Fixed Braces

Fixed braces, often called traditional braces, are one of the most popular and effective ways to straighten teeth and correct jaw alignment. They use small metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to your teeth and connected by wires, which gently guide your teeth into the correct position over time.

Why Choose Fixed Braces?

Fixed braces are a great option if you have:
– Crooked or crowded teeth
– Gaps between your teeth
– Bite problems, such as an overbite, underbite, or cross bite

They can correct both mild and complex cases.
Since they stay on your teeth throughout treatment, fixed braces provide continuous pressure, ensuring that your teeth move exactly as planned.

Fixed braces are known for delivering long-lasting, reliable results. Once your treatment is complete, your teeth should stay in their new positions, especially with proper follow-up care.

Nowadays braces are more customisable, you can choose between traditional metal brackets or more discreet ceramic options. There are even braces that can be placed behind the teeth (lingual braces) for a more invisible look.

Are Fixed Braces Right for You?

Fixed braces are ideal if you’re looking for a dependable, tried-and-tested method to correct your teeth. They can handle even the most complex dental issues and deliver the precision and results that patients love.

Invisalign

If you’re looking to straighten your teeth but want a more discreet option than traditional braces, Invisalign might be the perfect fit. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. These aligners are custom-made for your teeth and are nearly invisible when worn.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are made from medical grade plastic, making them a great choice if you want to straighten your teeth without noticeable braces. Most people won’t even realise you’re wearing them!

One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. This means you can take them out when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing for more flexibility and easier oral hygiene compared to fixed braces.

Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic and don’t have metal brackets or wires, making them more comfortable. They’re less likely to cause irritation to your gums and cheeks.

Your Invisalign aligners are specifically designed for your teeth, using advanced 3D technology to map out the movements needed to achieve a perfect smile. You’ll receive a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift.

Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign is a great option for many mild to moderate cases of:
– Crowded teeth
– Gaps between teeth
– Mild bite issues (overbite, underbite)

However, if your case is more complex, fixed braces may be more effective.

If you want a nearly invisible and convenient solution for a straighter smile, Invisalign could be the perfect choice. Schedule a FREE consultation today with our TCO.
