What are Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces rely on a system of brackets and wires that are bonded directly to the teeth. These serve the purpose of moving the teeth into healthier, straighter, more aesthetically pleasing positions. Ideal candidates for braces are individuals who have teeth that are improperly spaced, overcrowded, crooked, overlapping, or that protrude from their mouth. Additionally, people who have an overbite, underbite, open bite, or crossbite are also candidates for dental braces.
The Treatment Process for Braces
When undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces, you can expect to begin with a consultation discussing your individual case and proposed treatment plan. After your consultation, metal brackets will be adhered to the front surface of your teeth. A wire will then be placed over the brackets, and elastic bands will be used to hold it in place. This system will gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions through a series of micromovements. Once the braces have been placed, you will return about every 4 to 6 weeks to have adjustments made as necessary.
How Long Do Braces Take?
The length of your orthodontic treatment will depend upon your individual case, and the estimated treatment timeline will be discussed during your consultation. On average, treatment with braces lasts about 18-36 months, but this is also linked to other factors, including patient compliance, tooth movement, etc.
