Metal & ceramic braces
Braces that fit your life
Small, modern brackets that work for every kind of bite, in metal or tooth-coloured ceramic.
How braces work
Braces use small brackets bonded to your teeth and a thin, heat-activated wire that gently guides teeth into place. Today's brackets are smaller and smoother than the braces many parents remember, and most adjustments take 15–20 minutes.
Braces are the most versatile option. They handle complex bites, rotated teeth and jaw-alignment problems, and they work for younger patients who may not wear aligners consistently. Kids can pick colour bands at every visit.
