Building Better Smiles for 100 Years
Metal braces are still the most popular treatment at Smiles For Colorado Orthodontics. Dr. Terry and the team have built better smiles in Colorado Springs for decades with metal braces, and you’ll love what they can do for you.
Straighten Your Teeth the Classic Way
Metal braces are a tried and true method to straighten and correct your smile. Composed of high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires, metal braces guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time.
With their durability and effectiveness, Dr. Terry has used metal braces to help countless Colorado Springs patients unlock stunning smiles.
The Building Blocks of a Beautiful Smile
Metal braces come in three main parts:
- Stainless Steel Brackets: These small, strong brackets attach to the front surface of your teeth with special dental adhesive. They anchor the wires that gently move your teeth into the desired position.
- Archwires: The archwires thread through the brackets and act as the main force behind your tooth movement. As Dr. Terry adjusts and tightens the archwires, your teeth shift into the perfect positions over time.
- Elastics: These bands go around the brackets and can be customized to suit your style. You can choose or change your favorite colors at each appointment for a fresh, vibrant look.
How Metal Braces Work
Metal braces apply gentle and continuous pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into proper alignment.
Here's how it works:
- Orthodontic Evaluation: Dr. Terry will assess your teeth and develop a personalized treatment plan during your consultation at Smiles for Colorado.
- Bracket Placement: Once your treatment plan is established, Dr. Terry will bond the brackets to the front surface of your teeth using dental adhesive. Each bracket is perfectly placed to stimulate your smile.
- Archwire Placement: Dr. Terry threads the archwire through the brackets once the brackets are in place. The archwire guides your teeth into alignment by exerting gentle pressure.
- Adjustments and Progress: Throughout your treatment, you'll visit Smiles for Colorado from time to time to have your metal braces adjusted. Dr. Terry will tighten or replace the archwire as needed to continue the progress toward your perfect smile.
