The Power of Braces
Metal braces are the foundation of our orthodontic treatments. They've grown from past solutions and blend the latest technology with reliable techniques to quickly straighten your teeth and correct bite issues.
Dr. Lauren and our team at iSmile Orthodontics use metal braces to sculpt your smile into a great-looking, fully functional, ear-to-ear grin.
Classic Approach,
Comfortable Journey
Modern metal braces combine looks with comfort. No longer the bulky teeth cages of the past, metal braces tackle various orthodontic needs — from straightforward teeth alignment to complex bite adjustments — all in one sleek and comfortable package.
Personalize your treatment with a choice of colored bands to make your orthodontic journey uniquely yours.
The Components of Braces
Brackets
We securely bond these small, robust squares to the front of each tooth. They serve as anchors for the archwire to help guide your teeth through the alignment process.
Archwires
These slim metal wires are important as they connect the brackets. Archwires apply gentle pressure to guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time.
Elastic Ties
We loop elastic ties around each bracket to secure the archwire. During regular adjustment visits, we change them to maintain effective pressure and allow you to add a touch of personality with different color options.
Bands
Also referred to as rubber bands, these focus on correcting bite problems. They extend between the upper and lower teeth and apply the necessary pressure to properly adjust the bite and align the jaw.
Why Choose Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces are a trusted choice for straightening smiles, offering several key advantages:
Effective Results
Metal braces work well for all kinds of teeth problems, big or small. They straighten teeth reliably, helping you see great results.
Strong & Sturdy
Metal braces are tough. They stand up to everyday use, so your journey to a straighter smile stays on track without extra fuss.
Affordable Care
These braces are usually less expensive than other types of braces. This affordability makes them a good choice for anyone looking to improve their smile without spending a lot.
Make Them Yours
You can pick different colors for the bands on your braces. This lets you add your own touch and have some fun while you get a better smile.
Your Orthodontic Journey
At iSmile Orthodontics, we prioritize a patient-first approach, ensuring you and your family feel supported and comfortable throughout your treatment.
Here's what to expect during your journey from consultation to post-treatment care.
Initial Consultation
Your metal braces journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation at iSmile Orthodontics. Dr. Lauren will discuss your dental goals and assess the current condition of your teeth to start planning your personalized treatment.
Customized Treatment Plan
Following your initial consultation, we’ll develop a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will outline every step required to get your new smile, ensuring a clear path to transformation.
Regular Adjustments
Regular visits to our office for adjustments are essential. During these appointments, Dr. Lauren will adjust the tension on your braces to gradually shift your teeth into their perfect positions.
Post-Treatment Care
Once we remove your braces, the journey isn't over. We'll fit you with a retainer to maintain your teeth's new alignment and preserve the beauty of your smile.
