Metal braces are the most proven way to move teeth: small steel brackets bonded to each tooth and a wire that, adjustment after adjustment, guides your smile into place. They are durable, work for almost any case and are usually the most affordable option.
Who is it for?
- Children, teens and adults with crowded, gapped or crooked teeth.
- Bite problems: open bite, crossbite, deep bite or mild to moderate underbite.
- Complex cases that need maximum control of tooth movement.
How long does it take?
Many treatments take 12 to 24 months, with check-ups roughly every 4 to 6 weeks. Your actual timeline depends on your case and is set at your consultation.
What’s the process?
- Consultation: clinical exam and records to plan your treatment.
- Braces placed in one painless visit.
- Periodic adjustments to move teeth in a controlled way.
- Braces removed and retainers delivered to keep the result.
Care tips
- Brush after every meal and use an interdental brush.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods (ice, hard candy, popcorn) that can pop off a bracket.
- If a bracket comes loose or a wire pokes, message us on WhatsApp.
Questions about metal braces
Does getting braces hurt?
Placing them doesn’t hurt. Pressure or mild soreness in the first days and after each adjustment is normal; it usually fades in 2 to 4 days.
Can I eat normally?
Almost everything, with care. Avoid very hard or sticky foods and cut firm foods into small pieces.
