Metal Braces
The Face of Braces
When most people think of orthodontics, they picture metal braces, and for excellent reason. Traditional braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to straighten teeth at any age.
At Smiles by Callaway, metal braces continue to be a top choice for children, teens, and adults alike. They're a proven option for creating confident, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
Why Metal Braces
Work So Well
Metal braces make it straightforward to transform your smile, and they work effectively for almost everyone. At Smiles by Callaway, this time-tested treatment continues to be one of the most effective approaches for correcting alignment and bite issues across all age groups.
Metal braces are particularly valuable when Dr. Callaway needs to make precise tooth movements or when elastic bands are needed to guide your bite into proper position.
Using a system of fixed brackets and wires, braces apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into ideal alignment. They're an excellent option for children, teens, and adults who want dependable, long-lasting results.
built for active lifestyles
Traditional metal braces from Smiles by Callaway are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, providing the strength and durability needed for active lifestyles. The brackets and wires are engineered to withstand everyday wear, making them an ideal choice for children and teens who are always on the move.
Because metal braces are a fixed treatment, they remain securely attached throughout your entire treatment journey. That means no concerns about lost aligners, misplaced trays, or unexpected appliance issues. Just steady, reliable progress toward a healthy, confident smile.
complex cases, reliable solutions
Bite issues, also known as malocclusions, can be challenging to correct, but metal braces are more than up to the task. Dr. Callaway uses this dependable treatment to guide teeth into proper alignment with precision and long-term effectiveness.
Whether you're addressing mild crowding or a more complex bite concern, metal braces are a proven solution for patients of all ages. They provide the control necessary to correct challenging cases and deliver a healthier, more balanced smile.
always working for you
Metal braces don't take breaks, and that's an excellent advantage. As a fixed treatment, they work continuously to guide your teeth into alignment, regardless of what your day brings.
Whether you're sleeping, eating, brushing, or staying active, your braces are consistently working behind the scenes to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile without requiring any extra thought or effort.
Health Benefits Beyond Appearance
Your smile isn't just about aesthetics; it's an important component of your overall health and well-being.
Straightening your teeth with metal braces can make daily brushing and flossing more effective, helping you prevent issues like cavities and gum disease. In some cases, orthodontic treatment can also help improve conditions such as TMJ disorders or sleep apnea, providing long-term relief and enhanced quality of life.
Your Treatment Process
At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Callaway will examine your teeth, review any necessary X-rays, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique smile goals.
Once you're ready to begin, we'll place your braces using safe, proven orthodontic materials. Dr. Callaway will position each bracket with precision, thread the archwire through, and let you select your elastic colors, whether you prefer something subtle or a bold expression of your personality.
After your braces are in place, you'll visit us every four to six weeks so we can monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. Most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months, though some may complete treatment in as little as six months. Since every smile is unique, we'll guide you through a timeline that aligns with your specific needs and goals.
