Proven Reliability. Precision Results.
While orthodontic technology has evolved, traditional metal braces remain the most popular and effective treatment for a reason: they work. At Colorado Orthodontics, we use the latest generation of low-profile, high-grade stainless steel braces to give you a straighter smile with more comfort and precision than ever before.
Why choose Metal Braces?
Many patients assume that “traditional” means “outdated,” but modern metal braces are a sophisticated orthodontic tool capable of correcting even the most complex alignment issues that other methods might miss.
Unmatched Versatility
- Metal braces are the “workhorse” of orthodontics. They can correct severe overcrowding, complex bite issues (like overbites and underbites), and vertical tooth movement with incredible accuracy.
Faster for Complex Cases
- Because they allow for constant, steady pressure, metal braces often achieve results faster than removable aligners for patients with significant alignment needs.
Durability
- Built from high-quality stainless steel, they are incredibly strong and won’t chip or break like some alternative materials.
Cost-Effective
- Typically, traditional braces are the most affordable path to a perfect smile, making them an excellent choice for families.
Your Braces, Your Style
One of the best parts of traditional braces? Personalization. Whether you want to show your school spirit, celebrate a holiday, or represent your favorite sports team, you can customize your smile at every appointment. Our “tie” elastics come in a rainbow of colors—from subtle silver to neon pink—allowing you to make your orthodontic journey uniquely yours.
