About Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional Metal Braces are a reliable orthodontic treatment used to straighten crowded, crooked, or widely spaced teeth and improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together. Modern braces use smaller brackets and carefully controlled pressure to guide teeth into healthier, more balanced positions over time.
During treatment, metal brackets are attached to the teeth and connected with a thin orthodontic wire. Regular adjustment appointments allow the orthodontist to monitor progress and make gradual changes to the wire as the teeth move. The DentalCare team also provides guidance on brushing, flossing, and protecting the braces throughout treatment.
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of the alignment and bite concerns being corrected. Once the braces are removed, a retainer is usually recommended to help maintain the new tooth positions. With consistent appointments and good home care, traditional braces can create a straighter smile and support healthier long-term function.

Appointment length depends on the service, the condition being treated, and whether additional diagnostic checks are needed. Our team will provide a clearer estimate after reviewing your needs.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Bring details of any medications, medical conditions, recent dental treatment, or symptoms you have noticed. Continue your normal brushing and flossing routine unless the dental team gives you different instructions.
