Metal Braces

Metal braces are orthodontic appliances made of high-grade stainless steel that gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They consist of three main components:

• Brackets – a small square-shaped metal attachment which is bonded to each tooth surface.

• Archwire – A thin metal wire connecting the brackets, guiding teeth into position.

• Ligatures (elastic ties) – Tiny rubber bands that hold the archwire in place.

Over time, controlled pressure from the archwire gently shifts the teeth into alignment, correcting issues ranging from minor crowding to severe bite discrepancies.

Why Choose Metal Braces?

• Proven Effectiveness: Ideal for treating complex orthodontic issues that aligners or other braces may not address.

• Durability: Made of strong stainless steel, braces are resistant to damage and work consistently.

• Cost-Effective: Metal braces are usually the most affordable orthodontic solution without compromising results.

• Customization: Patients, especially children, can choose colored bands to personalize their braces.

• Precise Control: Orthodontists can make detailed adjustments for predictable outcomes.
