Metal braces involve fixing small brackets made of high-grade stainless steel to the surfaces of the teeth and applying force through archwires. It is the most mechanically resilient and effective orthodontic method, ensuring that teeth are guided into their most accurate and functional positions within the jawbone.
Treatment Process :
Orthodontic Analysis: A customized plan is developed using X-rays and digital scans to analyze the dental alignment and jaw structure.
Bracket Placement: The surfaces of the teeth are cleaned, and metal brackets are individually bonded to the front of each tooth using specialized adhesives.
Archwire Insertion: The archwire, which provides the necessary force to move the teeth, is placed through the brackets and secured with small elastic bands.
Monthly Adjustments: Every 4-6 weeks, check-ups are performed to tighten the wires and update the direction of tooth movement.
Retention Phase: After the braces are removed, clear retainers or fixed wires are used to ensure the teeth stay in their new, correct positions.
Benefits and Advantages :
Superior Durability: Due to their metallic structure, they are highly resistant to breakage and are the most robust option against chewing forces.
Fast Results: Their mechanical efficiency in controlling tooth movements often leads to faster results in complex cases compared to other systems.
Versatility: Provides definitive solutions for all orthodontic issues, from simple crowding to the most severe jaw misalignments.
Cost-Effective: The most budget-friendly orthodontic treatment option compared to aesthetic alternatives like clear aligners or lingual braces.
