Learning About Metal Braces
Metal braces are a cornerstone of orthodontic treatment and have grown and changed over the years. Today, Storms & Swiderski Orthodontics is proud to bring you self-ligating metal braces, a modern twist on the classic solution.
Your Metal Companion
High-grade stainless steel is used to make metal braces, providing a hard-working and durable treatment option. Braces use two main components to correct your smile.
- Brackets: We attach metal brackets directly to your tooth. Think of these as anchor points for the force needed to move your smile.
- Archwire: The wire is then put through each bracket, connecting your teeth to complete your braces.
The wire is normally adjusted every so often when you visit your orthodontist to keep that gentle pressure on your smile. But, with self-ligating braces, they’ll adjust themselves, so you can spend more time doing what you want and not at our office.
The Self-Ligating Difference
Standard metal braces use elastics around your brackets to help hold the wire in place. Self-ligating braces instead use a built-in device that closes around the wire. This device makes your braces less noticeable and more comfortable.
The main advantage of self-ligating metal braces is the fewer amount of adjustments you’ll need during your treatment. This means fewer visits to our office and more time to enjoy your life while on your journey to a perfect smile.
As an added perk, with no elastics, you’ll have less plaque build-up, making keeping your smile clean and healthy a breeze.
Why Choose Metal Braces?
Between all of our options at Storms & Swiderski Orthodontics, you might ask yourself, “Why should I choose metal braces?” Let’s look into some of the benefits of metal braces that might answer your question.
Hard-Working
Metal braces have stood the test of time as one of our best options to tackle a wide range of orthodontic issues. From aligning a few teeth to complicated bite corrections, metal braces offer you a strong solution.
Durable
We use high-grade stainless steel to make metal braces that withstand the wear and tear of everyday life.
Their durability makes them a dependable option throughout your orthodontic journey to keep your treatment moving without unneeded interruptions or frequent adjustments.

Your smile matters, but your budget isn’t something to forget. Metal braces are an often more affordable option for treatment. Don’t worry: Even with being more cost-effective, you won’t compromise quality or results.
