Fixed appliances, known more commonly as ‘train tracks’ are small metal brackets that are individually glued to the surface of each tooth and linked together with archwires; you can customise them by choosing from the 24 colours available.

They can be worn by any age group, and treatment generally lasts between 9-24 months

They are fixed for the duration of treatment and can only be removed by an orthodontist

Metal fixed appliances are available as an NHS or private treatment.
