What are metal brackets?

Metal brackets are the most common and widespread orthodontic technique for years. Made of high-grade stainless steel, they are placed on the front or back of the teeth to align the dental pieces. Their function is the same as any other orthodontic system: move teeth to the correct position, which allows for a good bite and good looks, improving chewing and preventing an incorrect position from making it difficult to care for and clean the teeth.

They are made up of three elements: the wire (wire that applies pressure to move teeth), the ligature (elastic or wire that joins the bracket to the wire) and the bracket itself (marks the rotation to be given to the tooth). Despite advances in orthodontics, metal brackets continue to be the most used due to their great ability to adapt to many cases.

Metal brackets treatment phases

1

Study phase

The specialist carries out an exhaustive analysis of the patient's teeth using scanners, 3D moulds, x-rays and intra and extraoral photographs for a personalised diagnosis.

2

Active phase: cementation and fitting

A dental cleaning (prophylaxis) and acid etching are carried out to create a microporous area where the bracket adheres better. The dental cement is applied, the bracket is fixed to the front of the tooth and any excess is removed. Fitting can be done by direct cementation (one by one) or indirect (fixing the orthodontics previously on patient models).

3

Correction of bite and closing of spaces

The teeth are progressively placed in their correct position. This phase ends when the teeth are perfectly together.

4

Periodic check-ups and finishing

The specialist carries out regular check-ups to determine whether the teeth are in the correct position and makes the necessary adjustments to perfect the dental position.

5

Removal of brackets and retention phase

When all objectives have been achieved, the brackets are removed. After removal, it is necessary to place retainers to ensure the maintenance of the results obtained.

FAQs about metal brackets

Metal brackets are a type of orthodontics made of stainless steel used to align teeth and correct the bite. They use wires and ligatures to apply pressure to the teeth, moving them to the desired position.

During the first few days after fitting and at each adjustment, it is normal to feel discomfort or pressure in the teeth. However, this sensation diminishes over time and the pain is generally manageable.

Metal brackets are more economical, resistant and effective for most cases. They also offer great precision in correcting dental alignment.

It is recommended to avoid hard, sticky or crunchy foods that could damage the brackets or wires.

It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. You must brush your teeth after every meal, use interdental brushes more carefully and frequently, and attend regular dental visits.

Cost varies depending on the case. You can consult the Adeslas orthodontics price list or request a free review with one of our experts for a detailed quote.

Metal brackets are removed when the teeth have reached the correct position, which is confirmed at regular visits with the orthodontist.
