Still a very popular type of braces, traditional metal braces are brackets attached to patients’ teeth and held together with an archwire. Your orthodontist in Oxnard, CA will place the bracket to a specific spot on your tooth so that, when your treatment is complete, the arch wire will appear perfectly straight. The arch wire is attached to the brackets using tiny rubber bands called ligatures. You can choose whatever colors you want, which makes it fun for holidays or special events.
Braces can correct a wide variety of problems, some of which might even be causing speech impediments. Other conditions include crossbites, underbites, overbites, gaps, overcrowding, and more.
