Treatment Overview
Straighten misaligned teeth, fix severe bite irregularities, and achieve a lifetime confident smile with trusted traditional orthodontic metal braces.
The Time-Tested Gold Standard in Orthodontics
Traditional metal braces remain the most versatile and effective orthodontic treatment for complex dental crowding, deep overbites, underbites, and severe jaw misalignment. Modern stainless-steel and titanium brackets are smaller, flatter, and substantially more comfortable than legacy designs, applying continuous gentle force to guide teeth into ideal harmony.
Key Benefits of Metal Braces
- Handles Complex Malocclusions: Extremely reliable for rotated teeth, severe crossbites, and impacted canines that clear aligners cannot easily resolve.
- 24/7 Continuous Treatment: Non-removable brackets mean you never have to worry about losing aligner trays or forgetting to wear them.
- Fun & Customizable: Choose from dozens of colored elastic bands at each monthly adjustment appointment.
- Cost-Effective: Delivers superior clinical results with the most economical price-point in orthodontic care.
Step-by-Step Treatment Journey
- Orthodontic Diagnostics & OPG / Lateral Ceph X-Rays: Detailed analysis of facial aesthetics, skeletal jaw angles, and teeth roots.
- Precision Bracket Bonding: Miniature medical-grade brackets are bonded individually onto tooth surfaces using safe adhesive.
- Archwire Insertion: High-tech nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape-memory archwires are engaged to begin gentle tooth movement.
- Monthly Progress Adjustments: Periodic 15-minute wire tightening and band changes every 4 to 6 weeks.
- Debonding & Retention: Brackets are polished off, revealing your straight smile, followed by custom retainers to prevent shifting.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Complete your 3D digital intraoral scan and diagnostic orthodontic assessment.
- Ensure all active cavities are filled and a dental cleaning is completed before aligner delivery.
Post-Treatment Care & Instructions
- Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink hot beverages, and brush.
- Clean your aligner trays daily with cool water and a soft toothbrush (never use hot water which warps plastic).
- Switch to the next aligner set in your series every 7 to 14 days as directed by your orthodontist.
- Wear your retainers at night following treatment completion to lock your new smile in place.
