Metal Braces in Birmingham

The Treatment Process 

When fitting your metal braces, your Birmingham orthodontic specialist will prepare your teeth by adding bonding “glue” so they can attach the metal brackets to the surface of the teeth. After setting the bond, an archwire will be placed through the braces using small elastic bands. 

Fitting traditional braces is quite a straightforward process and it only takes a few hours. Furthermore, it is not painful although you may experience a little soreness during the first week as you adjust to wearing your new metal braces.

Why Choose Metal Braces? 

The advancements in braces technology have precipitated the emergence of different braces that can help you achieve that perfect smile. But despite there being lots of options to choose from, many patients still rely on the “good old” metal braces. There are several reasons behind this.

They are more effective at fixing serious orthodontic issues

Traditional braces are more conspicuous and less attractive than Invisalign or ceramic braces. However, our team at Orthodontics For You (and other orthodontic experts) still regard traditional braces to be the most effective way of fixing severe orthodontic problems for our patients in Birmingham. They can help correct a wide range of issues, such as: 

• Overcrowding
• Misalignment
• Underbites and overbites
• Crossbites
• Protruding teeth
• Spacing

They look better than ever

Unlike the old-fashioned braces, today’s metal braces are less likely to give you a “metal mouth” appearance. This is because they are thinner and more visually appealing than their predecessors. In addition, traditional braces now have lots of colour options for their brackets and elastics.

They are less expensive

If you are looking to minimise the cost of your orthodontic care, traditional braces may be the way to go. They are more affordable than ceramic or clear braces, providing you with considerable savings. And, with our flexible payment plans, you are sure to obtain the orthodontic solutions you need at a very reasonable price.

They last a long time

Metal braces are also known for their durability. Incredibly strong, traditional braces are designed to last throughout your course of treatment. Because they are often made of steel and/or titanium, you can be sure that they will be able to easily withstand everyday wear and tear and thus serve their purpose for a very long time.

They produce quick results

As traditional braces are quite effective at solving serious orthodontic problems, they can produce quicker results. Most patients wear these braces for up to three years, but some see the benefits of straighter teeth in as little as one year. The fact that you cannot remove or misplace these braces adds to their effectiveness.

They promote excellent oral health

Similar to other teeth straightening methods, metal braces can protect you from potential injuries and chronic conditions. Because they are easier to brush, straighter teeth can help you avoid tooth decay, bad breath and gum disease.

Pricing 

Traditional braces are an excellent solution for a wide range of orthodontic problems. And, due to the many benefits they offer, they are certainly well worth the investment.

At Orthodontics For You, we believe that high-quality orthodontic care should be accessible to all. As such, we offer various payment options, including interest-free payments, to make it easier for our patients to manage the cost of their treatment. 

If you are planning to have metal braces fitted in Birmingham, we can offer you payment plans that will suit your needs and budget. For example, rather than paying the fees upfront, you can spread the cost of our orthodontic work over the course of your treatment. In this way, it will be easier for you to make the necessary payments.
