How Metal Braces Work
Metal braces use a system of brackets and archwires to gradually guide teeth into their ideal positions. Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected by a specialized wire that applies gentle, continuous pressure. Over time, this pressure moves the teeth and jaws into proper alignment.
Throughout treatment, patients return periodically for adjustment appointments. During these visits, your orthodontist will monitor progress and make any necessary modifications to keep treatment moving forward as planned.
Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of each case, but most patients wear braces between 12 and 24 months. Once treatment is complete, retainers help maintain your results and protect your investment in your smile.
