Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces comprise metal brackets and wires, though the brackets are far smaller and less noticeable than you might think. Tried and tested over many years of development, they produce excellent results. They are ideal for both adults and children – and youngsters, in particular, favour them because they can choose from a wide range of coloured bands to create their own individual look. We also offer self-ligating brackets. Although self-ligating braces look very similar to traditional metal braces, there is a distinct difference. Instead of using small elastic bands to attach the wire to your brace’s brackets, self-ligating braces feature a small spring clip.

Iconix champagne-coloured brackets genuinely offer the best of both worlds – the durability of metal braces and the aesthetics of “white” gold. Many of our adult patients choose Iconix brackets as they love the way they look. They are more discreet than traditional metal brackets but in the hands of our specialist orthodontists, produce an excellent result for our patients.
