Fixed Orthodontic Braces in Perth

Fixed Orthodontic Braces: The Trusted Path to a Perfect Smile

 
If you’re looking to straighten your teeth and improve your bite, fixed orthodontic braces remain one of the most effective and reliable options. Braces can correct a wide range of dental issues, from crowded teeth to misalignments and bite problems. With postgraduate training in orthodontics, Dr. Amanda B. Duke offers expert care to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

What Are Fixed Orthodontic Braces?

 
Fixed braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to each tooth and connected by a wire. Over time, gentle pressure from the wire gradually moves your teeth into the correct position.
 
These braces are designed to remain on your teeth throughout the course of treatment, making them a dependable and consistent option for a variety of orthodontic issues.

Benefits of Fixed Orthodontic Braces

 
Effective for Complex Cases: Fixed braces are highly effective in treating a wide range of orthodontic problems, including severe crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. They provide precise control over the movement of your teeth, making them ideal for more complex cases.
 
Consistent Results: Because they are always on, braces work around the clock to straighten your teeth, ensuring consistent and reliable results. There’s no need to worry about forgetting to wear them, as they are constantly in place.
 
Suitable for All Ages: Fixed braces aren’t just for teens—they can be used effectively on adults as well. Whether you’re looking to fix a long-standing dental issue or enhance your smile at any stage of life, braces can provide the results you’re looking for.

Customizable Options: Modern braces come in different materials. You can opt for metal brackets for a traditional look, or more discreet ceramic brackets that blend in with the color of your teeth for a less noticeable option.

Fixed Braces vs. Clear Aligners: How Do They Compare?

 
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have gained popularity in recent years as a more discreet option for teeth straightening. However, each treatment has its unique advantages, and here’s how fixed braces compare to clear aligners:

Ceramic Veneers

Material: High-quality porcelain or ceramic for a natural, lifelike appearance.

Durability: Highly durable, lasting 10-15 years or more with proper care.

Stain Resistance: Resistant to staining from foods and drinks.

Appearance: More translucent and lifelike, closely mimicking the look of natural teeth.

Cost: Higher cost due to the custom lab work and durability.

Composite Bonding/Veneers

Material: Composite resin, which is applied directly to the tooth.

Durability: Typically lasts 5-7 years, may require touch-ups.

Stain Resistance: More prone to staining over time, similar to natural teeth.

Appearance: Slightly less natural in appearance, but can still achieve good results.

Cost: More affordable, but may require more frequent maintenance.
