Today’s metal braces are dramatically different from the bulky appliances of the past. Modern metal braces feature smaller brackets, smoother surfaces, and advanced wire technology that makes treatment more comfortable and efficient for children.
Our metal braces use premium stainless steel brackets designed specifically for pediatric patients. These brackets are smaller and have rounded edges to minimize irritation while providing excellent durability. The high-quality construction ensures the braces can withstand the active lifestyle of children and teens. Advanced wire technology is a key component of modern metal braces. These wires apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth efficiently while reducing discomfort. The improved design means fewer emergency appointments and more predictable results throughout treatment.
Metal braces also offer the unique advantage of colorful elastic bands that allow children to personalize their treatment. These fun colors can be changed at each appointment, letting kids express their personality and feel more excited about their orthodontic journey.
Stainless steel construction provides the durability needed for treating complex orthodontic problems.
Decades of successful treatment demonstrate the effectiveness of metal braces for all ages.
Metal braces often provide the most economical option for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Metal braces remain the gold standard for orthodontic treatment because they can address virtually any tooth alignment or bite problem. Their versatility makes them suitable for treating severe crowding, large gaps, rotated teeth, and complex bite issues that other treatments cannot handle effectively.
Unlike removable appliances, metal braces work continuously without relying on patient compliance. This makes them ideal for younger children who might not be ready for the responsibility of removable aligners. The brackets stay in place 24/7, ensuring consistent progress toward the desired result. Metal braces also provide orthodontists with precise control over tooth movement. The system allows for fine adjustments and complex movements that create optimal results. This level of control is particularly important for treating challenging cases that require significant tooth movement.
The durability of metal braces makes them perfect for active children and teens who participate in sports or other physical activities. With proper protection, metal braces can withstand the demands of an active lifestyle while continuing to work effectively.

Getting metal braces involves several carefully planned steps designed to ensure your child receives the best possible care and results. We take time to explain each phase and answer any questions you or your child may have.
The initial consultation includes a comprehensive examination of your child’s teeth, jaw, and bite relationships. We’ll take X-rays and digital impressions to create a detailed treatment plan. This planning phase helps us predict the final outcome and determine the best approach for your child’s specific needs. The bracket placement appointment typically takes 60-90 minutes and involves carefully bonding each bracket to the teeth. The process is comfortable and pain-free, though your child may experience mild soreness for a few days afterward. We provide detailed instructions for caring for metal braces and managing any initial discomfort.
Regular adjustment appointments are scheduled every 4-8 weeks throughout treatment. These visits allow us to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to continue moving teeth toward their ideal positions. Most children look forward to these appointments as an opportunity to choose new colors for their elastic bands.
