NE Calgary Metal Braces

A highly versatile method of orthodontic correction using brackets and archwires, metal braces can correct a variety of dental problems such as bite, jaw position, and even severely crooked teeth. Using a wire and bracket system made up of high-grade stainless steel, pressure is exerted to the teeth to move them into the desired position over a period of time. Once on your teeth, braces exert a constant pressure which helps move your teeth into the proper position. At each appointment, your orthodontist may adjust the archwires.

Metal braces are effective at treating overcrowding and give your dentist the control needed to move the teeth in small increments at a time. Most of the time, metal braces are the go-to treatment for severe and serious orthodontic cases.
