What Are Metal Braces?

Metal braces are the most popular type of visible braces. These traditional braces are generally made of medical-grade stainless steel (most common) or titanium alloys. Sometimes they are also manufactured from a mix of metals such as nickel, chromium, or cobalt.

These traditional dental braces have the following components:

  • Brackets: Brackets are glued to the teeth, binding these components to the tooth surfaces.
  • Archwire: This is the component that connects each bracket and applies consistent pressure on the teeth, guiding them into proper alignment.
  • Ligatures (Elastic Bands): Ligatures are available in different colours. These are ties that hold the archwire on the brackets. This is the only component that changes each time your metal braces are adjusted during a dental appointment.

How Do Metal Braces Work For You?

Metal braces are more than just a collection of tiny metallic components. They are carefully engineered to correct dental alignment issues through precise manipulation, giving you reliable, lasting results.

Traditional dental braces blend the principles of physics and human biology (biomechanics) to align your teeth into proper position. At the core of this treatment (and all other orthodontic treatments) lies the phenomenon of bone remodelling.

Metal braces utilise your body's response to mild, consistent pressure to deliver proven, effective results. The two processes involved are bone resorption (breakdown of bone in selected areas) and bone formation (rebuilding of bone). Together, these two processes shift teeth through the jaw.

What Are The Different Types Of Metal Braces?

Not all metal braces are the same or work the same way. Whether you need something reliable and classic or something efficient and faster, there’s an option built for you and your unique lifestyle.

Traditional Metal Braces

These metal braces are the most common, durable, and efficient. These are highly visible and attached to the front of your teeth. But you can customize the elastic bands to your preference. You can choose any colour you like when customising these metal braces.

Self-Ligating Metal Braces

Self-ligating metal braces use a door system and sliding clips instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. They are more comfortable than traditional metal braces and are easier to clean.

Lingual Metal Braces

Unlike traditional metal braces, these braces are fixed to the back of the teeth. Lingual braces are the most discreet option for you, but maintenance is a bit difficult.

How Do Metal Braces Compare To Teeth Aligners?

Teeth aligners boast a success rate of 88% to 90%, and metal braces have similar statistics. Although aligners and metal braces are equally effective, aligners offer several advantages over braces. For one, you can get a smile without letting others know that you’re undergoing treatment if you opt for teeth aligners. Other advantages include better oral hygiene, fewer dental appointments, and the freedom to eat whatever you want.
