Traditional fixed metal braces are by far, the most well-known and widely used braces around.
Though there are a number of different brace choices out there, these tried and tested fixed braces offer precise, predictable results. Which is why they remain extremely popular.
HOW DO FIXED BRACES WORK?
Tradition fixed braces consist of brackets, which are fixed or bonded to your teeth. They are then joined together using a metal wire. Then rubber bands are attached to each individual bracket holding the wire firmly in place. It is the gradual force created by the wire that moves your teeth into their correct position.

HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO WEAR THEM FOR?
