What are fixed braces?

To achieve the best possible improvement to your smile the majority of patient’s will require a fixed braces, known in the dental profession as fixed dental appliances.

Small metal or ceramic attachments are bonded to each individual tooth and in some cases metal rings/bands are also fitted to the back molar teeth.

The brackets or bands are then connected by an archwire, and the archwire is then held into place with a small elastic ring called modules. Modules come in a variety of different colours for those patients who wish to customise their brace.

Because teeth are irregular the archwire that we use has to be fitted to bend up or down or in and out between the teeth. The archwire has a perfect shape memory and will gradually return to its original shape, bringing the teeth with it.

A fixed appliance cannot be removed and acts full time, and so it is a very effective appliance. Modern brackets are very small and cover a relatively small area of tooth.

Fixed appliances are adjusted at regular intervals to straighten teeth and correct the bite.

Cosmetic Clear Fixed Braces

Clear brackets create near invisible clear braces (invisibraces) – an aesthetic fixed appliance as once worn by Tom Cruise.

I was amazed at how quickly my teeth began to move once the braces were fitted. Jonathan is a great guy and I am very pleased with the end result. I had to be patient as it took a few years for my teeth to be perfect but it’s worth the end result. Thanks Jonathan for all your help!

I would like to say the biggest thank you to Jonathan, Lucie and all the team at York Orthodontics. 
I was thinking about having a full set of veneers as I could not see my top teeth when I smiled, that would have cost me around £14000. 
I remember I mentioned to Jonathan about veneers & he looked at me & said that if you want veneers then go somewhere else as I will NOT DESTROY healthy teeth.
 This made me realise that he was the man for me. And what an amazing man too. I felt so at ease & knew that he was so good at his job. 18 months later my brace is now removed & my teeth look fabulous. At 52 years old I look like I have the teeth of a 25 year old!!
 Thank you all I feel like a new woman & I would highly recommend Jonathan & his amazing team. Thank you so very much.
