Proven, Effective, and Reliable
Metal braces remain the gold standard for straightening teeth. With advanced technology, today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever, making them a trusted choice for achieving a perfect smile.
What Are Metal Braces?
Metal braces are made of high-quality stainless steel and consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands. The brackets are bonded to your teeth, and the wire runs through them, applying gentle pressure to move your teeth into the correct position over time. The wires and elastic bands can be customized with different colors to reflect your personality, making metal braces a fun option for kids and teens, while still being effective for adults as well.
Why Choose Metal Braces?
While there are several orthodontic options available, metal braces remain the go-to choice for many patients due to their affordability, reliability, and proven success. Here are some reasons why you might choose metal braces:
Highly Effective: Metal braces are highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild to severe cases of misalignment, bite issues, and crowded teeth.
Affordable: Compared to other orthodontic treatment options, metal braces are generally more affordable, making them an excellent choice for patients on a budget.
Proven Success: With decades of use and continuous improvement in technology, metal braces have a long track record of delivering excellent results for patients of all ages.
Suitable for All Ages: Metal braces are a great option for patients of all ages, from children to adults. They’re versatile and can address a wide variety of dental concerns, from basic alignment to complex bite corrections.
The Metal Braces Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your orthodontic needs, discuss your treatment goals, and recommend the best treatment option for you.
Braces Placement
Once you’ve decided on metal braces, we’ll place the brackets on your teeth and secure the wire. This process typically takes about one to two hours.
Adjustments and Checkups
You’ll need to come in for regular checkups every 4-6 weeks. During these visits, we’ll adjust your wires and replace the elastic bands as needed to continue guiding your teeth into place.
Completion and Retainers
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll remove the braces and provide retainers to help maintain your new smile. Retainers ensure that your teeth stay in their new, aligned positions.
