Fixed Braces

FIXED BRACES APPLIED EXTERNALLY

Unlike in the past, fixed brackets externally applied are considered ‘cool’ by many of today’s youngsters. The elements in a fixed brace are known as brackets. Brackets are made of either metal or ceramics. The latter has an aesthetic advantage, and the colour does not change in the course of treatment. Thanks to our self-ligating high-tech bracket system, less force is needed for moving the teeth, which means most of our young patients feel hardly any discomfort.

FIXED BRACES APPLIED INTERNALLY

The appliance is attached to the inner surface of the teeth, which makes it invisible. Since this type is much more complex to produce, we work with a professional laboratory that specialises in this type of brace.

1. RECEDING LOWER JAW AND/OR PROTRUDING UPPER INCISORS
Children with protruding incisors in the upper jaw suffer up to 50% more injuries to the anterior teeth.

2. LATERAL CROSSBITE
Where a child’s upper jaw is too narrow, the lower jaw laterally overlaps the upper jaw. As a result, the upper jaw cannot develop properly and the teeth do not have the space they need. Moreover, growth is asymmetrically directed where a crossbite exists.

3. FRONTAL OPEN BITE
This is often caused by sucking (e.g. thumb or dummy) or restricted nasal breathing. Many children with this problem also suffer from a malfunction of the tongue.

4. PROTRUDING LOWER JAW AND/OR RECEDING UPPER JAW
This misalignment results in a reversed overbite of the incisors.

5. CROWDING OF TEETH
During the secondary dentition phase, temporary crowding is not generally a problem. However, if the teeth are crowded together so closely that the permanent teeth have no chance to erupt, it is time to start treatment.

STEP BY STEP TO BEAUTIFUL TEETH

We approach treatment step by step, from initial consultation to follow-up care.
