Metal Braces

Introduction to Metal Braces

  • Metal braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments.
  • They use high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires to straighten teeth over time.
  • Best suited for children, teens, and adults looking for a reliable solution to crooked teeth.

How Metal Braces Work

  • Brackets: Small, durable squares attached to each tooth.
  • Archwire: Thin metal wire that connects the brackets.
  • Elastic Bands: Helps in adjusting the tension of the wire, gradually moving teeth into the desired position.
  • Regular checkups are required for wire tightening and adjustments.

Advantages of Metal Braces

  • Effective and Precise: Proven results for all types of dental issues.
  • Durable: Stronger compared to ceramic or plastic braces.
  • Cost-Effective: Usually more affordable than clear aligners or ceramic braces.
  • Color Options: Choose colorful bands to personalize the look!

Who Can Benefit from Metal Braces?

Anyone with:
  • Crooked or overcrowded teeth.
  • Bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite).
  • Spacing issues or gaps between teeth.

Are Metal Braces Painful?
