Traditional metal braces are now smaller, more comfortable and more efficient. If you start treatment with 3M metal braces, small brackets will be bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. These brackets will be connected with a thin metal archwire and apply gentle pressure to move your teeth into alignment.
At Signature Orthodontics in Birmingham, we offer two advanced metal brace systems:
-
3M Metal Braces – These feature smaller, more comfortable brackets with excellent engineering for efficient tooth movement. The innovative design minimises friction and maximises comfort for Birmingham adults while providing precise control for your orthodontist.
-
Damon Braces – This self-ligating system eliminates the need for elastic bands to hold the wire in place. Instead, Damon braces use a sliding mechanism that reduces friction and may allow for faster treatment with fewer adjustments for Birmingham patients. Many adults appreciate the reduced pressure and potentially shorter treatment times this system can offer.
Both systems represent significant advancements over older metal braces, offering Birmingham adults more comfortable and efficient orthodontic treatment without compromising on results.
