What Are the Benefits of Metal Braces?

Metal braces offer a multitude of benefits as perhaps the most established treatment option for people seeking to achieve straight and well-aligned teeth. Benefits include:

  • Improved Oral Health - Orthodontic metal braces align teeth, reduce gaps, correct bite issues to improve oral hygiene, minimise tooth wear and damage, and make dental care more manageable.
  • Strong and Durable - Metal braces consist of high-quality stainless steel or titanium materials known for their strength, durability, and ability to resist breakage.
  • Variety of Uses - Metal braces are versatile and can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic problems both mild and severe, including jaw misalignment, overcrowding, gaps, protruding teeth, and an underbite, among others.
  • Affordability – This is the most economical option among other types of braces.

How Do I Take Care of My Metal Braces?

Taking proper care of metal braces is crucial to maintaining the timeline and outcome of the orthodontic treatment. It involves practicing good oral hygiene, such as thoroughly brushing the teeth and cleaning the brackets and wires, regular flossing; limiting sugary, sticky, and hard foods, and going to dental clinic for regular visits and cleanings.
