The most popular form of braces is traditional metal braces, which are more comfortable than ever before. Metal braces use metal brackets and arch-wires to straighten the teeth and are made of high-grade stainless steel. Coloured elastics (rubber bands) may be added to metal braces to create a more unique and vibrant smile.
They must be tightened every 4-6 weeks in order for consistent pressure to gradually straighten your teeth and balance your jaw.
