Brackets, small devices made of metal, plastic, or ceramic, are applied to the teeth and connected by elastic metal wires.

These wires, individually shaped, need to be replaced regularly.
The pressure exerted by the metal arches allows the teeth to gradually move into the correct position.
Treatment with fixed braces generally takes less than 2 years, making it significantly faster than using removable braces.

Additionally, fixed braces work 24 hours a day, regardless of the cooperation of the patient or their parents.
The effectiveness of fixed braces is not dependent on the patient’s age: they are equally effective for both adults and children.

A drawback of fixed braces with brackets and arches is the increased difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene, which raises the risk of cavities.
It is therefore essential to perform thorough and regular dental cleaning using specific brushes.
Our dental hygienists offer specialized training programs for patients with orthodontic devices.

Additionally, for those seeking a more discreet solution, there are transparent ceramic or resin brackets, which are almost invisible, helping to avoid the so-called “metallic smile.”
