The long-established brace, now slimmer and lighter, and still a strong choice for demanding cases.
Small stainless steel brackets, one per tooth, joined by a thin archwire. That simple set-up has straightened teeth for generations, and today's versions are neater and more comfortable than the braces many parents remember.
The strength of a metal brace is control. Your orthodontist can move each tooth in precise directions, rotate it, and work on how the upper and lower teeth meet. That is why metal braces remain a first choice for more complex crowding and bite problems, at almost any age.
Treatment at our Sevenoaks practice is led by Specialist Orthodontists, with review visits about every six to eight weeks to adjust the wire. You will be shown how to clean around the brackets from day one.
Precise control for severe crowding, rotations and bite correction.
Used for children, teenagers and adults alike.
Typically the most economical fixed option for significant change.
Planned and adjusted by orthodontists with advanced postgraduate training.
