Metal Braces
Also called “traditional braces,” metal braces have two basic components. These are the metal bracket that is applied to the teeth and the bendable metal wire that is threaded through the brackets in order to apply pressure to the teeth and ultimately move them. This is the type of braces that most patient get, because they are the least expensive braces and are often the fastest way of moving teeth into their ideal locations.
Today’s metal braces are far smaller and less noticeable than they were in the past. New technology has also created wires that move teeth faster and with less pain than in years past. Even you can choose the color of the rubber bands around each bracket to personalize your braces.
