With traditional braces, silver, metal brackets are bonded to the front of your teeth. The brackets can come in different shapes and sizes depending on your treatment’s necessity.

One thing they all have in common is how they are used. Each bracket has edges known as “wings.” Metal or elastic bands are tied around these wings to hold the orthodontic wire in place. The wire is what actually causes the teeth to move, with the bracket serving as an anchor site on each of your teeth. As you move along in your treatment, the wires will be changed out to straighten teeth to your desired result.

Traditional braces are cost-effective and versatile in treatment.
