What Are Ceramic and Metal Braces?
Ceramic and metal braces are fixed orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth and improve bite alignment. They use brackets and wires to apply gentle, controlled pressure, gradually moving the teeth into a more balanced position over time.
Because fixed braces remain attached to the teeth throughout treatment, they can be especially useful for patients who need consistent tooth movement or more detailed orthodontic correction.
- Ceramic braces – discreet, tooth-coloured brackets
- Metal braces – traditional and highly effective orthodontic treatment
Both options are suitable for correcting a wide range of alignment and bite issues.

What Can Fixed Braces Help Correct?
Fixed braces can be used to treat a range of alignment and bite concerns. They are planned carefully to improve both the appearance of the smile and the way the teeth meet when biting.
During your consultation, your dentist or orthodontist will assess your teeth, jaw relationship, and bite to recommend the most suitable treatment approach.
Crowded Teeth
Braces can gradually create better spacing and alignment where teeth overlap or appear crowded.
Gaps Between Teeth
Fixed braces can help close unwanted spaces and create a more even smile.
Overbite
Treatment may help improve cases where the upper teeth sit too far over the lower teeth.
Underbite
Braces may be used as part of a plan to improve bite balance where the lower teeth sit too far forward.
Crossbite
Fixed braces can help correct areas where the upper and lower teeth do not bite together properly.
Rotated or Misaligned Teeth
Braces can guide individual teeth into a more balanced and functional position.

How Do Ceramic Braces Work?
Ceramic braces work in the same way as traditional braces by applying gentle pressure to move teeth into alignment.
They use clear or tooth-coloured brackets attached to the teeth, connected by a wire that is gradually adjusted throughout treatment.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the traditional orthodontic solution and remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth.
They are particularly suitable for more complex cases and provide precise control over tooth movement.
How Do Fixed Braces Work?
Fixed braces consist of brackets attached to each tooth and connected by a thin wire.
The wire is adjusted over time to apply controlled pressure, gradually moving your teeth into the correct position.
