Conventional braces can help you achieve your ideal smile

An Ideal Treatment

There are so many orthodontic treatment options, but not many compare to the time-tested conventional metal braces. Not only are they generally more affordable than other alternatives, they are effective and can sometimes be quicker when fixing specific concerns, especially complex issues.

Metal braces use brackets bonded to each individual tooth to hold the archwires in place and elastic bands to help move teeth into the correct positions.

Many patients are concerned about the appearance of these braces; however, these braces are becoming increasingly discreet. With advancements in orthodontics, brackets are smaller than ever, archwires are thinner and clear elastic bands are available.

However, if you want to add a bit of customisation into your treatment, you can choose the colours of your brackets and rubber bands.

At Straight Orthodontics, we say you shouldn’t worry about the appearance, and instead think about the results you will achieve by having metal braces.

What are metal braces used for?

People use traditional braces to achieve their dream smile, by correcting their teeth!

Traditional braces are excellent at closing gaps between teeth and fixing complex issues regarding the teeth. Issues such as malocclusions, crossbites, openbites, overbites, underbites, crooked teeth, gaps and other tooth and jaw issues.

Braces work to treat these dental issues, by applying continuous pressure to slowly move the teeth in specific directions over the period of the treatment. As your teeth move, your bone will also change shape. The brackets which are bonded to each individual tooth are used to hold the archwires in place. The archwires are the guide for moving teeth and elastic bands are attached to apply pressure to bring the upper and lower teeth together, to achieve an improved fit and better bite.

At Straight Orthodontics, we tailor metal braces to you. We know that every patient’s mouth is different, and everyone has different goals too. This is why we work to fit the treatment to you. Our team will examine your mouth and find the appropriate approach and treatment to help you achieve the smile you want.

Treat both your smile and oral health

Straight teeth are easier to clean, meaning you can easily achieve great dental hygiene.

Braces help to align the jaw and correct bite issues. Helping these two areas, relieves pressure from both your teeth and jawbone, improving mobility. This improvement can be noticed through eating and speaking.

Everyday life

Your life with braces treatment will still be the same, you will still be able to complete all your daily activities, including playing sport, swimming, eating and drinking. But of course, there are foods will tell you to avoid and you will have to spend more time cleaning your mouth. But don’t worry about this, because your smile will benefit!
