Traditional braces are a tried and true treatment. That’s why they’re the most recognizable symbol of orthodontics in Lake Jackson and the surrounding area! These orthodontic workhorses have a long history of successful treatment and are great at correcting many oral issues, from simple to complex.
At Lake Jackson Orthodontics, metal braces continue to be the top orthodontic treatment option for patients of all ages.
Traditional braces work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other treatments might, potentially shortening your treatment time! Metal braces are also a cost-effective option since they don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that many newer treatments do. This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. Now you can choose brackets that are clear or metallic colors. You can even choose the color of ties that hold the wire in the brackets!
Brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth and connect to one another by an archwire, helping to guide your teeth where Dr. McGrory wants them to move. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.
