Metal Braces Don’t Meddle Around
Metal braces have been a staple in orthodontics for a long time. They always deliver reliable, documented results for all kinds of orthodontic ailments. Modern metal braces have improved, too!
Gone are the bulky versions of the past. Made from high-quality stainless steel, current braces are sleeker, smaller, and more comfortable than ever.
Trusted Results
Metal braces are one of the best options for realigning your teeth. Today’s modern design brings a level of comfort and convenience that you and your family will love. Here’s what makes metal braces at our orthodontic practices a fantastic choice for your smile.
Proven Durability
Metal braces are known for their strength and durability. Made from high-quality stainless steel, they can handle active daily wear and tear, making them ideal for kids and teens. You’ll enjoy fewer trips to our offices in Yakima, Ellensburg, Walla Walla, or La Grande for repairs.
Fewer Office Visits
Our modern metal braces are designed with your busy schedule in mind. They require fewer adjustments, which means fewer visits to our office. We make it easy for you to fit orthodontic care into your life without sacrificing too much time.
Enhanced Comfort
Thanks to advancements in orthodontic design, today’s metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever. With their rounded edges and slim profile, you’ll experience less irritation on your gums and cheeks.
Affordable Treatment
Metal brackets are one of the most budget-friendly options for getting a smile you'll love. They’re more affordable than clear aligners or ceramic braces, making them an accessible choice for families.
Plus, a realigned smile can lead to better oral health by making brushing and flossing easier.
Awesome Alignment
We design our brackets to handle even the most challenging orthodontic issues — they can help with crowding, gaps, overbites, and underbites.
Always Right Where You Need Them
Unlike removable clear aligners, metal braces stay in place, so there’s no risk of misplacing them or forgetting to wear them. Once they’re on, they’re working around the clock to align your teeth so your treatment is worry-free and consistent.
