Metal braces use custom brackets and wires, which are fixed to the front of your teeth for the duration of treatment. They exert gentle pressure, guiding your teeth into their optimum position to give you the straight smile you’ve always wanted. At Melton Orthodontics, we use two types of braces:

At your initial consultation, we’ll show you how metal braces can give you excellent and reliable results.
The team will complete a comprehensive examination, collecting models, x-rays, photographs and scans to allow us to provide your bespoke treatment plan.
We fit your braces onto your teeth. Regular adjustments are made at your progress appointments to ensure the best results.
When treatment is complete, we reveal your new smile! A retainer helps you keep your teeth in their new position.
The length of time you will need to have your metal braces on your teeth varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, metal brace treatment takes around 18-24 months, but we will give you a more accurate estimate during your consultation.
It is best to avoid eating anything too hard, sticky or chewy during your treatment, as this could damage your braces or cause one of the brackets to become dislodged or broken. You should also avoid sugary foods, as these could compromise your oral health and cause staining. Softer foods, and food cut into smaller pieces, are best – you’ll soon be eating comfortably throughout treatment!
Keeping your teeth clean when you have braces fitted can be tricky, and requires care, but is really important to keep your oral health in good condition. Brush your teeth after every meal, using interdental brushes to reach between your brackets and around the wires.
If one or more of your metal brackets breaks, don’t panic! Get in touch with us as soon as possible for advice – we’ll also arrange an appointment so we can get it fixed.
