Metal Braces is a traditional orthodontic treatment that uses small stainless steel or titanium brackets attached to the teeth. These brackets are connected by a thin wire that applies gentle pressure, guiding the teeth into better alignment over time. The treatment has been used for decades and continues to be one of the most reliable methods for correcting dental alignment problems. The dentist at our affiliated clinic often recommends metal braces for cases ranging from mild crowding to complex bite issues.

Modern designs are more comfortable and smaller than earlier versions, which makes them less bulky inside the mouth. With regular adjustments, the braces gradually move the teeth into healthier positions. The predictable results make this treatment a dependable option for many alignments needs. Metal Braces is also strong and durable, able to handle the movement of even severely misaligned teeth, which ensures long-lasting improvements in both function and appearance.

One of the biggest benefits of Metal Braces is the effectiveness in treating a wide variety of dental problems. It is often more affordable compared to ceramic braces or clear aligners, making it accessible to many patients. In addition, patients can select different band colors to personalize the appearance of their braces. This combination of durability, effectiveness, and affordability has made Metal Braces a popular choice for those seeking a healthier smile and improved oral function.

Metal Braces begins by consultation with the dentist at the affiliated clinic, where the alignment of the teeth and bite is carefully assessed. Dental records such as X-rays, photos, and impressions are often taken to create a detailed treatment plan. Once the plan is confirmed, the dentist at our affiliated clinic bonds small metal brackets onto the surface of each tooth using a dental adhesive. A thin archwire is then threaded through these brackets and secured with elastic bands or metal ties.

The initial fitting usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of teeth being treated. After the braces are in place, the dentist at our affiliated clinic schedules regular adjustment visits every 4 to 6 weeks. During these appointments, the archwire may be tightened or replaced to apply new pressure, slowly guiding the teeth into their correct positions. The gradual movement is designed to be gentle yet effective, ensuring both aesthetic and functional improvements over time.

The total treatment duration typically ranges from 18 to 36 months, depending on the complexity of the case. One of the key benefits of this method is its ability to correct severe teeth misalignment, crowding, or bite issues. Patients can also enjoy the durability of stainless steel or titanium materials, which are resistant to damage. Downtime is minimal, as most individuals can return to daily activities immediately after fitting or adjustments. Some temporary soreness or sensitivity may occur for 1 to 3 days after treatment, but this usually subsides quickly with adjustment to the new pressure.
