Stainless steel or metal braces are the most popular type of braces.
The two core components of metal braces are brackets (pieces of specially shaped metal) and the main arch wire. Brackets get placed on your teeth and the arch wire is laced through the brackets, connecting them together.
Here’s how it works:
The arch wire is specially bent to reflect the way we want your teeth to look when your braces are removed.
The wire will attempt to return to its original shape, placing pressure on one side of the arch wire, and then the bone on the other side gives way, and the teeth are moved.
