Self-Ligating Braces in Newcastle, WA

These are the most common type of braces that allow for more accurate alignment of teeth. Self-Ligating braces are even more comfortable today than ever before! Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. You can even add your own style to these types of braces with colored bands.

The least expensive of all types of braces for children, teens or adults are the traditional, stainless steel versions that are bonded to the front of your teeth. The brackets can come in different shapes and sizes depending on the company that makes them. One thing they all have in common is that each bracket has edges known as “wings” which metal or elastic bands can be tied around. These wings are used to hold the orthodontic wire in place.
