How Do Metal Braces Work?

Metal braces use small brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by a thin arch wire that gently guides teeth into their ideal position over time. Elastic or metal ties hold the wire in place against the brackets, and as treatment progresses, the wire's tension is adjusted to keep the teeth moving in the right direction. This steady, controlled pressure gradually shifts teeth and corrects bite issues over the course of several months to a few years.

Are Traditional Braces Right for Me?

Metal braces are often a great fit for nearly every case, from mild spacing issues to complex bite corrections that other treatments cannot fully address. In fact, they’re often the recommended choice for patients with significant crowding, rotated teeth, or bite problems that require precise control to fix. That said, because they’re fixed in place on the teeth, metal braces also require some amount of discipline, but less than clear aligners. In any case, if you’re looking for an effective, dependable, budget-friendly option, braces could be the move!
