Fixed treatment for growing and adult smiles
At Jane Clair Dental, metal braces near you are often recommended for patients who want a dependable orthodontic option that can handle a wide variety of alignment and bite concerns. Because they are fixed in place, they keep working all day and night without relying on patient compliance the way removable options do.
Treatment usually involves brackets attached to the teeth, an archwire that guides tooth movement, and regular adjustment visits to keep the process moving in the right direction. Some patients may also need elastics as part of their treatment plan to help improve bite correction.
What treatment may include
Our North York dental clinic on Jane St focuses on treatment planning that improves both smile aesthetics and function.
- Brackets, wires, and regular adjustments
- Bite correction and alignment monitoring
Who Can Benefit from Metal Braces?
Metal braces may be a good option for patients with:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Overbite or underbite concerns
- Crossbite or open bite issues
- More complex orthodontic needs
They are especially useful when precise tooth movement and strong appliance control are important.
Caring for Metal Braces
Keeping your braces clean is an important part of successful treatment. Food and plaque can collect around brackets and wires more easily, so daily home care matters.
Brush carefully after meals, floss with the right tools, and keep up with regular orthodontic visits. It is also important to avoid very hard or sticky foods that can damage brackets or wires.
- Brush and floss carefully
- Avoid hard and sticky foods
- Keep all adjustment visits
