Metal Dental Braces in Atlanta, GA
Metal braces are not just for children. Teens and adults also enjoy straighter smiles and more confidence after braces treatment. The residents of Smyrna, Vinings, and the surrounding communities in Atlanta, Georgia can now come to Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics for braces and other dental needs.
What Are Metal Dental Braces?
Metal dental braces are made from high-grade surgical stainless steel. Braces are attached to the teeth with steel brackets that are connected with metal wires. The tension on the wires and brackets slowly shift your teeth. Rubber bands or elastics hold the wire in place. Patients can choose from a variety of colors of elastics, which are changed at each appointment.
Benefits of Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of braces used today. Affordable and durable, these braces are used for a variety of patients. Metal braces also can be adjusted with a shorter timeline than other types of orthodontic procedures. Smaller and thinner than braces in the past, you will quickly adapt to having your braces.
Recovery from Metal Braces
While getting metal braces will not hurt, expect soreness in your mouth and teeth for about a week. You will quickly adapt to the feeling of having braces. If you experience areas of repeated discomfort, notify Dr. Lofters at your next appointment so he can adjust your braces accordingly.
How Much Do Metal Braces Cost?
The cost of metal braces will vary based on your needs. Braces may be covered by your dental insurance. We will work with you to determine your benefits coverage and what you may owe for your treatment. Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics offers to finance through CareCredit® as well as other payment options.
