Metal braces are the traditional "train track" braces. They consist of small metal brackets which are fitted to the front of your teeth with a wire running between them kept in place by small elastic bands.

Metal braces are still widely use and are very effective. Modern technologies and techniques mean these braces are smaller, more comfortable and often faster than they used to be.

Please contact our practice in Rochdale if you would like more information or to book an appointment. We will be happy to discuss these and other treatments options with you, to decide what is right for your individual needs.
