Traditional metal braces have been around longer than any other type of braces! Metal braces use brackets and wires to shift the teeth and jaw bones into alignment. They have small rubber bands (or elastics) wrapped around each bracket to hold the archwire to the bracket.
These elastics come in a variety of different colors. You can get creative with your braces colors or opt for a monochromatic, sleek look by choosing grey, black or other neutral-colored rubber bands.
Metal braces are a popular choice for childrens, teens and adults. They can be used to treat almost any condition, from simple to complex, with traditional braces.
