Unveiling the Benefits of Metal Braces
Today's metal braces are far ahead of their predecessors. We use smaller, sleeker brackets and wires tailored to your specific dental needs. Our treatment method results in a faster, more effective, and more comfortable experience for you.
Accelerated Treatment Process
Fixed in place, metal braces tirelessly reshape your smile. As a bonus, they often reduce overall treatment time compared to removable options.
Metal braces work continuously, maintaining your efficient progress toward your perfect smile. They’re also super reliable, exerting consistent pressure for optimal alignment and quicker results.
Enhanced Comfort
Advances in orthodontic materials mean Scott Orthodontics' braces are far more comfortable than older models. We design modern braces to minimize irritation throughout your treatment. Contemporary brackets and wires fit better.
We intend for your journey to your new smile as smooth and pain-free as possible.
Personalized Style
Step into your individuality with various band colors, from vibrant hues to more subdued tones, allowing you to reflect your personal style or spirit. Metal braces at Scott Orthodontics now offer a fun way to make your orthodontic experience uniquely yours with customizable options.
The Anatomy of Metal Braces
Metal braces have several important components that work in harmony to align your teeth. Here’s a closer look at the elements that bring about your smile transformation:
Brackets
Created from durable metals, these brackets are the anchors of your braces, each one meticulously placed by Dr. Greg, Dr. Jon, and Dr. Karan for optimal movement.
Bonding Agent
A special adhesive secures each bracket to your teeth, helping them stay put throughout your treatment journey.
Archwire
This metal guide is the path your teeth follow to alignment — with adjustments made regularly to steer your smile in the right direction.
Colorful Ties
These small but mighty elastic bands hold the archwire in place and add a pop of personality to your braces to bring a little fun to your treatment.
Elastics
These rubber bands fine-tune the position of your teeth and jaw, playing a crucial role in achieving the perfect bite.
Bands
Not everyone needs them, but these rings provide extra support for certain teeth or appliances within your braces setup.
Spacers
These little rings make room for your bands by creating slight gaps between your teeth when needed.
