Why Traditional Metal Braces Is Needed
Recommended to correct malocclusion issues such as crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth that affect both appearance and proper bite function. Left uncorrected, these issues can lead to difficulty cleaning teeth properly, uneven wear, jaw strain, and speech difficulties in some cases.
Signs You May Need Traditional Metal Braces
Signs indicating a need for braces include visibly crooked or overlapping teeth, difficulty biting or chewing food properly, a noticeable overbite or underbite, jaw clicking or discomfort, and gaps between teeth that trap food. Children and adults alike may also be referred after a dentist or orthodontist notices developing alignment issues during a routine check-up.
Types of Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires, while alternatives include ceramic braces (tooth-colored brackets for a less visible look) and self-ligating braces (using a specialized clip mechanism instead of elastic ties to reduce friction). Metal braces remain the most durable and cost-effective option for complex or severe alignment corrections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to wear braces?
Treatment typically takes 18-24 months depending on the complexity of the misalignment, though your orthodontist will give a more specific timeline after your initial assessment.
Are metal braces painful?
Placement itself isn't painful, but soreness for 2-3 days after each monthly adjustment is common as teeth gradually shift; over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods can help during this time.
Can adults get metal braces too?
Yes, braces are effective at any age as long as the teeth and gums are healthy enough to support tooth movement; many adults successfully complete orthodontic treatment.
Are there foods I need to avoid with braces?
Yes, hard, sticky, and chewy foods like nuts, caramel, and hard candies should be avoided as they can damage brackets and wires; your orthodontist will provide a full dietary guide.
Will I need a retainer after braces come off?
Yes, wearing a retainer as prescribed is essential to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position after treatment is complete.
