Fixed braces

Fixed braces, also known as traditional “train-track” braces, are one of the most effective and affordable ways to straighten your teeth and improve your smile. This tried-and-tested treatment is now more efficient than ever before thanks to modern technology.

What are fixed braces?

With fixed braces, a metal bracket is attached to the front of each tooth with an orthodontic adhesive glue. Then, thin metal archwires are threaded between the brackets and held in place by small elastic bands. This system applies gentle pressure to shape your smile.

How do fixed braces work?

During your treatment at The Forum Orthodontics, you will come in for regularly scheduled adjustment appointments. Our Specialist Orthodontist will make small bends in your archwire to increase pressure and guide your teeth into the proper alignment gradually over time.
