Metal Braces Cost
The cost of metal braces varies depending on the complexity of the case.
Length of Appointment
Treatment with metal braces usually takes about 18 to 24 months on average, although this timeframe can change based on how complicated your orthodontic problems are. Your orthodontist will consistently adjust your braces to ensure that your teeth are progressing steadily, and they will keep an eye on the movement of your teeth to determine when it's the right moment to take them off.
Level of Discomfort
Some discomfort is common during the first few days after getting braces or after adjustments, but this feeling lessens as you adapt to the pressure.
The Reliable and Proven Choice for Straightening Teeth
Metal Braces
Metal braces are a well-known and trusted solution for correcting crooked teeth and bite issues. Made from durable stainless steel, these braces consist of brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by a wire that gradually moves your teeth into the proper alignment. Routine adjustments help maintain the right amount of pressure for the best results. Metal braces are suitable for patients of any age and can address a range of orthodontic problems, from slight gaps to severe crowding and misalignment. Although they are visible, metal braces are effective, long-lasting and often the fastest way to achieve a straighter smile.
Can adults wear metal braces?
Yes! Metal braces are effective for both adults and kids, and they deliver great results.
How often will I need to adjust my braces?
You will likely require adjustments every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure your treatment stays on track.
Can I still eat my favorite foods with metal braces?
You should avoid hard or sticky foods that might damage your braces; however, most soft foods are acceptable.
