Discover your perfect, healthy smile with fixed braces alongside professional and personalised care at Cathedral Orthodontics.
Fixed braces have been a trusted and reliable teeth-straightening solution for people all around the world for many years. As a well-established orthodontic practice, our team of specialists have extensive experience in using fixed braces to address a wide variety of orthodontic needs, ranging from simple to severe cases.
Metal Braces are traditional braces made from high-grade stainless steel. They are a durable and highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues. They are more affordable than other types of fixed braces. Coloured elastic bands (ligatures) can be added for personalization.
ICONIX metal braces are very similar to their silver counterparts but are champagne/gold coloured, these blend with the natural colour of you teeth, making them much less noticeable
Ceramic Braces work in the same way as other fixed braces but are made of tooth-coloured or ceramic that blend in with the teeth. The wire area also have a tooth coloured coating to help them blend in.
Also known as traditional braces, fixed braces consist of small brackets that are bonded to the surface of each tooth and connected by a thin, metal wire called an arch wire.
These arch wires are held in place by elastic bands called ligatures, which apply gentle, continuous pressure to the teeth, gradually guiding them into their correct position over time.

Brace Fitting: During your next appointment, our orthodontist will bond the brackets to your teeth and connect them with an arch wire. This wire will be periodically adjusted throughout your treatment to guide your teeth into their proper positions.
Adjustments: You will visit your orthodontist approximately every 4-6 weeks for adjustments to your fixed brace. These appointments ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and allow us to make any necessary modifications to your braces.
