So, you need braces. Well, you’ve come to the right place! At Class 1 Orthodontics, our Specialist Orthodontists have been straightening teeth for more than 20 years. They know a thing or two about the different appliances available and which one would be best for you.
For many of our patients, the traditional method of metal braces is still a great option. Here’s how they work.
Metal braces are what most people associate with orthodontic treatment. They have brackets attached to the front of your teeth with a thin archwire connecting them. The method also uses elastic bands which help to apply gentle pressure to the brackets and archwires to move your teeth into position.
It’s a relatively simple method which is incredibly effective and one we continue to get great results with.
Metal braces are suitable for everyone. They can fix both major and minor orthodontic problems in children, teens and adults. Children can also have fun with them by choosing different coloured elastic bands to liven up their braces.
Other orthodontic appliances on the market, such as clear braces and Invisalign have meant metal braces sometimes get overlooked by patients. This is understandable because to be fair, metal braces aren’t the most discreet of treatment options. The brackets and archwires are visible and you can’t take them off to brush and floss your teeth, like you can with Invisalign aligners.
That’s not to say they don’t have their benefits. At Class 1 Orthodontics, we believe metal braces have a lot going for them. Here’s why:
