What Is Fixed Metal Braces?
Fixed Metal Braces is a well-established orthodontic treatment designed to gradually move teeth into proper alignment and improve the overall bite. This system consists of small stainless-steel brackets that are bonded to the surface of each tooth and connected with a thin archwire. The wire is secured in place using elastic bands, which come in different colours for a touch of personalization. The braces work continuously to guide teeth into the correct position, helping to correct misalignments such as teeth crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities in a controlled and predictable manner.
The constant, gentle pressure applied by the archwire ensures steady tooth movement, making this treatment suitable for various cases, from mild adjustments to severe misalignments. Modern designs have made metal braces smaller and more comfortable, allowing treatment to progress effectively while maintaining a more refined appearance compared to earlier versions.
In addition to improving dental alignment, Fixed Metal Braces also contribute to better oral function and overall facial balance. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting bite issues enhances chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and jaw comfort. Beyond functional improvement, this treatment helps create a more harmonious and confident smile that can positively influence self-esteem and long-term dental health.
How It Works
Fixed Metal Braces begins with a consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic. During this initial appointment, a detailed assessment of the teeth, gums, and bite alignment is carried out. Diagnostic records such as X-rays, and dental impressions are taken to design a customized treatment plan.
The treatment continues with the careful placement of the metal brackets onto the surface of each tooth using a dental adhesive. Once the brackets are securely bonded, an archwire is threaded through them and held in place with small elastic bands. The entire fitting typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of teeth involved. The dentist then checks the wire tension to ensure even pressure across the dental arch. This gentle and consistent pressure is what gradually moves the teeth into their proper positions over time.
During the adjustment period, minor discomfort or tightness may be experienced for 2 to 3 days, which is a normal part of the tooth movement process. There is no major downtime, and normal daily activities can be continued immediately after the appointment. As treatment progresses, noticeable improvements in tooth alignment, bite function, and smile appearance begin to appear. Once the desired alignment is achieved, the braces are removed, and a retainer is fitted to maintain the new tooth position. The outcome provides lasting benefits, including improved oral health, easier cleaning, balanced bite, and enhanced confidence from a well-aligned smile.
