Metal Braces Key Facts
  1. Effective Teeth Straightening
    Metal braces are a time-tested solution for various orthodontic problems, including gaps, crowding, overbites, and underbites. Whether you're a child, teen or an adult, metal braces can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

  2. Affordable Option
    Metal braces are typically the most cost-effective orthodontic treatment compared to clear aligners or lingual braces. Glow Orthodontics also offers flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible.

  3. Durable and Reliable
    Modern metal braces are crafted from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel. This ensures they're strong, durable, and can withstand the pressure needed for effective tooth movement throughout your treatment.

Understanding Metal Braces: Parts & Function
  • Brackets (metal braces squares on teeth)

  • Archwire (metal wire in braces)

  • Ligatures (elastic ties for braces)

The Role of Stainless Steel Brackets

These small metal or clear squares are bonded to the front surface of each tooth. They act as anchors, providing a secure grip for each tooth to be moved into the ideal position in your smile.

Dynamics of Archwires

This thin, flexible metal wire is the real muscle behind the movement. The archwire connects all the brackets and is gradually adjusted to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions.

Unstoppable fun with colourful elastic ties

The sky's the limit with braces colours you can get! Design your perfect colour combination based on your mood, fashion style, sporting team, and match them with your friends!

These colourful elastics (also sometimes clear or metal) are the unsung heroes. They hold the archwire securely in the brackets, applying constant pressure for tooth movement.
