Our range of fixed orthodontic appliances to suit you needs

Traditional metal braces

Although we call them “traditional,” the technology behind metal braces has come a long way since the days of headgear. Metal braces are fabricated from high-grade stainless steel that forms brackets attached to each tooth.

Small elastics (or o-rings) connect a thin archwire to the brackets. Your Orthodontist tightens the archwire periodically, and at the same time replaces the elastics, applying pressure to your teeth to prompt them to move slowly into position.

Ceramic braces

If visibility is a factor for your orthodontic treatment, ceramic braces may provide a reasonable alternative. With ceramic braces, the brackets are made from a clear, transparent material. The braces are less visible to others, which makes them a popular choice for adults who need orthodontic treatment.

Iconix Fixed Braces

Iconix braces are made from stainless steel champagne coloured brackets which blend in well with the teeth and are a little less obvious than traditional metal braces. These brackets offer the best of both worlds – the durability of stainless steel and the aesthetics of ‘white’ gold.
