At Kauai Orthodontics, we offer Metal Braces, the most time-tested and reliable orthodontic treatment available. Whether you’re dealing with crooked teeth, bite issues, or more complex orthodontic concerns, metal braces are a highly effective way to straighten your teeth and achieve a beautiful, confident smile.
What Are Metal Braces?
Metal braces consist of durable stainless steel brackets that are bonded to your teeth. A wire is threaded through the brackets and held in place with tiny elastic bands. The wire applies gentle, constant pressure over time, gradually shifting your teeth into proper alignment. As the wire is adjusted during your treatment, your teeth continue to move toward their correct positions. Metal braces are the most commonly used orthodontic treatment, known for their effectiveness in treating even the most complex cases. The elastic bands used in metal braces come in a variety of colors, allowing you to personalize your look while achieving a beautiful smile.
Why Choose Metal Braces?
- Proven Effectiveness: Metal braces are highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including severe crowding, bite problems, and misalignment. They’re the best choice for complex cases and provide precise, predictable results.
- Durable: Made from stainless steel, metal braces are strong and durable, meaning they can withstand the daily wear and tear of the orthodontic process.
- Affordable: Metal braces are often a more affordable option compared to clear braces or aligners, making them a great choice for patients on a budget.
- Customizable: While metal braces are the most visible option, they can still be personalized with a variety of colorful elastic bands, allowing patients to express their unique style.
