Metal braces

Metal braces are the original orthodontic method – and they have come a long way! Brackets are now smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before.

How do metal braces work?

Metal braces use small stainless steel brackets affixed to the front of each tooth. A thin metal archwire threads through the brackets and connects them. Then, small elastics are used to hold everything in place.

During treatment, you will visit our clinic for regular adjustment appointments. At these appointments, your Specialist Orthodontist will make small bends in your archwires. This will place targeted pressure on your teeth that will slowly guide your smile into alignment.
