Using a series of buttons (“brackets”) placed on the teeth and wires (“archwires”) connected to them – as well as elastics, small rubber chains, and other important tools for treatment – conventional metal braces put gentle tension on the teeth and jaw to guide them into their correct alignment.
While they may lack the discretion offered by treatment with clear aligners, like Invisalign, and internal (lingual) braces, metal braces are one of the most reliable methods of treatment and have little to no limitations when it comes to treating a range of orthodontic concerns.
