Traditional fixed braces remain the most powerful and reliable
tool in orthodontics — working 24/7 without depending on patient compliance.
Fixed braces have been the orthodontic standard for over a century — not because nothing better has emerged, but because nothing has surpassed their ability to deliver precise, reliable tooth movement across the full spectrum of case complexity. They work around the clock, applying continuous force regardless of patient compliance.
Modern braces are significantly smaller and more comfortable than their predecessors. Self-ligating brackets eliminate elastic ties, reducing friction and allowing teeth to move more efficiently. Ceramic brackets — tooth-coloured and far less visible than metal — provide an aesthetic option for patients who need the reliability of fixed treatment without the conspicuousness of metal.
At I Smile Clinic, Dr. Brijesh manages all fixed orthodontic cases personally. Treatment planning uses digital records — intraoral scans and cephalometric X-rays — and cases are reviewed at every appointment against the original plan. Complex skeletal discrepancies requiring jaw surgery are managed in coordination with oral and maxillofacial surgical colleagues.

Significant overlapping, rotations, and impacted teeth — conditions that push the limits of aligner capability — are reliably resolved with fixed braces.
Severe overbites, underbites, and open bites involving skeletal components are best managed with fixed appliances combined with elastics.
When jaw size discrepancy requires orthognathic surgery, fixed braces align the teeth before and after surgery to achieve the final occlusion.
Teeth buried in bone — commonly upper canines — can be exposed surgically and guided into their correct position with fixed braces.
Braces remain the most effective option for teenagers undergoing comprehensive orthodontic treatment — compliance is not a variable.
Cases requiring precise three-dimensional control of root position — particularly for achieving a stable, functional occlusion — benefit from the torque control inherent in fixed bracket systems.
Full-face photos, intraoral photos, digital scan, panoramic X-ray, and lateral cephalometric X-ray provide the complete diagnostic picture.
Cephalometric analysis and diagnostic setup determine the treatment objectives — tooth positions, bite, and facial profile goals — before brackets are placed.
Brackets are bonded to the teeth with dental adhesive and the initial archwire is tied in. Bonding takes approximately 60–90 minutes.
Every 6–8 weeks, the archwire is changed or activated to advance tooth movement through the planned sequence of forces.
Brackets are removed, teeth are polished, and retainers are fitted at the same appointment — ensuring no shift occurs in the hours between debond and retention.
Invisalign uses a proprietary series of precision-moulded clear trays to move teeth predictably and comfortably — with the evidence base of over 14 million treated patients worldwide.
Clear aligner therapy moves teeth through a series of custom-fabricated transparent trays — offering orthodontic results with minimal impact on your appearance and lifestyle.
