How Metal Braces Gradually Align Your Teeth

Metal braces have undergone significant improvements from their older, bulkier versions. Today, they remain a key part of orthodontic treatment, providing a reliable and cost-effective way to achieve a well-aligned smile. Here’s a simplified explanation of how they function:

Application

Orthodontists attach brackets to each tooth and connect them with a thin metal archwire. This updated design not only looks better but also blends more naturally with your teeth, making them less noticeable.

Continuous Adjustment

By applying gentle pressure, braces gradually move your teeth to the correct position. This process involves controlled shifts in your bone structure, allowing for effective alignment over time.

Regular Check-ups

You'll need orthodontic appointments for adjustments, usually involving tightening the archwire. These visits ensure consistent progress in tooth movement.

Modern metal braces offer:

A sleeker design and improved effectiveness in guiding teeth into place.

Components designed for minimal discomfort during treatment.

Better aesthetics, making the braces less obvious compared to older models.
