Reliable, Affordable,
and Incredibly Effective.

Metal braces consist of high-grade stainless steel brackets bonded directly to the surface of each tooth, connected by a thin archwire. As the wire is periodically tightened during monthly adjustment appointments, it applies gentle, controlled pressure that gradually shifts teeth into their ideal positions.

Despite the growth of clear aligner technology, metal braces remain the most clinically effective option for complex orthodontic cases — including severe crowding, significant overbites or underbites, and multi-directional tooth movement. They're also the most affordable orthodontic treatment we offer.

How Metal Braces Work

01

Consultation & X-Rays

We begin with a thorough digital examination, including 3D scanning and X-rays, to map your bite, bone structure, and the precise movements needed to achieve your ideal result.

02

Bracket Placement

Stainless steel brackets are carefully bonded to each tooth using a special adhesive. The archwire is then threaded through the brackets and secured with small elastic ties.

03

Monthly Adjustments

You'll visit us every 4–8 weeks for brief adjustment appointments. We progressively tighten the wire to continue guiding your teeth toward their final positions.

04

Removal & Retainer

Once treatment is complete, brackets and wires are removed and your teeth are polished. Custom retainers are fitted the same day to maintain your beautiful new smile.

Metal Braces Work for
Almost Everyone.

One of the greatest advantages of metal braces is their versatility. Unlike clear aligners, which have limitations on the type and severity of movement they can achieve, metal braces can handle virtually any orthodontic case — from mild spacing to the most complex bite corrections.

We treat patients of all ages with metal braces, though they're particularly popular with children and teens who want the fun of colored elastic ties and don't mind a visible appliance.

  • Any age — children, teens, and adults
  • Severe crowding or spacing
  • Overbite and underbite correction
  • Crossbite and open bite treatment
  • Patients who prefer a fixed appliance
  • Budget-conscious patients seeking proven results
