What Are Metal Braces Made Of?
Traditional metal braces consist of several key components:
- Brackets: These small metal pieces are attached to each tooth using a special adhesive. They serve as anchors for the rest of the braces components.
- Bands: Orthodontic bands, typically made of stainless steel, are placed around the back molars to provide additional support.
- Archwires: A thin wire runs through the brackets and applies gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth into their desired positions.
- Elastics: If necessary, elastic bands are used to address specific bite issues by connecting brackets on different teeth.
Brackets
The brackets we use at Ollins Orthodontics are made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring their durability and effectiveness in guiding your teeth into proper alignment. These brackets feature small doors or hooks to secure the archwire in place, optimizing the treatment process.
Bands
Orthodontic bands, which are placed around your molars, provide essential support for your braces. They help distribute the pressure evenly and contribute to the effectiveness of the treatment.
Archwires
Archwires are the workhorses of metal braces. They are responsible for guiding your teeth into their desired positions. Dr. Bruce or Dr. Gabriel will adjust and change these wires throughout your treatment to achieve the best results.
Rubberbands
In some cases, we may use elastic bands to address specific bite issues. These rubberbands connect brackets on different teeth and play a crucial role in aligning your jaws and teeth properly.
