Fixed dental braces (one jaw) - Cosmetic Dental Group

Fixed appliances are the most common and most effective way of straightening teeth, that is, correcting orthodontic anomalies. The term fixed appliance means small locks that are glued to your teeth from the front, and are connected by a wire along its entire length. Once glued to the teeth, they cannot be removed until the end of the therapy, and the wires change from the thinnest to the thickest. The wire is used to create tension that pulls the teeth in a given direction based on the treatment plan and, over time, positions them in the desired position and a properly shaped dental arch.
