What makes you a good candidate for Metal Braces?
Most people who want braces and are tired of their crooked, misaligned teeth are good candidates for metal braces. The treatment is customized to each individual patient. This ensures that you or a loved one receives the treatment that you need in a way that benefits your smile. Metal braces are comfortable and highly effective at correcting a range of different orthodontic problems. The system relies on brackets that are bonded to the front of your teeth and wiring that is used to apply gentle pressure to the teeth to push them into place.
What can you expect with treatment using Metal Braces?
You will first have a consultation with us. This consultation involves an exam and x-rays to determine the best course of treatment. We will begin by bonding brackets to each tooth. Wiring is placed on these brackets and small rubber bands are tied to each bracket. The wiring is clipped to make the system comfortable for you to wear. You will need to come back once a month to have the wires tightened or changed and the rubber bands swapped out for new ones. We will answer any questions you have regarding treatment at every step of the way.
