Metal Braces
Metal braces are one of the most widely used and effective orthodontic treatments. They consist of small stainless-steel brackets attached to the teeth and connected by a thin archwire. The wire is periodically adjusted by the orthodontist to guide the teeth into their correct position.
Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than those used in the past, while still being highly effective at treating a wide range of orthodontic issues.
Metal braces can be used to treat conditions such as:
• Crowded teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Bite problems such as overbite or underbite
• Gaps between teeth
Metal braces are commonly used for NHS orthodontic treatment, particularly for children and teenagers who meet the eligibility criteria.
Regular appointments at Redcliffe Orthodontics in Worcester allow the orthodontist to make adjustments and monitor the progress of treatment.
