Braces (Metal / Ceramic)

What are Braces?

Braces (fixed orthodontic appliances) are a dental solution for aligning teeth using a system of brackets (metal or ceramic) fixed onto the teeth, combined with archwires and interarch elastics. This appliance system exerts continuous biological forces, helping to move protruding, recessed, spaced, or crowded teeth into the correct bite position, resulting in a harmonious and beautiful smile.

Common Types of Braces Methods

• Metal Braces: The classic method with the most cost-effective, durable, and powerful alignment capabilities, even for complex misalignments.
• Ceramic Aesthetic Braces: Brackets made from high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural tooth color, ensuring high aesthetics throughout the treatment.
• Self-Ligating Braces: Features an automatic sliding mechanism that holds the archwire in the bracket slot instead of using elastics, reducing friction, discomfort, and shortening treatment time by 3 - 6 months.
• MEAW Technique (Multi-loop Edgewise Archwire): A specialized orthodontic method using multi-loop archwires to successfully treat Class III skeletal discrepancies (severe underbite) or complex open bites without jaw surgery.
