What Are Metal Braces?
Metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to apply controlled pressure that gradually moves teeth into ideal alignment. Despite newer aesthetic options, metal braces remain the gold standard for precision orthodontics.
They are widely used in Korea for their strength, efficiency, and accuracy, particularly in complex bite correction cases.
Who Are Metal Braces Best For?
Metal braces are ideal for patients with:
- Severe crowding or overlapping teeth
- Significant overbite, underbite, or open bite
- Crossbite or jaw alignment issues
- Rotated or tilted teeth
- Orthodontic relapse after previous treatment
They are commonly chosen by teenagers and adults prioritizing results over aesthetics.
