Achieve a Straighter, Healthier Smile with Metal Braces
One of the most common orthodontic treatments available, traditional braces work to improve your smile by gradually and gently realigning your teeth.
Our experienced orthodontists, Dr. Ted Struhs and Dr. Brandon Scheer, offer metal braces at our offices in Parker and Castle Rock, CO.
How Do Metal Braces Straighten Your Teeth?
Braces consist of a system of metal brackets, wires, and bands. The brackets are attached to the front of your teeth and connected through the use of metal wires and elastic bands.
As we adjust the wire, the braces gradually guide your teeth into their ideal positions for a beautifully aligned smile.
Ceramic braces are also available for patients seeking a more discreet orthodontic option, as they are designed to blend naturally with the color of your teeth.
How Long Do Metal Braces Take to Straighten Your Teeth?
The length of time it takes for metal braces to straighten your teeth varies depending on your individual needs and orthodontic goals.
On average, treatment time ranges from 12 months to three years. During your initial consultation, Dr. Struhs or Dr. Scheer will review your options and design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your smile. We offer everything from traditional metal braces to clear aligner options such as Invisalign and SureSmile.
Can Braces Damage My Teeth?
Braces are completely safe and have been used for decades as the most reliable method to straighten teeth and correct bite issues.
Thanks to modern orthodontic technology, the materials, adhesives, and techniques used today are more comfortable and effective than ever before.
While braces themselves won’t damage your teeth, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential throughout treatment. Proper brushing and flossing help prevent plaque buildup and protect your teeth from potential decay or staining around the brackets.
