When you hear the word “braces” the traditional ones most likely come to mind. These metal brackets and wires have become more modern in recent years, making the brackets smaller and less noticeable than the notorious “metal-mouth” braces. Plus, new heat-activated archwires use your body heat to help teeth move more quickly and less painfully than in the past. Dr. T. Kirk Crane, DDS provides a variety of options of straightening your teeth and if braces are indeed the solution for you, he will prescribe an appliance specific for your needs.
Traditional braces have come a long way over the years, becoming sleeker, smaller, and more comfortable. Traditional braces consist of standard metal brackets that are adhered to your teeth with an adhesive connected by wire. They require periodic tightening so pressure can gradually straighten your teeth. The pros of traditional braces is that they are the least expensive type on the orthodontic market and the colored bands may allow you to express yourself regardless of age, however the con is that they are the most noticeable type of braces.
