1. What are metal braces?
Metal braces are a method that uses orthodontic appliances made of stainless metal (usually stainless steel) attached to the tooth surfaces. Each bracket is connected by archwires and an elastic system to create traction, gradually moving the teeth into the desired position on the dental arch.
This method provides stable traction, enables good control of orthodontic force, and is recommended by many dentists for complex cases of tooth misalignment.
2. Who should get metal braces?
This method is suitable for:
People with overbites, underbites, protruding teeth, or bite misalignment
Crowded or unevenly erupted teeth
Spaced teeth or gaps between teeth
People seeking cost-effective orthodontic treatment
3. Key advantages of metal braces
