Dental braces fixing is an orthodontic procedure used to correct misaligned teeth, bite problems, and jaw irregularities by gradually moving teeth into the proper position. Braces apply continuous, gentle pressure on the teeth over time, helping improve both dental function and appearance.
Dental braces are commonly used to treat crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Orthodontic treatment can improve chewing, speech, oral hygiene, and overall smile aesthetics.
Braces are suitable for both children and adults, and treatment duration depends on the severity of alignment issues and the type of braces used.

● Improves chewing and speech function
● Enhances smile appearance and confidence

● Supports long-term oral health
● Individuals with crooked or crowded teeth
● People with gaps between teeth

1. Metal Braces
Traditional braces are made of metal brackets and wires attached to the teeth. They are durable and commonly used for complex orthodontic problems.
2. Ceramic Braces
Similar to metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that are less noticeable.
3. Lingual Braces
Placed behind the teeth, making them hidden from view while still correcting alignment problems.
4. Self-Ligating Braces
Use built-in clips instead of elastic bands to hold the wires in place, reducing friction and adjustment time.
5. Clear Aligners
Transparent removable trays used for mild to moderate alignment problems as an alternative to fixed braces.
● Patient consults an orthodontist or dentist
● Teeth, jaw, and bite are examined
● Dental X-rays, photographs, or impressions are taken
● Orthodontic treatment plan is prepared
● Teeth are cleaned and prepared
● Brackets are attached to the teeth using dental adhesive
● Archwires are placed and secured
● Regular adjustment appointments are scheduled
● Braces gradually move teeth into proper alignment over time
The procedure for fixing braces usually takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on the type of braces used.
Patients may experience mild discomfort, pressure, or soreness for a few days after braces are fixed or adjusted. Orthodontic wax and pain relief medicines may help reduce irritation.
Proper oral hygiene is very important during orthodontic treatment. Patients should brush and floss carefully around braces and avoid sticky, hard, or sugary foods that can damage brackets or wires.
Regular follow-up appointments are needed to adjust braces and monitor tooth movement. After braces are removed, retainers are often used to maintain the new tooth position.
● Mild pain or discomfort
● Mouth sores or irritation
● Tooth decay due to poor oral hygiene
● Gum inflammation
● Broken brackets or wires
● Temporary speech or eating difficulty
● Relapse if retainers are not used properly
Dental braces are generally safe and effective when treatment instructions and oral care guidelines are followed.
Dental braces are fixed appliances that are highly effective for treating complex orthodontic problems and severe tooth movement.

The best treatment option depends on the patient’s dental condition, lifestyle, and the orthodontist’s recommendation.
Dental braces fixing is used to straighten teeth, correct bite problems, and improve jaw alignment and oral function.
