Ever popular, effective and affordable

If you assume there’s just one kind of metal dental brace, you’re in for a surprise. Traditional fixed braces remain a stalwart option, particularly for those seeking budget-friendly metal braces. However, there are alternative styles to explore, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. We can delve into these options during your initial consultation.

While perhaps not as prevalent as some subtler alternatives, metal braces still dominate the orthodontic landscape. They’re more cost-effective than ceramic or bespoke metal brackets, making them an excellent choice for children. Plus, they offer a touch of personalization with various colour options, adding a dash of fun to the treatment process!

Best for certain conditions

Sometimes, there’s a clinical necessity for metal brackets, particularly when a patient has a deep overbite. In such cases, the metal brackets help maintain the bite open as the teeth transition to their new alignment.
