The term ‘fixed braces’ may fill you with fear and images of chunky, unsightly braces, but this is no longer the case. If you are in need of orthodontic treatment for teeth straightening, Dublin18 Dental Care near Stillorgan provides a host of impressive treatments that can give you a beautiful, straight smile.

Why would I need fixed braces?

The world of orthodontics has advanced greatly in recent years and patients are now able to choose from a plethora of treatments. These include the likes of invisible braces, removable orthodontic appliances and other innovative devices. However, the fixed brace system remains an incredibly effective treatment for patients with moderate or severe orthodontic problems.

Fixed braces are a versatile treatment which can achieve a great deal of movement. This type of orthodontic appliance has been used for many years and its status is based on results. Fixed braces can correct a number of dental irregularities, including crowded teeth, gaps between the teeth, problems relating to bite and twisted and crooked teeth.

Benefits of fixed braces

Fixed braces may not be as aesthetically pleasing as some of the newer treatments, such as invisible aligners, 6 month smiles or the Inman aligner, but they have a proven track record of providing results. They are also suitable for a wider range of teeth straightening issues, able to handle the most complex orthodontic prescriptions. They do take a little getting used to and you may grumble about them every now and then, but for effective results there are none much better. And once they are removed you can enjoy a beautiful, straight smile.

At Dublin18 Dental Care we provide fixed braces to correct a range of orthodontic problems. Patients can also choose to use Clearstep and we offer bonded retainers.
