Dental braces fixed to the teeth of a girl. Fixed braces consist of metal brackets cemented to each tooth, with an adjustable wire threaded through each bracket. Braces (or ortho- dontic devices) are worn to correct poor alignment between upper & lower jaws (malocclusions) or overcrowding of teeth. Fixed braces are used when many teeth need repositioning as they give more precise control over teeth movement than removable braces.
