Metal braces are one of the oldest, most common and effective types of braces, and is used to correct tooth crowding, gaps, and malocclusions. It consists of metal braces and wires that are mounted on the teeth and gradually tightened to move the teeth into their correct positions. At the Horizon Medical Care Center in Ibri, We provide metal braces with advanced technologies and high-quality materials to ensure the best results in a timely manner, with personalized care for each patient to ensure a comfortable and efficient experience.
Metal Orthodontic Procedure
At Horizons Center, we are keen to follow organized steps for metal orthodontics:
-
Examination and Evaluation: We perform a comprehensive dental and maxillofacial examination, supported by radiology and images, to determine the type of problem and the appropriate treatment plan.
-
Aligners: We attach the metal braces to the teeth using adhesive, then pass the wires through the braces and secure them with rubber bands.
-
Periodic visits: The patient is seen every 4-6 weeks to adjust the tension and direct the movement of the teeth according to the plan.
-
Care during treatment: Careful instructions are given to keep your teeth and braces clean, and avoid certain solid or sticky foods.
-
Orthodontic removal: After the treatment is complete, we remove the braces and clean the teeth.
-
Fixation phase: The patient is provided with a fixation device (fixed or removable) to maintain the result.
