitor movement; good oral hygiene around the brackets is important to keep teeth and gums healthy. When the teeth have reached their final position the braces are removed and a retention phase begins, using fixed or removable retainers to maintain the result. The orthodontist explains the expected duration, the recommended bracket type and the overall cost at the planning stage.
