Why choose metal braces?

Metal braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct complex dental alignment issues. Each bracket and wire combination applies accurate, continuous pressure to move teeth gradually into their ideal position.

‍

Metal braces are suitable for a wide range of orthodontic problems, including severe misalignments, bite issues and teeth that are difficult to move with removable aligners. They are especially recommended for patients who require full control over tooth movement or have complex dental cases.

Metal braces are highly effective, and specialist oversight provides the most precise control and ensures safety.

Dr Maha’s GDC-registered Specialist Orthodontist status, combined with years of hospital and clinical experience, means every adjustment is carefully planned and monitored for optimal outcomes.

What problems can metal braces correct?

Metal braces can address:

‍

Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbite, underbite or crossbite
Complex misalignments affecting function or aesthetics
