Orthodontic braces

Braces (fixed appliances) use a system of brackets and archwires to deliver controlled, stable forces, moving teeth into their correct positions on the dental arch. This technique also helps correct occlusal discrepancies toward a physiologic, ideal bite. As a result, braces are highly effective for improving protrusion (overjet), underbite, spacing/diastema, and crowding.

Types of bracket-based braces

  

Depending on your aesthetic needs and budget, you can choose the braces option that best suits you—ensuring effective treatment while staying comfortable throughout orthodontic care.

Who should consider fixed braces 

- Individuals with protrusion (overjet), underbite, spacing/diastema, crowding, or significant malocclusion.

- Those who want predictable results and prioritize cost-effectiveness.

- Children, adolescents, and adults with complex orthodontic conditions.

Benefits of Fixed Braces

As a classic orthodontic modality, bracket-and-archwire braces remain a trusted choice thanks to their high treatment efficacy and stability throughout tooth movement.

 

High effectiveness across dental–skeletal discrepancies

Braces deliver continuous, controlled forces to move teeth precisely according to the treatment plan. They are suitable even for complex cases such as severely displaced teeth, significant malocclusion, or jaw discrepancies.

 

Restores chewing and speech

When teeth and occlusion are corrected to proper positions, patients experience clearer articulation and improved mastication.

 

Long-term preservation of natural teeth

By distributing occlusal load more evenly, braces help reduce tooth wear, gingival recession, and periodontal complications over time.

 

Enhances facial and smile aesthetics

A physiologic bite and well-aligned teeth improve facial harmony and create a more confident smile.

 

Accessible, cost-effective care

Compared with other orthodontic options, metal braces are generally more budget-friendly while still providing excellent outcomes.

Grade Braces Workflow

At Tam Nhu Dental Clinic, fixed-appliance orthodontics follows an evidence-based, personalized protocol to ensure optimal, safe, and patient-centered results.

 

Step 1: Examination & CT imaging

Comprehensive assessment of oral health and history, plus CBCT (cone-beam CT) 3D, panoramic (Panorex), and cephalometric radiographs to collect detailed clinical data.

 

Step 2: Analysis – Consultation – Treatment planning

Using radiographs and photos, the doctor performs digital analysis, proposes treatment options and estimated duration, and provides thorough counseling for informed consent.

 

Step 3: Pre-orthodontic care

Professional cleaning, indicated extractions (if any), and management of gingivitis/periodontal issues before starting braces.

 

Step 4: Placement of orthodontic auxiliaries

Insertion of separators/bands or other necessary attachments.

 

Step 5: Bracket bonding

Bonding of brackets and initial archwire engagement per the treatment plan.

 

Step 6: Periodic adjustments

Follow-ups every 3–6 weeks to adjust the appliance, monitor tooth movement, and address issues promptly.

 

Step 7: Debonding & retention

Removal of brackets and delivery of retainers to maintain long-term stability.
