Metal Braces in Suwanee & Cumming, GA
Your Healthiest Smile Starts Its Journey at Walton Orthodontics
Dr. Matt Walton is an experienced orthodontist for metal braces in Suwanee & Cumming, GA. Depending on your age, when someone mentions metal braces as an orthodontic treatment, the picture that probably comes to mind is of a mouth full of metal and wires. Metal bands were placed around each tooth and those bands were connected by wires which had to be tightened every 4-6 weeks. The fact is metal braces used to be a lot more cumbersome than they are now.
You’ll Appreciate the Difference in Today’s Metal Braces
Over the years, metal braces have undergone some rather drastic changes to make them more attractive and comfortable. One of the most important changes came during the 1970s, with the availability of a new adhesive strong enough to hold metal brackets directly on the teeth. At the same time, stainless steel became a popular metal for making braces. Thanks to these changes, today’s braces are considerably less bulky than the ones of yesteryear!

What are Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional braces from Dr. Walton have metal brackets placed on your teeth with a strong adhesive. Every so often, you will need to visit our office to get the wires connecting the brackets tightened. This tightening causes pressure on your teeth – as this pressure is applied your teeth gradually begin to move. In this way, your teeth become straighter and aligned in your jaw.
Even with other braces options available today, conventional metal braces have not lost their popularity. Metal braces in Suwanee & Cumming, GA, are usually less expensive than alternative methods of straightening teeth, so they are still the most common type of braces people choose. Crooked teeth can lead to other problems, such as speech impediments or periodontal disease, so traditional braces are still a good choice. This is also the case if more complicated work needs to be done.
