Metal braces are a reliable orthodontic option, though you may experience some pressure or mild discomfort for a few days after adjustments as your teeth begin to shift.
Contact UsAt Ventana Family Dental, we specialize in traditional metal braces, a time-tested and effective way to straighten teeth for both teens and adults. Metal teeth braces use durable brackets and wires to gently guide teeth into proper alignment, correcting everything from mild crowding to complex bite issues. Unlike removable options, metal braces work around the clock and don’t rely on patient compliance, making them a reliable solution for consistent, long-term results. If you’re looking for trusted experts in metal braces in Katy, TX, our team is here to help you achieve a healthier, straighter smile with personalized care and proven results.
01.
Consultation: Your journey with traditional metal braces begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we evaluate your oral health, discuss your smile goals and determine whether braces are the right solution for you.
Digital Impressions: We use advanced digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D model of your teeth, which helps us plan the placement of brackets and wires for optimal results.
Treatment Plan Design: Using your digital scan, we develop a customized treatment plan to guide tooth movement over time. Most metal braces treatments last between 12 and 24 months, depending on your specific needs.
Bracket & Wire Placement: Once your plan is finalized, we attach metal teeth braces to your teeth using durable brackets and wires. These components work continuously to gently shift your teeth into proper alignment, helping you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
02.
Wearing the Braces: It’s important to follow your orthodontist’s care instructions for cleaning and maintenance.
Regular Checkups: You’ll visit us every five to six weeks so we can monitor your progress, tighten wires if needed and make adjustments to keep your treatment on track.
Completion: Once your teeth have reached their ideal alignment, we’ll remove your braces and evaluate your results. A retainer may be recommended to maintain your new, straighter smile.
Metal braces use fixed brackets and wires to move teeth and are highly effective for complex cases, while Invisalign® uses removable clear aligners that are more discreet and convenient for eating and cleaning. The right option depends on your dental needs and lifestyle.
To care for your teeth with metal braces, brush after every meal, floss daily using a floss threader or water flosser, avoid sticky or hard foods, and visit your dentist and orthodontist regularly for cleanings and adjustments.
The best age to get braces is typically between 10 and 14, when most permanent teeth have come in and the jaw is still developing, but braces can be effective at almost any age.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease while keeping your smile healthy, polished and refreshed with personalized care.
