What Are Metal Braces?
Metal braces are one of the most recognizable and reliable orthodontic treatments available. Using a series of brackets and wires, they gradually shift your teeth into alignment over time.
Today’s braces are more streamlined and comfortable than ever before. The team at Orthodontic Associates uses high-quality materials and personalized treatment planning to give you the best outcome with less hassle.
