Metal braces are an orthodontic method that has existed for a long time and still remains effective today – giving patients beautiful smiles. Low price, fast treatment time and suitable for all dental conditions are the outstanding advantages of this method.
Metal braces is a dental method that uses a system of wires and brackets made from metal to align teeth and adjust bite.
The principle of metal braces is as follows: the braces are fixed on the teeth and there is a single wire that passes through the bracket groove of each jaw. For traditional metal braces, the wire is fixed to the braces with dental elastic, thereby helping to move the teeth to the correct position.

However, the elastic bands often lose their elasticity after a few weeks or easily fall off, affecting the braces process. To overcome this drawback, self-ligating metal braces were born. This new method uses an automatic sliding cover system to hold the arch wire. The wire can slide freely on the bracket groove so the impact force is evenly distributed on the teeth.
Basically, the above two metal braces methods do not have much difference. But in terms of effectiveness and treatment time, self-ligating metal braces will be slightly better than traditional methods.
Cases that can be treated with metal braces include:
The braces works in conjunction with the wire fixation mechanism to create a pulling force to tighten the teeth. Currently, the archwire fixation mechanism is divided into two types: regular braces and self-ligating braces:
