Fixed braces, also known as traditional braces, are a common orthodontic treatment used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. They consist of brackets bonded to the teeth and wires that exert gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. Despite the emergence of newer orthodontic options, fixed braces remain popular due to their effectiveness in treating a wide range of orthodontic problems. Next, we’ll explore the procedures involved, benefits, risks, and why Dentiva Clinic is the ideal choice for fixed braces treatment.
The orthodontist conducts a thorough examination of the teeth and jaws to assess the severity of misalignment and develop a customized treatment plan.
Small brackets made of metal or ceramic are bonded to the front surface of each tooth using dental adhesive. These brackets serve as anchors for the wires that will guide the movement of the teeth.
An archwire is threaded through the brackets and secured in place with elastic bands or ligatures. The orthodontist adjusts the tension of the wire to apply gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into proper alignment.
Patients visit the orthodontist periodically for adjustments to the wires and brackets. These adjustments help maintain progress and ensure that the teeth continue to move in the desired direction.
Patients are instructed on how to properly care for their braces, including oral hygiene practices and dietary restrictions to prevent damage to the braces.
Once the desired alignment is achieved, the braces are carefully removed, and any remaining adhesive is polished off the teeth. Patients may then be fitted with retainers to maintain their newly aligned smile.

Fixed braces may cause mild soreness for 3-5 days after they are first put on and after each adjustment appointment. Pain medication can provide relief. Discomfort usually subsides as your mouth gets used to the braces.
Treatment time with fixed braces ranges from 12-24 months depending on the severity of the teeth misalignment. The average treatment is around 18-24 months.
Yes, you can still play sports with fixed braces as long as you take precautions to reduce injury risk. Wear a mouthguard, avoid contact sports if possible, and see your orthodontist if braces become damaged.
Fixed braces may temporarily affect speech and cause a lisp for the first week or two as your mouth adjusts. Your speech should return to normal soon.
Avoid very hard, sticky, crunchy or chewy foods which could damage braces. Things like nuts, popcorn, hard candy, and chewing gum should be avoided.
Proper oral hygiene is extremely important with fixed braces. Brushing thoroughly after meals, flossing daily, and using supplementary tools to clean around braces are necessary. See your orthodontist regularly.
