Braces

Traditional metal braces straighten teeth efficiently using high-grade stainless steel brackets bonded to each tooth for precise, controlled movement.

Straighten Your Smile with Metal Braces

Metal braces remain the most common and trusted orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth. At Smile Care Dental Group, we use modern high-grade stainless steel braces that are significantly smaller and more comfortable than older versions.

Each orthodontic bracket is individually bonded to the front of each tooth, creating a system that allows for efficient and highly controllable tooth movement. This precision means we can guide your teeth exactly where they need to go for a healthy, beautiful smile.

Today's metal braces have a much lower profile than those from years past, making them more comfortable to wear and less noticeable. They're an excellent choice for patients of all ages who want reliable, effective orthodontic treatment.

Whether you're correcting crowding, gaps, bite issues, or other alignment concerns, metal braces offer proven results that last a lifetime.

How it works

Initial Consultation

We'll examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan showing how braces will straighten your smile.

Bracket Placement

Each orthodontic bracket is carefully bonded to the front of your teeth. The process is comfortable and typically takes about an hour.

Regular Adjustments

You'll visit us every 4-8 weeks so we can adjust your braces and monitor your progress as your teeth gradually move into position.

Braces Removal & Retention

Once your teeth are beautifully aligned, we'll remove your braces and fit you with a retainer to maintain your new smile.

Common questions

Will braces hurt?+

You may feel some pressure and mild soreness for a few days after getting braces and after adjustment appointments. This is normal and means your teeth are moving. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods help during this brief adjustment period.

How long will I need to wear braces?+

Treatment time varies based on your individual needs, but most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. We'll give you a personalized timeline during your consultation.

Can I still play sports and instruments with braces?+

Yes! We recommend wearing a mouthguard for contact sports to protect your braces and mouth. Most patients adjust to playing instruments within a few weeks of getting braces.
