Fixed Braces

Fixed Braces

Fixed braces, often also referred to as traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces. For many years they had a reputation for being uncomfortable and cumbersome. Today’s braces are more comfortable than ever before.
Made using high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. Today’s brackets are much smaller and less noticeable than the notorious “metal-mouth” braces than many adults remember.

What are fixed braces?

Get results you love

Fixed braces are often referred to as ‘train track’ braces. The orthodontist attaches metal or tooth-coloured brackets to the teeth that are being realigned. The next step is to run a special wire over the brackets to pull the teeth into the right position.

Because the brackets are adhered to the teeth, patients won’t be able to take the braces off during the course of treatment.

Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces. They have tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with the natural colour of the teeth. The primary difference between ceramic and traditional braces relates to the type of orthodontic brackets that are bonded to the patient’s teeth. With ceramic braces, the brackets are clear or tooth-coloured, not metal.

With both methods, there’s still a metal wire that runs across the patient’s teeth and is held in place using elastic bands.

This difference in the colour of the brackets really does help to make it less obvious to others that a person is wearing braces, especially from a distance.

What conditions can fixed braces treat?

Orthodontic solutions are needed when patients have a need to improve the overall appearance and functionality of their teeth. Teeth braces can treat crooked or crowded teeth, under bites, overbites, and gaps between teeth.

Orthodontic treatments can also be used to treat more serious concerns like disorders of the jaw joins and incorrect jaw positioning.

The best way to determine which solution is best to meet your unique dental and orthodontic needs is to discuss your oral health with your orthodontist at your consultation.

What are some other teeth straightening solutions?

Traditional fixed braces remain the most popular in orthodontic solutions. There are several other options available to patients looking to get that beautiful straight smile.

  • The Invisalign tray system is an option for those looking for a more gradual and graduated solution to straightening teeth.
  • This orthodontic solution is a much more discreet solution for patients who perhaps aren’t all that enthused about having very visible braces for more than a year at a time.
What is the procedure for getting fixed braces?
Prior to being fitted with your braces your dentist will need to ensure that your teeth are in good healthy shape. This could mean taking care of any fillings that are needed, performing root canal therapy or extracting teeth that have otherwise been contributing to overcrowding in the mouth. Once this has been taken care of, you’ll be ready for the braces to be affixed to your teeth. The entire procedure should take just one visit and you’ll be able to resume your day. Those who have new metal or ceramic braces are encouraged to alter their diet temporarily. There should be no pain during the procedure and there should be no pain once the braces are in place. There may however be a little bit of sensitivity and tenderness as patients adjust to the sensation of the new braces. Adjusting a diet to include softer foods can also help to ensure that the tenderness is minimised.

    Great dentists and friendly staff! I had bone augmentation, 2 implants and 3 crowns done. The whole process took about a year due to the complexity but it certainly was worth it. I am delighted with the results and will happily recommend the clinic to my friends and family.

    Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

    Done, two teeth filling here. Second one they had to redo because of their fault. During that second time I had to ask to stop drilling several times, because my jaw started uncontrollable spasms. After this rework pain became unstoppable and I had to remove nerves during vacation (spent 3 days for that). That doctor admitted that both fillings were made without the cofferdam, for cavities under them to grow and need to be redone. Also they've missed a big smelly cavity next to that tooth even while having 3!!! X-rays of that area. I don't recommend doing fillings there, because you will need to return soon for their upsale of veneer or expensive nerve removal. Also they are not cheap by any means.

    I went for a check up at Crown Dental two weeks ago, after looking at my teeth for approximately 30 seconds the dentist told me I had been grinding my teeth therefore needing a mouthguard/splint and had three cavities. I was shocked as I had no prior issues with my teeth and was not experiencing any sensitivity. I was very distressed that my teeth had deteriorated so rapidly I wanted to get a second opinion. I went to a different dentist in Dublin and I was told my teeth were 100% fine. Therefore I would NOT recommend visiting this dentist.

    I would highly recommend. As someone who hates the dentist and put off going for years, I can say that going to Crown Dental is probably the best dental experience I've ever had. I am a very nervous patient, but Dr. Joanna is a brilliant dentist who really put me at ease.

    Myself and my family has seen Dr. Erika Barta regularly. Crown Dental helped our family in many ways, we always attend for regular check-ups and cleanings. And also got implants and bridges done by Crown Dental. The staff is very helpful and professional. The environment is very relaxed, you don't feel going to the dentist 🙂 . I always recommend the clinic to my friends.
