Fixed orthodontics

Fixed Braces

Fixed braces are one of the most common forms of braces currently used in Ireland.
Sometimes referred to as “train-tracks”, fixed braces are metal brackets that are bonded/attached to the front of the patient's teeth. These brackets are attached to each other using a high-quality metal wire; which is changed regularly for the duration of the brace treatment.
The advantage of fixed braces is they are extremely effective and allow for the precise alignment of the teeth.

Aesthetic “Invisible” Braces
