What are metal braces?

Metal braces are a classic in the world of orthodontics, and are an important part of orthodontic oral health. They help by aligning your teeth and jaw for better aesthetics and by also improving your quality of life. At Think Dental Group in Flushing, New York our braces are made up of metal brackets, an archwire, and colorful elastic bands. And they work by putting constant, gentle pressure on your teeth over longer periods of time in order to correctively shape your jaw.

Braces are a great way to improve your smile and dental health. You’ll never be short on options since here at Think Dental Group in Flushing, New York we offer several different types of traditional braces:

• Metal or traditional braces: these are the type of braces that you know.

• Lingual braces: also known as “hidden” braces, these are similar to traditional braces, but they’re placed behind the teeth, hidden from view.

• Ceramic braces: or “clear” braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets and archwires to provide a nearly invisible look.
