What are Metal Braces?
Metal braces are a tried and tested type of orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth and improve bite alignment. High-quality stainless-steel brackets are attached to your teeth and are then threaded through with wires made of a flexible metal alloy.
This applies a gentle amount of pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. The braces are held in place with small rubber bands, called “ligatures,” or with clear plastic “modules.”
Metal braces are the most traditional type of braces, and have been used for decades as an effective way to straighten teeth. They’re a more affordable option and are perfect for those who want a more reliable treatment than removable braces.
If you have any questions about metal braces or would like to seek treatment on your children’s behalf, please don’t hesitate to contact us today!
