All About Metal Braces
Metal braces are known for their strength and effectiveness, and the modern design is more comfortable than in years past. That gives you a better experience as you straighten your smile.
Dr. Byrne and Dr. Pinckney can assess your needs to create a personalized treatment for a beautiful, healthy smile. This time-tested orthodontic solution can transform your smile and boost your confidence.
What to Expect With
Classic Braces
They use constant force to shift your teeth gently and can effectively correct nearly any oral issues you encounter. Here's how they work:
Bracket & Wire System
Metal braces are small, sturdy stainless steel brackets attached to your teeth. These brackets act as anchors for the orthodontic treatment. A flexible and bendable metal wire called the archwire, connects these brackets.
Controlled Pressure
The archwire exerts a gentle, consistent pressure on your teeth. Your orthodontist carefully calibrates this pressure to move your teeth into their desired positions. As a result, your teeth will shift and align, creating a more harmonious and functional bite.
Regular Adjustments
Getting a straight smile requires teamwork. Periodic adjustments by Dr. Byrne or Dr. Pinckney ensure your treatment progresses smoothly. During these appointments, we may replace or adjust the archwire to continue guiding your teeth toward optimal alignment.
Addressing Oral Issues
One of the best features of metal braces is their versatility. They can effectively correct most orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
No matter how complex your dental situation is, Dr. Byrne and Dr. Pinckney can customize metal braces to give you a beautiful smile.
Guided Movement
Metal braces work by capitalizing on the natural process of bone remodeling. As pressure is applied to your teeth, bone cells break down and rebuild around your teeth. This allows your teeth to shift into new positions while maintaining a healthy and solid foundation.
Compliance & Care
While metal braces do much of the heavy lifting, your active participation is essential for success. Following our instructions regarding oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, and wearing elastics (if prescribed) will keep your treatment on track.
Gradual Transformation
As the treatment progresses, you'll notice changes in your smile. Your teeth will gradually shift into better alignment, and you'll see the results of your commitment to the process.
The Big Smile Reveal
Once your treatment plan is complete, the moment you've been waiting for arrives. Dr. Byrne or Dr. Pinckney will remove your braces, revealing your stunning new smile. Your hard work and patience pay off when you see your dazzling new smile!
