Metal Braces
Metal braces consist of stainless steel brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by an archwire that applies gentle pressure to guide teeth into their proper positions over time. This method effectively addresses various dental concerns, including overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The durability and precision of metal braces make them a preferred choice for achieving optimal alignment, contributing to improved oral health and a confident smile.
How It Works
The orthodontic process with metal braces begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Croxley Green clinic, where we assess your dental structure and discuss your treatment goals. Once a personalized plan is established, metal brackets are meticulously bonded to each tooth’s surface. An archwire is threaded through these brackets, secured with elastic bands, creating a system that exerts continuous, gentle pressure to shift teeth into desired positions. Periodic visits for adjustments are scheduled to modify the wire tension, ensuring teeth move correctly and efficiently throughout the treatment period.
