Traditional metal braces are an effective way to straighten dental misalignment by applying pressure to the teeth and progressively aligning your smile. While you may think metal braces are not for you, this treatment option has decades of proven results and long-term success.
Metal braces are installed once and adjusted throughout the course of treatment for a steady progression. Your orthodontist will secure metal brackets to your teeth and pass a metal wire through them. The metal wire allows the orthodontist to make subtle changes that can produce dramatic results, including correction of an overbite, underbite, overcrowding, and spacing issues.
Why are metal braces a smart choice?
Metal braces are ideal for dental patients who are looking for a budget-friendly option that can effectively straighten their teeth. Advancements in the metal braces procedure and materials mean that brackets are smaller, more durable, and less irritating to the mouth than you might think. You also have the option to personalize your braces with colorful bands that fit around the brackets.
A beautiful smile and the confidence that comes with it is priceless. It’s also very affordable with our limited time promo, braces as low as $89/mo!
Popular alternatives to metal braces
While metal braces are the ideal treatment option for many patients, there are alternatives that may better align with your lifestyle. Absolute Dental also offers the following options:
Clear braces – If you’ve heard of “clear metal braces,” that refers to braces that use clear, ceramic brackets rather than metal. Although they are less noticeable, the brackets are more susceptible to damage.
Invisible braces – Using a series of clear, plastic trays that fit directly over the teeth, you can improve the appearance of your smile in just a few months. This option is best for patients with mild to moderate dental misalignments.
Invisalign – The Invisalign system is a popular orthodontic treatment for adults and others who want a more discreet way to straighten crooked teeth.

Benefits of metal braces
Orthodontic metal braces offer several benefits that set them apart from other orthodontic treatments. The perks of choosing metal braces include the following:
Strong metal materials mean you can treat more severe bite and alignment issues with metal braces
Because metal braces are only installed once, patients don’t have to worry about removing and replacing them throughout treatment
The cost of metal braces is typically lower than other treatment styles
You are less likely to experience damage to metal braces because the materials are durable and made to last
Metal braces are incredibly effective and quickly yield impressive results
Metal braces are often the best option for patients who have trouble with removable orthodontic treatments. With plastic alignment trays, some people forget to reinsert them after eating, damage them while they’re out, or lose them and have to pay for replacements. Metal braces remove these risks and ensure your treatment stays on track.
We accept most dental insurance
If your dental insurance covers all or part of orthodontic treatment, we accept most plans! Call us at (844) 8-SMILE-NOW or contact us online to see what insurance we take. You can also register for our Smile Saver Program to get substantial discounts on essential dental care, cosmetic dentistry services, and orthodontic treatment.
The cost of metal braces will vary depending on the length of treatment and the severity of the misalignment. However, metal braces are often the least expensive option when compared to ceramic braces and invisible braces. Also, treatment costs usually include materials, application, periodic visits to your orthodontist, and follow-up care. Contact us to learn more.
While treatment times depend on the patient, the average length of treatment with metal braces is 24 months. If you only have minor spacing or crowding issues, you will likely be done before that.
You may experience some discomfort in the form of pressure soon after application and adjustments. However, this lessens over time. Talk to your orthodontist if you have any pain during treatment.
Yes! Metal braces are a tried-and-true method for straightening teeth and correcting bite or jaw issues. Your dentist may recommend metal braces to young patients and those who are not good candidates for other treatment options.

Special consideration for metal braces
While metal braces have advantages, there are also things to consider before choosing this treatment. Here’s what you should keep in mind as you discuss options with your metal braces dentist:
Dietary restrictions – There are dietary restrictions with metal braces to prevent damage and staining. If you don’t think you can follow them, metal braces may not be the best choice.
Adjustment period – There is a short adjustment period with metal braces. It could take a few weeks to get used to the metal brackets and wires in your mouth.
Dental hygiene – You will likely need to make changes to your dental hygiene routine to make sure your braces, teeth, and gums stay clean.
