Metal braces

Small stainless-steel brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by an archwire that's adjusted at intervals. It's the most established, most widely used fixed-brace system, and typically the most budget-friendly of the three.

Modern metal brackets are considerably smaller and less bulky than older versions, and can suit a broad range of case complexity.

Which system suits you best depends on the position of your teeth, your bite, your budget and how much visibility bothers you — not on picking a name off a list. We'll go through the honest options for your mouth specifically at a consultation. Results, timelines and suitability vary between individuals.
