About Metal Braces
The metal braces system consists of small metal brackets that are fitted to the front of your teeth, with a wire running between them kept in place by small elastic bands. This wire applies gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth into the desired position over time.
Metal braces are one of the most effective orthodontic treatments available and can be used to correct a wide range of alignment and bite issues. They are particularly well-suited for more complex cases where other treatments may not be appropriate.

What to Expect
Your braces are fitted at a single appointment and adjusted at regular check-up visits throughout treatment. You may experience some mild tenderness in the first few days after fitting and adjustments, which settles quickly.
Treatment duration varies depending on your individual case. Your specialist orthodontist will provide a full treatment plan and estimated timeline at your consultation.
