Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. In Mount Hawke, 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. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.
