Metal Braces

Classic Care Meets Cutting-Edge Comfort.

Metal braces offer a reliable and effective way to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. Thanks to advances in materials and design, today’s metal braces are more comfortable, discreet, and efficient than ever before! They provide precise control to guide teeth into their ideal positions, delivering lasting, beautiful results. If you think you or your loved one might need braces, read below to see what conditions to look for and warning signs of misalignment.



Spacing Issues

When teeth don’t have enough room, they overlap and make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of cavities. On the other hand, spaces between teeth can affect your smile’s appearance and can cause speech or biting issues.



Bite Issues & Jaw Alignment

Problems like overbites, underbites, or crossbites can lead to discomfort and uneven wear on your teeth, and misaligned jaws can affect facial symmetry.



Teeth Shifting

After braces or injuries, teeth may move out of place and need correction to restore your smile.



Biting & Speech

Misaligned teeth or jaws can cause difficulties with biting food or clear speech.
