Metal braces are a cornerstone of orthodontic treatment — and they’ve developed a lot over the years. Today, they blend cutting-edge technology with time-tested methods to straighten teeth and correct bites efficiently.

At Azalea Orthodontics, Dr. Katras uses metal braces to craft smiles that not only look great but are also healthy and functional.

What Makes Metal Braces Tick

Brackets

We bond these small, durable squares directly to the front of each tooth. They act as anchors for the archwire.

Archwires

These thin, metal wires connect the brackets to apply gentle pressure to guide your teeth into their correct positions.

Elastic Ties

These go around each of your brackets to hold the archwire in place.

Bands

Also known as rubber bands, these correct bite issues by applying pressure between your upper and lower teeth.

Starting on the Right Foot

Metal braces correct misalignments through a detailed process made to meet your individual needs. Here's a closer look at how they bring about your new smile:

  • Initial consultation: Your journey begins with a complete evaluation at Azalea Orthodontics, where Dr. Katras discusses your goals and examines your teeth's current condition.
  • Customized treatment plan: Based on the initial assessment, we then design a treatment plan that outlines the steps to achieve your new smile.
  • Regular adjustments: Every few weeks, you’ll come back to see us to allow us to adjust the tension on the braces, gradually moving your teeth into their perfect positions.
  • Post-treatment care: Once we remove your braces, we'll provide you with a retainer to maintain the alignment of your new smile.

Our approach makes sure each phase of treatment is effective to lead to a beautiful and lasting smile transformation.
