Braces: Time-Tested, Reliable, and Effective
What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces have been a trusted orthodontic solution for decades, providing a highly effective way to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Made of high-quality metal and wires, braces gradually shift teeth into their ideal position, ensuring a healthier, more aligned smile.
The most common and durable type of braces, metal braces are made from stainless steel brackets and wires. They provide precise control over tooth movement and are often the fastest option for straightening teeth.
How Do Traditional Braces Work?
Braces use a combination of brackets, archwires, and elastic bands to gently apply continuous pressure to the teeth, guiding them into proper alignment. Periodic adjustments help ensure steady progress throughout the treatment process.
