Metal & Self-Ligating Braces - Reliable & Advanced Orthodontic Solutions

What Are Metal Braces?

Metal braces are the most traditional and widely used orthodontic treatment for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Made from high-quality stainless steel, they consist of brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by archwires that gradually shift teeth into the correct position.

What Are Self-Ligating Braces?

Self-ligating braces are an advanced version of traditional metal braces. Instead of elastic bands (ligatures) to hold the archwire in place, they use built-in clips or sliding mechanisms. This design allows smoother tooth movement and often reduces friction during treatment.

Benefits of Self-Ligating Braces

Treatment Duration

The treatment duration generally ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor progress and make adjustments.

Care & Maintenance
