Conventional Metal Braces for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Metal braces are a trusted and effective orthodontic option for patients of all ages. Today’s braces are smaller, smoother, and much more comfortable than the bulky versions used years ago. They gently guide your teeth into alignment while giving you great control over your smile’s final result.
What are metal braces made of?
Metal braces include small brackets, a thin archwire, and tiny elastic “o-rings” that hold everything in place. While they may be more visible than clear options, they remain one of the most reliable and widely used treatments across the country.
Why choose traditional braces?
- Proven, predictable results
- Effective for simple to complex orthodontic cases
- Great option for children, teens, and adults
- Steady progress you can see over time
There’s no need to feel self-conscious—millions of people wear braces every year, and they blend naturally into everyday life.
If You Experience Minor Soft-Tissue Injuries
Sometimes, patients may accidentally bite their tongue or cheek while adjusting to braces. If this happens:
- Rinse gently with warm water
- Apply clean gauze to control any bleeding
- Contact our office if the injury is severe or does not improve
Our team is here to help with any discomfort or questions throughout your treatment.
