Metal Braces

Metal braces are a popular choice for patients of all ages. Today's metal braces are smaller, lower profile, and more comfortable than they used to be.

Types of Metal Braces in Our Practice

There are a few different kinds of metal braces. We use both traditional metal brackets and self-ligating metal brackets. At your consultation, we'll choose the type that best fits your treatment needs.

Traditional Metal Braces - Metal brackets with a separate tie that holds the wire in place. Those ties can be silver, clear, or colored.

Self-Ligating Metal Braces - Metal brackets with small built-in doors that hold the wire in place.
