Metal braces are a traditional and highly effective orthodontic treatment used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. These braces consist of metal brackets that are affixed to the teeth, connected by wires and held in place with small rubber bands. Dr. Arti Gupta, an experienced orthodontist, highlights that while metal braces are often associated with a more noticeable appearance, they remain one of the most reliable and cost-effective options for achieving lasting teeth alignment. The braces work by gradually applying gentle pressure to the teeth, shifting them into better positions over time. Metal braces are particularly suitable for patients with more complex orthodontic issues, such as severe overcrowding or significant bite problems. Despite their visibility, they offer significant benefits in terms of treatment efficiency, durability, and predictability, making them a popular choice for both children and adults seeking to improve their oral health and smile.
