    • An overbite or underbite.
    • Large tooth gaps.

What are the benefits of traditional metal braces?

Traditional metal braces help improve your smile and oral health. They are also:

  • Highly effective: These devices treat a range of teeth and jaw issues, including tough misalignment cases.
  • Fast-acting: Metal braces are continuously working to move your teeth. Most patients wear their devices for 18 to 24 months, depending on their specific needs.
  • Durable: Metal braces are made of high-strength materials that can withstand daily wear and tear from eating and brushing.

    Metal braces are usually less expensive than other options. If you have dental insurance, your provider may cover the cost of your metal braces treatment.
