Traditional Metal Braces
What are Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces are by far the treatment option that most people are already familiar with. Here, a series of metal brackets are attached to your teeth that are then connected together via a series of wires. Those wires are what shift the teeth into their desired position over time.
Why Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces are a cost-effective, high quality way to correct everything from crowded teeth to irregular spacing to an overbite, an underbite and more.
What is a typical treatment experience with Traditional Metal Braces?
Most people find that traditional braces don’t impact their lifestyle much at all, but they will need to avoid foods that are particularly hard, chewy or sticky for the duration of their treatment.
What is the typical treatment length with Traditional Metal Braces?
This is difficult to answer because everyone is different, but for the most part people wear traditional braces for about two years.

What are Clear Ceramic Braces?
Clear ceramic braces are exactly what they sound like – a braces system where the brackets are made using a ceramic material instead of traditional metal or stainless steel.
