Metal braces are traditional orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaw issues. They consist of small metal brackets bonded to the front of each tooth, connected by a thin archwire. This wire is periodically tightened, applying gentle pressure to guide the teeth into their desired positions over time. Small elastic bands secure the archwire to the brackets. Metal braces have been refined and optimized through the years and they remain one of the most effective, durable, and cost-effective methods for achieving straight teeth and a well-aligned bite.
Treatment duration varies widely depending on your specific orthodontic issues, case complexity, and desired outcomes. On average:
Choosing metal braces in Montclair offers many benefits:
Discomfort: New or adjusted braces can cause temporary tenderness. Brackets might irritate cheeks, lips, or tongue at first. Tightening can make teeth feel pressure. Spacers or bands can also cause initial discomfort.
Proper Care: Brush after meals, floss daily with braces-friendly flossers, use prescribed rinses, avoid hard/sticky foods, wear a mouthguard during sports, attend all adjustment appointments, and use orthodontic wax on irritating areas.
The average cost of metal braces ranges starts at $3,000, affected by case complexity, location, and treatment length. Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage. Coverage may be capped at a set amount or limited by age, and flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts can also be utilized. The team at Dentist of Montclair can go over your insurance coverage with you and let you know what your payment options are.
Once your braces are removed, we recommend a thorough cleaning, and in some cases a teeth whitening treatment. It is important to maintain regular dental checkups and wear your customized retainers as instructed to hold your teeth in their new positions. Even after your teeth have settled, nighttime retainer use is often recommended long-term to prevent shifting.
