Fixed Braces in Idle

Fixed braces have stood the test of time and remain a reliable option for teeth straightening in orthodontics.

They have come a long way from their bulky designs to more usable and effective features. Modern teeth straightening with braces is custom-made for you and combines precision and efficiency to transform your smile.

Whether you are dealing with crooked teeth, gaps, or bite problems, fixed braces in Idle could be a good solution you’ve been looking for.

What are fixed braces?

Fixed braces are made up of tiny metallic or ceramic fixtures known as brackets, which are attached to the surface of your teeth and connected by metallic wires known as archwires. Braces gently apply pressure to guide your teeth into the proper positions over time.

Modern fixed braces for teeth alignment are smaller, lighter, constructed of various tooth-coloured materials, and more comfortable than ever before.

They are available in both traditional metal and less noticeable ceramic options and provide effective treatment for even the most complex orthodontic cases.

Why choose fixed braces?

Fixed braces are an effective orthodontic solution and for good reasons. Here’s why:

Fixed braces are independent of patient compliance

Teeth straightening with braces does not depend on your eating or brushing habits. As fixed options, they continue to exert force on the teeth throughout the day. There is no chance of losing or forgetting to wear them.

Works for all ages

Are you looking for fixed braces for children? Then fixed braces are ideal for you. They apply to children, teenagers, and adults alike. It is never too late or early to get the smile you have always wanted, regardless of your age.

Durability

Fixed braces are made of durable materials that can withstand a variety of dental adjustments without breaking.

Precision and control

Fixed braces provide unparalleled precision, making them the optimal choice for treating complex cases such as severe crowding, spacing, or misaligned bites.

Customisable options

Today’s fixed braces are not only functional; they are also customisable. Ceramic braces, for example, use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your natural teeth.

Types of fixed braces

Traditional Metal Braces: These orthodontic fixed braces offer solutions to a diverse range of teeth misalignment and bite issues. They consist of the following components:

Each tooth has small metal brackets attached to it.
Metal bands encircle the back molars.
An archwire connects the brackets and applies the pressure required to move the teeth.
Elastics or rubber bands to add force to specific adjustments.

Ceramic Braces: Integral to clear fixed braces options, ceramic braces align and correct teeth in the same way that traditional metal braces do, but they have an added aesthetic appeal.
Brackets: Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable.
Wires: They use metal wires similar to traditional braces, but these wires are less visible, making them more discreet. Ceramic braces provide a visually appealing alternative to traditional metal braces while maintaining their effectiveness.

Lingual Braces: These look the same as traditional braces but are placed on the back of teeth, making them invisible from the front.

Self-Ligating Braces: The archwire in this case is held in place using a unique mechanism, potentially reducing the need for elastic bands and reducing treatment time. Damon Braces is the most popular self-ligating system available today.

Damon braces, unlike regular braces, have unique channels to hold the archwire, reducing pressure on teeth and making the process less painful. They work faster with less friction and fewer tight spots, and come in both metal and clear options, making them versatile.
