What Are Metal Braces?

Metal braces are a highly effective and time-tested orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Made from durable stainless steel, they consist of small brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by a thin archwire that gradually moves teeth into alignment.

Despite the rise of alternative options, metal braces remain the gold standard in orthodontics if used by skilled hands, particularly for patients requiring complex corrections. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or bite misalignment, metal teeth braces offer a precise and reliable solution for a beautifully straight smile.

Why Choose Metal Braces?

At Zental, we believe in providing orthodontic solutions that combine proven effectiveness with patient comfort. Here is why so many people in the UK continue to choose metal braces:

Highly Effective for All Cases – Whether correcting mild misalignment or complex orthodontic issues, metal teeth braces provide exceptional results.

Affordable & Cost-Effective – Compared to other treatments, metal braces offer a budget-friendly option without compromising on effectiveness.

Durability & Strength – Made from high-quality stainless steel, metal braces are built to withstand everyday wear and ensure consistent results.

Personalisation Options – Choose from a variety of coloured bands to customise your look or opt for neutral tones for a discreet appearance.

Expert Supervision – Unlike removable aligners, metal teeth braces are constantly working, with regular adjustments guided by expert orthodontists.

The Metal Braces Treatment Process

Straightening your teeth with metal braces is a journey, but with expert-led care at Zental’s London and Milton Keynes clinics, the process is seamless and stress-free.

1. Your Consultation at Zental

Your journey begins with a personalised consultation at Zental, where our expert orthodontists will assess your teeth, take digital scans, and design a bespoke treatment plan using metal braces to achieve your ideal smile.

2. Fitting Your Metal Braces On Your Teeth

During your fitting appointment, brackets are carefully bonded to your teeth, and an archwire is placed to begin the gradual process of moving your teeth into alignment. The procedure is comfortable, and our team ensures you feel at ease throughout.

3. Regular Adjustments for Perfect Results

Every 4–8 weeks, you’ll visit your nearest Zental clinic for adjustments. These check-ups ensure your metal braces continue to guide your teeth into the correct position efficiently and comfortably.

4. Managing Discomfort

Mild discomfort is common after adjustments, but it quickly subsides. Our team provides expert guidance on managing any temporary sensitivity, ensuring your experience with metal teeth braces remains as comfortable as possible.

5. The Final Reveal

Once your teeth have reached their perfect alignment, your metal braces will be removed, unveiling a beautifully straight smile. To maintain your results, we provide a custom retainer to prevent teeth from shifting back over time.
