Fixed Braces

Wires connected to brackets affixed to your teeth are used by fixed braces to straighten your teeth. They provide remarkable control over the realignment of your teeth, and current dentistry has made brackets thinner and less noticeable than in the past.

For more discretion, fixed braces can be attached to either the front or back of the teeth.

With braces affixed to the front of the teeth, silver remains the most frequent colour, while transparent or porcelain brackets offer more unobtrusive alternatives.

At Smile Hub Dental Clinic, our orthodontists have additional, specialised knowledge with Lingual Braces and will conduct a comprehensive dental and aesthetic evaluation to determine the most effective treatment options for achieving your ideal smile. Our Orthodontists in Dublin are professionals in teeth straightening.
