Fixed Braces

For patients who prefer traditional braces or may struggle with aligner compliance, we offer fixed braces. However, this option requires more rigorous oral hygiene, more frequent visits, some dietary restrictions, and provides a less aesthetic solution overall
For patients who find it difficult to maintain compliance with removable aligners or prefer a more traditional approach, we also offer fixed braces. However, this option comes with certain challenges that patients should be aware of. Fixed braces require a more rigorous oral hygiene routine due to the difficulty of cleaning around brackets and wires, which can lead to plaque buildup and potential gum issues if not properly managed.

Additionally, patients with fixed braces will need more frequent visits for adjustments and monitoring, often every 6 to 8 weeks.

Certain foods, like sticky or hard items, must be avoided throughout the treatment to prevent damage to the brackets or wires.

Compared to clear aligners like Invisalign, fixed braces are less discreet and may impact self-confidence, especially in social or professional settings. While fixed braces remain an effective method of treatment, advancements in orthodontics, such as Invisalign, now offer a more aesthetic, comfortable, and flexible alternative for most patients—without the need for dietary restrictions or frequent office visits. Both options are priced similarly, but Invisalign tends to be preferred by patients seeking convenience and a nearly invisible treatment.
