Fixed Braces are glued to the teeth to which a wire is attached that moves the teeth to the required position. They can be used to treat simple to complex problems to give an excellent result. We use both the traditional metal fixed brace design as well as the innovative cosmetic tooth-coloured fixed brace which is very popular with both our adult & child patients.
Invisalign Braces are an alternative to the fixed braces option, and are used to treat crooked teeth or gaps between the teeth in suitable cases. They are comfortable, removable and importantly made of a clear medical grade plastic. These braces are custom made to fit each individual and they gently move teeth into a desired position. Because they are removable it also makes it easier to keep your teeth clean.
