Metal braces are the original orthodontic treatment, and they remain a trusted option for straightening smiles. Today’s metal dental braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient, making them an excellent choice for all ages.

What are metal braces?

Metal braces are a tried and true teeth-straightening method. They are extremely cost-effective and can correct even the most complex orthodontic issues, making them a popular choice for both teen and adult braces in Canberra.

If you opt for dental treatment with metal braces, a metal bracket will be fixed to the front of each of your teeth. A metal archwire will run through the brackets, all held together with small rubber bands (elastics). This system puts gentle pressure on your teeth to guide them into alignment.

You will then come in for regular adjustment appointments so that Dr Pazios can modify the shape of your archwire and move your teeth as efficiently as possible. This will help you achieve your dream smile with expert orthodontic care in Canberra.

How can braces
help my smile?

Braces aren’t just for kids and teens. Adults in Canberra are also choosing metal braces to achieve straighter, healthier smiles. Undergoing treatment with braces can enhance your appearance, improve your overall dental and oral health, and boost your confidence at any age.

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and care for, helping to reduce the risk of gum disease, infection, and tooth decay, no matter your stage of life.

Are some orthodontic brackets
more accurate than others?

This is a common misconception. In reality, the accuracy of dental braces has nothing to do with the type of brackets used and everything to do with the archwire. The bends your Specialist Orthodontist makes in the wire are what move the teeth during treatment.

In short, you should worry less about the type of braces and more about the experience of your orthodontist! Luckily for you, Dr Pazios has over 20 years of experience straightening smiles for both adults and younger patients.
