Fixed Metal Braces

What Are They?

Traditional fixed metal braces are the most common method of orthodontic treatment and can be used to treat a wide variety of dental problems, including teeth that are crooked or misaligned, teeth that are overcrowded, large gaps between teeth and teeth which are rotated or protrusive. They consist of metal brackets that are attached to the teeth and which are connected by a wire. The braces put pressure on the teeth, gently correcting their position, and as the position of the teeth changes the wire is replaced with increasingly sturdier ones, making sure the correction is as long-lasting as possible.

Unlike ceramic and lingual braces, traditional braces are made of stainless steel and attached to the front of the teeth. This means that traditional braces will be more visible than the more inconspicuous options, but also means that they are much less expensive. Furthermore, modern brackets are smaller and less obtrusive than ever before, making the experience of having the braces more comfortable and less troublesome.

✓ Effortless and Automatic for Patients – With removable brace systems like Invisalign or Inman Aligner, treatment time can be delayed drastically due to the hassle of having to remember to put them back on multiple times a day (after brushing, eating, snacking, drinking…etc.). With Traditional braces, there is less hassle and it’s constantly working for you to align your teeth and create a beautiful smile.
