Our Premier Treatment Option
Traditional Metal Braces
The most reliable method for complex alignment
Traditional braces are a proven treatment for alignment concerns ranging from crowding and spacing to overbites, underbites and crossbites. High-quality stainless steel brackets and archwires apply steady, gentle pressure to guide teeth into position.
Metal braces are a reliable method for correcting dental misalignments, effectively treating complex bite issues. Consisting of brackets and wires, they provide precise control over tooth movement and are ideal for patients needing significant adjustments.
Today's brackets are smaller, flatter and more comfortable than older systems. They suit teenagers and adults and give your dentist close control over each stage of tooth movement, including complex cases and impacted teeth.
We customise bracket positioning, archwires and elastics around your bite, facial proportions, gums, jaw development and treatment goals.
Why Metal Braces Stand Out
- Highly effective for complex bite issues
- Provide precise control over tooth movement
- Reliable results for overcrowding
- Ideal for significant alignment adjustments
- Designed for modern comfort and efficiency
Why Choose Metal Braces?
Precise, Durable and Predictable Treatment
Traditional braces remain a trusted option because they work around the clock and give your dentist precise control. They can treat concerns that may prove difficult for removable aligners.
◉
Durable Materials
Modern stainless steel and titanium components resist breakage and help keep treatment on track.
✦
Consistent Progress
Braces keep working between appointments and may complete difficult movements faster than removable aligners.

Cost-Effective
Metal braces are often among the most affordable comprehensive orthodontic options for families.
Benefits Beyond Straighter Teeth

- Support jaw alignment, chewing and speech clarity
- Reduce uneven wear on tooth enamel and jaw tension
- Make daily brushing and flossing easier

Care for Every Age
Orthodontic Solutions for the Whole Family
Metal braces can support growing children, teenagers and adults. We choose the timing and approach around each person's development and clinical needs.
Early Intervention
Phase 1 treatment can guide jaw growth, address early bite problems and create room for permanent teeth.
Teen Orthodontics
The teenage years often suit comprehensive braces because treatment can work with natural growth and development.
Adult Braces
Healthy teeth can move at any age. Smaller, low-profile brackets make fixed treatment manageable for adults.
Complex Alignments
Fixed braces can manage severe malocclusions, impacted teeth and other movements that need close control.
Personalised Orthodontic Planning
A Custom Plan for Your Smile and Bite
Before placing a bracket, we map the sequence of tooth movement and consider how your upper and lower teeth meet. We also assess your facial proportions, lip support and the overall shape of your smile.
Your plan may adapt archwires, bracket positions and elastics to your clinical needs. We divide treatment into clear stages so you can follow your progress.
What We Consider
- Crowding and spacing
- Overbites, overjets and crossbites
- Facial symmetry and smile goals
- Gum health and jawbone development
- Efficient treatment timeframes
- Airway space and functional breathing
Your Treatment Journey
What to Expect with Braces
Our team explains each stage, monitors your progress and helps you care for your teeth and appliance at home.
1
Consultation and Records
We examine your teeth and bite, take X-rays, 3D scans and photos where needed, discuss your goals and prepare a treatment plan and estimated timeline.
2
Fitting and Adjustments
We bond the brackets and place the wires. Most patients return every 4 to 8 weeks for progress checks, elastic changes and gentle adjustments.
3
Removal and Retainers
Once your teeth reach their planned positions, we remove the braces and provide custom retainers to help maintain the result.
“I finally decided to get traditional braces as an adult, and the team made the entire process so easy and comfortable. Every adjustment was explained to me, and my new smile looks better than I ever imagined!”

Traditional Metal Braces FAQs
Do traditional metal braces hurt?
Fitting braces does not usually hurt, although you may feel mild soreness or pressure for a few days after fitting and adjustment appointments. Softer foods and suitable over-the-counter pain relief can help. Ask your dentist or pharmacist what is appropriate for you.
How long will I need to wear braces?
Treatment time depends on the complexity of your case. Traditional braces commonly stay in place for 12 to 24 months. We will give you a more specific estimate after your consultation and records.
Are there foods I should avoid?
Avoid hard, sticky and chewy foods that can damage brackets or wires, including hard lollies, popcorn, gum and ice. Cut firm foods such as apples and carrots into small pieces.
Am I too old for metal braces?
No. Healthy teeth can move at any age, and many adults choose fixed braces for reliable treatment of long-standing alignment and bite concerns.
How often will I visit during treatment?
Appointments typically take place every 4 to 8 weeks. We check your progress, change elastics when needed and adjust the wires to continue the planned tooth movement.
Aesthetic & Discreet Options
Additional Orthodontic Treatments
If you are looking for alternatives that blend seamlessly into your daily life, we offer proven aesthetic solutions for both adults and teenagers.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a subtler alternative to traditional metal braces, featuring tooth-colored brackets that blend in with the natural color of your teeth. They deliver the same effective treatment with an aesthetic advantage, making them popular among adults and teens.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
For those seeking a more discreet option, Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that straighten teeth discreetly. Perfect for adults and teenagers, they correct various orthodontic issues without the appearance of conventional braces and allow easy cleaning and eating.
