What are traditional metal braces?

Traditional metal braces consist of metal brackets and wires that apply continuous pressure to straighten teeth over time. They are the most common and reliable orthodontic treatment option.

Why Choose Traditional Metal Braces?

Metal braces have been used in orthodontics for decades and continue to be one of the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for straightening teeth. Modern advancements have made them smaller, more comfortable, and more aesthetically appealing than ever before.

Why Metal Braces Are Ideal for Kids

Effective for All Cases – Works well for simple and complex orthodontic issues.

Lower Cost Compared to Other Options – More budget-friendly than clear aligners or ceramic braces.

Less Responsibility for Kids – Unlike removable aligners, metal braces stay in place, reducing the risk of loss or damage.

Fun Customization Options – Kids can choose different coloured elastics to make their braces unique.

How Do Traditional Metal Braces Work?

Metal braces consist of small brackets attached to the teeth and connected by a thin archwire. These components work together to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions over time.

The Treatment Process

Initial Consultation – Our orthodontist assesses your child's teeth and bite alignment to determine if traditional metal braces are the right option.

Braces Placement – Brackets are bonded to the teeth, and a wire is threaded through them to start the movement process.

Regular Adjustments – Every few weeks, the wire is tightened to continue guiding the teeth into alignment.

Completion & Retention – Once the teeth are aligned, braces are removed, and retainers are provided to maintain results.
