Metal braces

Conventional fixed metal braces are a popular and well-used choice for teeth straightening.

This is due to their precise straightening and durability. They are used for straightening and correcting a person’s ‘bite.’ They consist of fixed brackets and wires that gently move teeth into an improved position.

Traditional fixed metal braces are used by teenagers and adults and are often used in NHS care when patients are eligible.

Some of the benefits of metal braces include their durability, and the fact they are fixed so there is no need to swap aligners. They are suitable for all cases. It doesn’t matter what the issue is with your teeth, metal braces can resolve it.

Metal braces can be used for:-

• Crooked teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
• Protruding teeth
• Jaw issues
• Irregular eruption of teeth

The metal brackets used are small and discreet and are stuck to the front surface of the teeth with special dental cement. The metal wire is passed through each bracket and held in place with a little elastic. There is a choice of colours for this elastic which means you can personalise your braces to suit you.
