Metal fixed braces are a type of dental braces that are used to straighten teeth and improve the appearance of the jaws and teeth. This type of braces is permanently attached to the teeth using wires, metal cutters, screws, and steel brackets.
Metal fixed aligners are very effective in correcting a variety of dental problems, such as too little space between teeth, excessive crowding, receding gums, and a false bite. It is also used to treat some congenital jaw conditions that affect oral and dental function, such as the case of a missing artificial jaw.
Metal fixed aligners need good care and regular maintenance, and should be carefully cleaned with a toothbrush and dental floss. Hard, sticky, and crunchy foods that can cause braces damage should also be avoided, and bad habits such as nail chewing and dental anxiety should be avoided.
