What are Stainless Steel Braces?
They are made of Stainless Steel and are the most common type of Braces chosen by patients.

Do Stainless Steel Braces still look like train tracks?
Modern Braces look much less bulky and less noticeable. Braces no longer look like "train tracks" running across your teeth. Today, Braces are available in a variety of shapes and colors. You can even customise your O-ring colours each time you visit.

What are they comprised of?
Braces are comprised of brackets, high tech alloy arch wires and O-rings.

Brackets – Are the pieces of specially shaped metal which are attached to each tooth to accurately and predictably move the tooth. Brackets are the most visible part of Braces.

Arch Wires – Are the thin high tech alloy wires that thread through the brackets. During treatment the arch wire is adjusted, moving the teeth into the correct position.

O-rings - Are the small rubber rings that hold the wire in place on the bracket.
