Metal Braces are a fixed orthodontic treatment designed to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions and improve overall dental alignment. The system consists of metal brackets bonded to the teeth, archwires that guide tooth movement, and elastic ligatures that help secure the wire in place. Metal Braces are commonly used to treat crooked teeth, overcrowding, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other orthodontic concerns. By applying continuous and controlled pressure, the treatment gradually shifts teeth and improves both dental function and aesthetics. Metal Braces remain one of the most effective and widely used orthodontic treatments due to their durability, predictability, and ability to address a wide range of alignment problems.

Metal Braces work by applying gentle and continuous forces to the teeth through a system of brackets, archwires, and elastic ligatures. Metal brackets are attached to the tooth surfaces using dental adhesive. A specially designed orthodontic archwire is then placed through the brackets and secured with elastic ligatures or clips. As the archwire attempts to return to its original shape, controlled pressure is transmitted to the teeth, stimulating the surrounding bone and supporting tissues. This process allows the teeth to gradually move into their planned positions over time. During periodic adjustment appointments, the dentist may replace or tighten the archwire and elastics to maintain tooth movement and progress according to the treatment plan. Dental imaging, study models, and orthodontic assessments are typically used to monitor treatment progress and ensure optimal results.
