For decades, traditional metal braces have been able to significantly improve the appearance and function of a patient’s smile. Specifically, the treatment has been an effective option for straightening “crooked” teeth and correcting bite irregularities. For patients with certain types of orthodontic conditions that make them feel self-conscious about their appearance, traditional metal braces may be an ideal solution to successfully enhance smile aesthetics.
Traditional braces consist of metal brackets adhered to the front of the teeth, connected by metal wires. In some cases, metal braces may be recommended to address particularly severe orthodontic issues, such as significantly misaligned teeth or pronounced bite misalignment. Highly durable braces can be effective by adjusting the position of your teeth to create a straighter-looking smile. The treatment can even correct an underbite or overbite for improved functionality.
