For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. In Brunswick Village, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.
