What are Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces use small brackets and wires to gradually and precisely move your teeth into their ideal position. They are one of the most effective and reliable ways to correct crowding, gaps and bite problems, including more complex cases that clear aligners may not suit. Braces can be made from stainless steel or tooth-coloured ceramic, and in some cases fitted to the inner surfaces of the teeth (lingual braces).
At Moonee Ponds Smiles we create a tailored orthodontic plan for children, teens and adults, guiding your smile towards a healthier, straighter result.
Why Choose Us?
Fixed braces give your dentist precise control over tooth movement, making them a dependable choice for a wide range of alignment and bite concerns.
Every journey begins with a complimentary consultation and bite analysis. Our experienced team plans each case carefully and supports you throughout treatment with regular, gentle adjustments. We offer flexible payment plans and accept all major health funds.

After your visit
Your teeth may feel tender for a day or two after your braces are fitted or adjusted, which is a sign they are moving.
Brackets can rub at first, and orthodontic wax easily soothes any irritation while your mouth adjusts.
Softer foods are easier in the first few days, and you will soon adapt to eating comfortably.
Cleaning around braces takes a little more effort and quickly becomes part of your routine.
Any discomfort eases as you get used to your braces and see your smile gradually improve.
Long-term care
Avoid hard and sticky foods
Protect your braces by steering clear of hard, chewy or sticky foods that can damage them.
Brush after meals
Clean thoroughly around brackets and wires to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Use interdental brushes
Small brushes help you clean the spaces braces can make harder to reach.
Attend your adjustments
Keeping your scheduled visits ensures your treatment stays on track and finishes on time.
Wear your retainer
After your braces come off, wearing your retainer as directed keeps your smile straight.
Good oral hygiene and keeping your appointments are the keys to a smooth treatment and a lasting straight smile.
