Train tracks, but more fun than they used to be.
Metal braces consist of brackets, which are small metal square-shaped attachments that are fixed to the front of your teeth, and a metal wire that threads through the brackets to connect them and apply controlled pressure to the teeth to make them move.
The brace system will gradually nudge your teeth into the position decided during the planning stage.
We'll normally see you every 6-8 weeks for adjustments and to check that your teeth are moving as they should.
The latest advancement in brace technology is self-ligating braces. This means we no longer need elastics or ties to secure the wires, because the wire is able to pass through the brackets freely without friction.
As a result, treatment is more comfortable and requires less time.
Thanks to different coloured elastics and materials, they're now seen as a proper accessory for teens, and don't carry the same stigma they used to.

For certain types of tooth movement in more complex cases, your orthodontist might recommend fixed brace treatment instead of Invisalign.
