For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. In Mildmay, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. Their constant, controlled force is why they remain first choice for significant bite problems. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
