Uncover the strength and reliability of traditional metal braces, the classic choice for orthodontic treatment. With their time-tested design, metal braces have been successfully straightening teeth for generations. By utilizing small metal brackets and archwires, traditional metal braces gradually guide teeth into proper alignment, ensuring a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
What are Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces consist of small metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by archwires. These braces use the principle of gradual pressure to gently shift the teeth into their desired positions over time. They are highly durable and provide efficient and effective tooth alignment.
The Process of Getting Traditional Metal Braces
The journey towards a straighter smile with traditional metal braces typically begins with an initial consultation with our skilled orthodontists. During this visit, a comprehensive examination, including X-rays and impressions, will be conducted to assess your dental condition and determine the best treatment plan.
Once the treatment plan is established, the metal brackets will be carefully bonded to the teeth using a special dental adhesive. The archwires are then placed in the brackets and secured with elastic ligatures. Regular adjustment appointments will be scheduled to tighten the archwires and monitor the progress of your treatment.
