Metal Braces

Staff with Patient

In the “old days,” metal braces were not just brackets, but bands that wrapped around the entire tooth. Nowadays, people wear small metal brackets that are glued to the front of each tooth (a big improvement!) Those old-fashioned bands are usually reserved for molars or teeth with fillings that spill to the outside surface of a tooth. Metal brackets tend to be less expensive than other types of brackets. In addition, you can make them colorful with ligatures that come on a rainbow of colors.

Advantages of Metal Braces

  • Metal brackets tend to be the least expensive of all the types of braces.
  • They tend to take the least amount of time among all the types of braces.
