Discover the Magic of Metal Braces
Metal braces offer a beautifully aligned smile that stands the test of time. And today's metal braces are more comfortable than ever, ensuring a more pleasant experience as you work towards straightening your smile.
Let’s take a look at just what goes into your braces at Noble Orthodontics:
Brackets
Brackets are small, square-shaped attachments that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They serve as anchors for the wires and elastics used in your braces treatment.
Wires
Wires are the dynamic force behind your braces. These thin, flexible metal wires apply gentle pressure on your teeth, guiding them into their desired positions over time. Regular adjustments ensure progress toward your ideal smile.
Bands
Bands are metal rings that we’ll place around your back teeth. They provide stability and support to your braces, helping to align your entire bite effectively.
Elastics (Rubber Bands)
We use elastics, or rubber bands, to correct your bite alignment and jaw position. They connect to hooks on the brackets and exert the necessary force to achieve proper alignment.
Springs
We’ll sometimes use springs to create space or close gaps between teeth. They work in conjunction with the wires to encourage tooth movement.
Ligatures
Ligatures are tiny elastic bands that hold the archwire onto the brackets. They come in various colors for a touch of personalization to your braces.
Hooks
Hooks are small attachments on brackets that can be used to fasten elastics or other appliances as needed for your specific treatment plan.
Retainers
While not technically part of your braces, retainers are vital to maintaining your new alignment following treatment. They come in various types, including removable and fixed retainers.
Benefits of Traditional Braces
Traditional braces have been a reliable and popular orthodontic choice for decades, transforming smiles and boosting self-confidence.
At Noble Orthodontics, we're proud to offer this effective solution for getting beautifully aligned teeth. Here are the key benefits of metal braces:
Proven Effectiveness
Traditional braces have a long history of successfully treating many orthodontic issues. Metal braces can deliver remarkable results if you're dealing with crowding, misalignment, bite problems, or more complex cases.
Standout Versatility
One of the standout advantages of metal braces is their versatility. They can address a variety of dental concerns, making them suitable for children, teens, and adults seeking orthodontic treatment.
Reliable Alignment
Metal braces use a combination of brackets and archwires to guide your teeth into their optimal positions. This gives us precise and controlled tooth movement, ensuring that your bite and smile are functional and attractive.
