Metal braces are a strong, reliable and effective orthodontic treatment designed to gradually move teeth into their correct positions and create a healthier, straighter smile.
Understanding Metal Braces
Metal braces are strong, fixed appliances used in orthodontic treatment.
These traditional fixed metal braces remain the type of treatment most commonly fitted by orthodontists in the UK, particularly for children.
They consist of very small metal brackets attached to a wire that are placed on the front of your teeth.
They are popular with teenagers as they can be brightened up with different colours to make the smile unique.
Metal braces use constant, gentle pressure, which over time, moves teeth into their proper positions.
