Reliable Metal Braces for Effective Orthodontic Treatment

One of the best benefits of traditional metal braces is the assurance that comes from using a technology that has been around for a long time. Metal braces have been tested and retested, and they have consistently had overwhelming success. There is even evidence that braces date back as far as 300-400 BC! Of course, the style of braces we use today is far more updated, yet even they can be traced as far back as the 17th century! That is still a long time to perfect the science of orthodontics. In short, you can have faith that traditional metal braces are more than adequate to do the job of straightening your or your loved one’s teeth.

Our self-ligating metal braces, like the Damon System and Empower®, utilize patented slide mechanisms to connect archwires to the bracket while allowing the wire to move freely. This reduces friction and improves oral hygiene by eliminating elastic ties. While treatment time can vary, our self-ligating metal braces have been proven to treat faster and require fewer appointments than traditional metal braces.
