What Are Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces are a reliable and proven orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth over time. This method involves attaching metal brackets and wires to your teeth, which gradually shift them into alignment through consistent pressure. Fixed braces are ideal for addressing a variety of dental concerns, including crooked teeth, bite issues, and overcrowding—common concerns for teenagers.
For parents who are considering braces for their teens, fixed braces remain one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions.

Who Requires Braces & How Does It Work?
Braces are recommended for individuals who want to correct dental issues such as crooked teeth, misaligned bites, and overcrowded teeth. They are ideal for both teenagers and adults who want to improve their smile, bite function, and overall dental health.
Why Choose Fixed Braces for Your Teenager?
• Proven Effectiveness for Teens: Fixed braces are highly effective for teenagers, whose teeth and jaws are still growing and adapting. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the results.
• Long-Term Results: Fixed braces provide permanent, lasting results, helping your teenager achieve a straight smile and improved dental health.
• Targeting Complex Cases: For severe alignment or bite issues, fixed braces are the go-to option. They can address more complex cases.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to other orthodontic options like Invisalign, fixed braces offer a more affordable treatment option. The cost savings make them an accessible choice for families, especially for teens who may need extensive treatment.

Let's answer some frequently asked questions.
Braces work by applying continuous, gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position over time. This is achieved through a combination of brackets, arch wires, and elastic bands that guide tooth movement. Orthodontic treatment helps correct misalignment, overcrowding, and bite issues, improving both function and appearance.
The duration of braces treatment depends on the complexity of the case. On average, patients wear braces for 8 to 12 months, but some treatments may be shorter or longer. Factors such as age, compliance with care instructions, and the severity of misalignment can impact treatment time.
Braces are not usually painful, but mild discomfort can occur, especially after adjustments. You may experience tenderness as your teeth shift, but this usually subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief, orthodontic wax, and soft foods can help manage any discomfort.
The cost of braces in Australia varies based on the type of treatment, the severity of misalignment, and the length of treatment. Fixed braces typically range from $5,000 to $10,000. Many dental clinics offer flexible interest-free payment plans to make orthodontic care more affordable.
Yes, braces are highly effective in correcting overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. In some cases, additional orthodontic appliances such as rubber bands, expanders, or even surgery may be required for severe bite misalignments.
You can eat most foods with braces, but some foods should be avoided to prevent damage. Sticky, hard, or crunchy foods like caramel, popcorn, and hard candies can break brackets or wires. A braces-friendly diet includes soft foods such as pasta, yogurt, soups, and smoothies.
Braces require regular orthodontic adjustments every 4 to 8 weeks. These visits are essential for tightening the wires, monitoring progress, and ensuring your teeth are moving as planned. Skipping appointments can prolong your treatment time.
If a bracket or wire breaks, contact your orthodontist as soon as possible for repairs. In the meantime, orthodontic wax can be used to cover sharp edges and prevent irritation. Avoid trying to fix broken braces yourself, as this may cause further damage.
Good oral hygiene with braces is essential to prevent cavities and gum disease. Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily with special orthodontic floss or a water flosser, and use an antibacterial mouthwash for extra protection.
Braces may cause minor speech changes initially, particularly with lingual braces or clear aligners. However, most patients adjust within a few days to weeks. Speaking slowly and practicing pronunciation can help speed up the adaptation process.
Yes! If you play contact sports, wearing a mouthguard for braces is recommended to protect your teeth and orthodontic appliances. Musical instruments like the flute or trumpet may take some adjustment, but you’ll quickly adapt to playing with braces.
Braces do not stain teeth, but poor oral hygiene can lead to plaque buildup and discoloration. To prevent staining, brush thoroughly, avoid sugary drinks, and have regular dental cleanings during your orthodontic treatment.
After braces are removed, patients must wear a retainer to maintain their new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back. Retainers can be removable or fixed, and your orthodontist will provide specific instructions on how long to wear them.
There is no age limit for braces! While many patients get braces during their teenage years, adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. More adults are choosing braces or clear aligners to improve their smile and oral health later in life.
We are conveniently located in the heart of Brisbane at Level 1/33 Longland St, Newstead QLD 4006. Our practice is easily accessible, making it convenient for residents in Brisbane and Newstead to visit us for orthodontic treatment and dental care.
