Traditional metal braces are a popular choice for kids, teens, and adults! Metal braces consist of stainless steel brackets and wires with small elastic bands.
Metal braces can treat a variety of simple to complex orthodontic conditions, including malocclusions (bite misalignments), crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and gapped teeth.
Braces are not only effective for treating cosmetic concerns and straightening the teeth, but they’re incredibly beneficial for improving oral health too. When teeth are misaligned or overlapping, it can be difficult to clean in between each tooth. This can cause bacteria to build-up between the teeth, which can lead to cavities, gum disease, gingivitis, tartar build-up and tooth loss.
Throughout your braces treatment, every 6 to 8 weeks (depending on your personalized treatment plan), you’ll visit us to check in on your progress and adjust your braces. During these appointments, we’ll ensure that you’re on the right track to your new smile!
At your braces adjustment appointments, you’ll have the option to choose from a variety of colored rubber bands to replace your old rubber bands. Get creative with your metal braces colors to express your style!
