What are fixed braces and how do they work?
Fixed braces consist of brackets (small attachments) bonded to the surface of the teeth and connected to each other by a metal archwire. The wire applies constant, controlled pressure, gradually guiding the teeth into the desired position. Treatment with fixed braces allows complex corrections, from severe crowding and large gaps to problems with the bite (occlusion) and jaw alignment. It is a versatile option, suitable for both teenagers and adults, offering predictability and results that can remain stable in the long term.
You will find details about everyday life with fixed braces (eating, hygiene, sports) in our dedicated article.
Types of fixed braces at Dental CATTED
At Dental CATTED, you will find several types of fixed braces, each with its own advantages, so you can choose the option that suits you:
Metal braces
Metal braces
These are the most widely used fixed braces, thanks to their durability. Made from stainless steel, they can effectively correct a wide range of orthodontic problems, from mild crowding to severe malocclusions. Modern brackets are miniaturized and rounded for greater comfort. They are an economical and reliable option, often chosen by patients who want predictable results, and they can be personalized with colored elastics at each checkup.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces
This aesthetic alternative uses translucent brackets that blend in with the natural shade of the teeth, making it a popular option among adults. The ceramic material used at Dental CATTED is stain-resistant and corrects tooth alignment as effectively as metal braces. It is a suitable option for patients who want discreet braces but need the precision of a fixed system to correct bite problems or unsightly gaps.
Sapphire braces
Sapphire braces
Sapphire braces are a very discreet option. The monocrystalline sapphire brackets are transparent, barely visible on the teeth, and stay clear throughout treatment because the material resists staining and scratching. They are very discreet fixed braces, with a strength similar to steel. They are chosen by patients who do not want braces to affect their social image, while still benefiting from high-precision orthodontic correction.
Self-ligating braces
Self-ligating braces
Self-ligating systems (such as the Damon system) do away with the need for colored elastics, using a special mechanism to hold the archwire. This reduces friction, which means greater comfort and often a shorter overall treatment time. Because they have fewer areas where plaque can build up, these braces are easier to clean and need fewer visits for activation, making them a modern solution in orthodontics.

The stages of fitting fixed braces
- 1
Consultation and detailed diagnosis
A complete assessment is carried out, including 3D scans and X-rays. Based on these, the orthodontist draws up a personalized treatment plan.
- 2
Fitting the braces
The brackets are precisely bonded to the surface of the teeth, and the archwire is inserted and secured. The procedure does not require anesthesia and is usually well tolerated.
- 3
Checkups and adjustments
At regular intervals (usually every 4–6 weeks), you will visit the clinic to have the archwire adjusted and your progress monitored. These visits allow the teeth to move gradually.
- 4
Removing the braces and retention (maintenance)
Once the desired result has been reached, the braces are removed. The retention phase follows, essential for keeping the teeth in their new position, with a fixed retainer and/or clear retainers.

Have questions? We have answers!
How long is treatment with fixed braces?
Treatment with fixed braces lasts 18 to 24 months on average, but it can range from 6 months to 3 years, depending on the complexity of the case, the patient’s age and how closely the dentist’s instructions are followed.
How much do fixed braces cost at Dental CATTED?
The price of metal braces is 3,100 RON per arch, while the sapphire version costs 4,200 – 5,000 RON. We are transparent about costs and offer payment in installments to help treatment fit your budget.
Is it painful to wear fixed braces?
After the braces are fitted and after each adjustment, it is normal to feel slight discomfort or pressure on the teeth, which usually lasts a few days. This shows that the teeth are starting to move. The soreness can be managed with ordinary painkillers.
Which foods should I avoid with fixed braces?
You should avoid sticky foods (toffee, chewing gum), hard foods (nuts, ice, popcorn) and foods that need big bites (whole apples, whole carrots) to prevent brackets coming off or the archwire bending. Cutting food into small pieces is recommended.
How do I clean my teeth with fixed braces?
Cleaning is crucial. You need to brush your teeth after every meal, using a special orthodontic toothbrush, special floss (with a stiff end) and/or interdental brushes. A water flosser can also be a great help. Your orthodontist will give you detailed instructions.
Can I play sports with fixed braces?
Yes, you can play sports. However, for contact sports, it is recommended that you wear a mouthguard specially designed for patients with braces, to prevent injuries to the lips and teeth.
