braces

Fixed braces are the treatment of choice for aligning and positioning permanent teeth correctly. They can be used to create space without the need for extractions and to close existing gaps. In many cases, brackets need to be placed on both the upper and lower teeth—not only to move individual teeth, but also to influence the shape of the jaws. To ensure proper alignment between the upper and lower jaws, additional aids such as elastic bands are often required.

With fixed braces, it is especially important to move the teeth gradually and with minimal force. This approach supports patient comfort and protects the surrounding tissues, helping to achieve a more stable and long-lasting tooth and bite alignment. There are significant differences between standard materials covered by public health insurance and modern, high-quality bracket systems that offer greater precision and comfort.
