Metal Braces

Train tracks, but more fun than they used to be.

How Do Metal Braces Work?

Metal braces consist of brackets, which are small metal square-shaped attachments fixed to the front of your teeth.

A metal wire threads through the brackets to connect them and applies controlled pressure to your teeth, causing them to move.

Why Choose Metal Braces?

The brace system will gradually nudge your teeth into the position decided during the planning stage.

We'll normally see you every 6-8 weeks for adjustments and to check that your teeth are moving as they should.

Are They Modern?

The latest advancement in brace technology is self-ligating braces. This means we no longer need elastics or ties to secure the wires, because the wire is able to pass through the brackets freely without friction.

As a result, treatment is more comfortable and requires less time.

They Can Be Fun for Kids

Thanks to different coloured elastics and materials, they're now seen as a proper accessory for teens, and don't carry the same stigma they used to.

The Benefits Of Fixed Metal Braces
