Metal braces have been a staple treatment in orthodontics for decades. They consist of metal brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires that gradually move the teeth into alignment. Despite the emergence of newer orthodontic options, metal braces remain a popular choice due to their effectiveness and affordability. Next, we’ll explore the procedures involved, benefits, risks, and why Dentiva Clinic is the ideal choice for metal braces treatment.
The orthodontist conducts a thorough examination of the teeth and jaws to assess the need for braces and develop a customized treatment plan.
Small metal brackets are bonded to the front surface of each tooth using dental adhesive. These brackets serve as anchors for the wires that will guide the movement of the teeth.
An archwire is threaded through the brackets and secured in place with elastic bands or ligatures. The orthodontist adjusts the tension of the wire to apply gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into alignment.
Patients visit the orthodontist periodically for adjustments to the wires and brackets. These adjustments help maintain progress and ensure that the teeth continue to move in the desired direction.
Patients are instructed on how to properly care for their braces, including oral hygiene practices and dietary restrictions to prevent damage to the braces.
Once the desired alignment is achieved, the braces are carefully removed, and any remaining adhesive is polished off the teeth. Patients may then be fitted with retainers to maintain their newly aligned smile.

Treatment time with metal braces usually ranges from 18-24 months. The exact duration depends on factors like the severity of the misalignment and how diligently the patient wears their braces and elastic bands.
Metal braces can cause mild soreness and discomfort for 3-5 days after they are first put on and after each adjustment appointment. Pain relief medication can help manage this temporary pain.
Yes, you can generally continue playing sports and musical instruments with metal braces. A mouthguard is recommended for sports. Be sure to see your orthodontist promptly if a brace becomes damaged.
Yes, you will need to wear a retainer after your braces are removed to hold your teeth in their new corrected positions. A retainer is typically worn full-time for the first 6 months, then nightly after that.
You’ll need to avoid very hard, sticky, crunchy and chewy foods that could damage the braces. Things like nuts, popcorn, hard candy, ice, and chewing gum should be avoided.
You can brush normally but flossing requires using specialized threaders or floss picks to clean between the braces. Excellent oral hygiene is critical with braces. See your dentist regularly.
