How long do I need to wear metal braces to correct my teeth?
The duration of wearing metal braces depends on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. On average, patients wear traditional metal braces for 18 to 24 months, but the timeline may vary. Your orthodontist will regularly adjust your braces to ensure steady progress, and they will monitor your teeth’s movement to determine the right time for removal.

Are metal braces more effective than clear aligners?
Metal braces are often considered more effective for treating complex orthodontic issues compared to clear aligners. Traditional metal braces are fixed in place, which allows for precise control over tooth movement, making them ideal for correcting severe misalignment, overcrowding, or bite problems.

How do I care for my teeth while wearing metal braces?
Proper oral care is crucial when wearing metal braces. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, it’s important to brush thoroughly after every meal and use interdental brushes or floss threaders to clean around the metal brackets and wires. Avoid sticky, hard, or crunchy foods that can damage your braces.
