Metal Braces Treatment

What Are Metal Braces?

Metal braces are the most traditional and widely used orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. They consist of high-grade stainless steel brackets attached to each tooth, connected by archwires that apply gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into proper alignment.

At Tranquil Dental Studio, we use the latest generation of metal braces — smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. Modern metal braces are effective for treating all types of orthodontic issues, from simple crowding to complex bite problems.

Metal braces are an excellent choice for patients of all ages, especially for complex cases where other treatments may not be as effective. At Tranquil Dental Studio, we customize each treatment plan to achieve optimal results.

What Conditions Can Metal Braces Treat?

Underbite

When lower teeth protrude past upper front teeth.

You'll typically visit Tranquil Dental Studio every 4-8 weeks for adjustments. During these visits, we'll change elastics, tighten wires, and monitor your progress.

Do I need to wear retainers after braces?
