Metal braces in North Miami are still the most popular way to straighten teeth. They work for people with different alignment issues and treatment goals. At Specialty Smiles we know metal braces are a tried and true method that has straightened millions of smiles and has a great track record of being durable, effective and predictable.
Modern metal braces are made with high quality stainless steel that is stronger and more biocompatible than the materials used in older orthodontic systems. These modern brackets use special dental adhesives to stick to your teeth. They stay in place during treatment and can be safely removed after your orthodontic adventure is over.
Traditional metal braces work by applying gentle constant pressure to your teeth to slowly move them into place over time. The archwire connects all the brackets, making one system that distributes forces evenly across your teeth and lets you control the movement and placement of each tooth.
Metal braces can be used to treat almost any orthodontic problem, from simple spacing issues to more complex ones that involve severe crowding, bite problems or teeth that need to be moved a lot. This means even patients with tough cases can get great results with tried and true orthodontic technology.
One of the best things about metal braces is they are usually cheaper to start with than newer treatment options and work just as well. Families that want to improve their dental health without breaking the bank can get good orthodontic care because it’s affordable.
