Take the Proven Path on Your Smile Journey
At Orbach Orthodontics, metal braces are a tried-and-true, durable, and affordable orthodontic solution designed to straighten your teeth and give you the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve.
Because of modern orthodontics, you’ll benefit from metal braces that are smaller, less conspicuous, and more comfortable than ever before.
And modern braces are as versatile as ever at fixing complex tooth issues.
They can work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other treatments, which can potentially shorten your overall treatment time.
How Metal Braces Work
Metal braces are trusted building blocks to your perfect smile — and they work by applying gentle, consistent pressure according to the personalized treatment plan Dr. Orbach develops to help you get a straighter, healthier smile.
Here are the material we use with our modern metal braces at Orbach Orthodontics:
- Brackets: Metal braces feature small brackets that are strategically glued to the front surface of your teeth. These brackets act as anchors for your overall orthodontic treatment — including the archwires — allowing precise control and gradual movement of your teeth.
- Archwires: These are slender wires that connect the brackets and apply gentle pressure to guide your teeth into their ideal positions. These wires play a vital role in the alignment process, ensuring consistent and effective tooth movement throughout your treatment.
- Elastic Ties/O-Rings/Ligatures/Colors: Dr. Orbach uses these tiny rubber rings or bands to attach the archwire to the brackets. Elastics are less rigid than spacers, and you can get them in dozens of colors.
- Elastics: Also known as rubber bands, elastics are sometimes used with metal braces to correct bite irregularities. They create additional force to align your jaws properly and improve your bite. Our orthodontic experts will determine if elastics are necessary for your specific case.
- Spacers: We place these tiny separators between your teeth to create space for attaching the metal braces. They’re typically placed a few days before your braces installation appointment and are removed when the braces are applied.
As you wear your braces, the archwires and brackets work together to gradually move your teeth into their correct alignment. Regular adjustment appointments with Dr. Orbach and our team of experts at Orbach Orthodontics ensure that your treatment progresses smoothly and brings you closer to your dream smile.
