Metal Brackets
Smile with traditional metal brackets.
Orthodontists use a variety of products that are “bonded” to the teeth. The combination of brackets, bands and wires are called “braces.” The two most important ingredients are the brackets and the wires. Both brackets and wires are available in a multitude of shapes, sizes and materials. Once a bracket type is chosen, we are able to strategically and accurately bond them to each tooth so the teeth move in favorable directions with predictable results.
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
