Fixed braces, also known as traditional braces, are a widely used orthodontic treatment designed to correct misaligned teeth and improve overall dental health. These braces consist of metal brackets that are affixed to each tooth and connected by wires. The gradual application of pressure through these wires helps shift teeth into their optimal positions over time. Fixed braces are effective in addressing various dental issues, such as overcrowding, spacing irregularities, and bite alignment problems. They provide a stable and controlled method for straightening teeth, ensuring a well-aligned and functional smile. While there are other orthodontic options available, fixed braces remain a popular choice due to their reliability and versatility in treating a wide range of dental concerns. Regular adjustments by orthodontic professionals help guide the teeth into their desired positions, leading to improved oral aesthetics and long-term dental well-being.
