Metal Braces
Home General Dentistry Services
The first thing that might come to mind when you think of braces is probably a smile full of metal and colorful rubber bands. While the basics are still the same, modern metal braces are much more subtle than they once were, offering powerful results with less hardware. Each type of braces offers unique benefits and the team here at Heroes Dental can help you decide which is right for you.
What You Can Expect From Metal Braces From Heroes Dental
Consultation and Planning
Before you get your braces installed, you will go through a consultation and treatment planning process with your dentist.
Placing the Hardware
During your installation process, your dentist will cement brackets on your teeth before placing the wire through the brackets.

Straightening Your Smile
Straightening your smile will take time, and your braces will likely need adjustments during that time as well.
