What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional metal braces are a time-tested method for correcting misaligned teeth, bite problems, and spacing issues. Made of high-quality stainless steel, they use brackets and archwires to gently guide teeth into their ideal positions over time.

✔ Durable & Strong – Made of high-grade stainless steel for long-lasting results.
✔ Faster Results for Certain Cases – Can be more efficient than clear aligners.
✔ Cost-Effective – More affordable than Invisalign® or ceramic braces.
✔ Works for All Ages – Popular for kids, teens, and adults.
💡 Did you know? Braces treatment typically lasts between 12-24 months, depending on the case.
