Orthodontics for Adults
Fixed Braces
As well as Invisalign we at Aspire can also provide you with fixed braces.
This may be a cheaper alternative to Invisalign, and is used in very complex cases.
Fixed braces have brackets that are glued to the upper and lower teeth. A wire connects the brackets and this allows teeth to be moved.
The brackets can be made of stainless steel (metal) or ceramic.
• Metal brackets are generally used for children as they are easier to clean.
• Tooth coloured Ceramic brackets are generally used for adults as they are more aeshetic.
Benefits of Fixed Braces
• Cheaper treatment option compared to Invisalign
• Used for complex cases
• Cannot be removed ,thus one cannot lose them or forget to wear them which results in extended treatment times
