Ortodoncia metalica in Cartagena, Colombia

Metal Braces

Metal braces are an orthodontic treatment that uses metal brackets and archwires to correct tooth alignment and improve bite function. They are commonly used to treat crowding, gaps between teeth, overbite, crossbite, and other malocclusions. The system applies controlled forces to gradually move teeth into a more functional and aligned position.

What are the benefits of metal braces?

Benefits include durability, effectiveness in treating different degrees of malocclusion, and generally lower cost than some aesthetic alternatives. Metal braces can be used for teenagers and adults when oral health is adequate and an orthodontist determines that they are suitable for the case.

How long does treatment with metal braces take?

Treatment often lasts 18 to 24 months, although the duration varies depending on case complexity and how the teeth respond. Regular appointments are needed to adjust the braces and monitor progress. Retainers are usually recommended after treatment to help maintain the results.
