Trusted Treatment with Self-Ligating & Twin Brackets
Metal braces at Hansen Miller Orthodontics provide a tried-and-true solution for aligning your teeth and improving your smile. And we offer the best in the field — self-ligating metal braces.
This treatment is a reliable and effective way to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, so you can smile big and beautiful, no matter what.
Classic Treatment With a Modern Twist
Metal braces have been a staple in orthodontic treatment for decades and with good reason.
At Hansen Miller Orthodontics, we use self-ligating braces, which feature a modern twist on the traditional metal braces. These braces consist of durable metal brackets attached to your teeth and connected by a thin wire.
However, unlike traditional braces that require elastic bands, self-ligating braces use a special clip to hold the wire in place, allowing for smoother and quicker adjustments.
Thanks to advancements in orthodontic technology, today’s self-ligating metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than ever before. They offer a highly effective solution for even the most complex orthodontic cases, giving you the straight, confident smile you've always wanted.
Modern Systems, Timeless Benefits
Improved efficiency? Check. More comfortable treatment? Also, check. Self-ligating metal braces offer the best of both worlds by applying steady pressure to gently and more quickly move your teeth into their ideal positions.
Let’s get the lowdown on some of the other advantages of modern metal braces.
No Elastics = More Comfort
On traditional brackets, elastics may have held the archwire in place — but they also held up your smile journey.
Without the need for elastics, self-ligating metal braces can move on their own, resulting in less friction and more comfort.
Treatment That Fits Your Schedule
With self-ligating metal braces, you won’t have to worry about wedging as many orthodontic appointments between soccer practices, dance recitals, Scout meetings, or play rehearsals.
That’s because Dr. Hansen, Dr. Miller, and the rest of our team won’t need to make as many adjustments or replace elastic ties — so you won’t need to visit our office nearly as often.
Fast & Friction-Less
Self-ligating metal braces decrease the amount of friction required to align your smile — so your teeth move faster as the brackets slide more smoothly along the archwire.
No-Stress Maintenance
Say goodbye to fighting food caught between your braces and navigating a toothbrush around mountains of metal.
Without elastics, the smaller self-ligating brackets are easier to brush and floss around — so you enjoy less stress and fewer cavities.
The Swiss Army Knife of Smile Treatments
From crowded teeth to spaced-out teeth, overbites to underbites, cross bites and all the bites, self-ligating metal braces work wonderfully well on a wide variety of cases — including the super complex ones — for patients of all ages.
