Traditional Metal Braces
A Classic Choice for a Confident Smile
We offer traditional metal braces in Gardendale and Alabaster, AL!
Braces can help you achieve a stunning smile at any age — and with colorful rubber bands, you can customize your smile for a one-of-a-kind look.
What Are Braces Made Of?
Traditional metal braces are made from high-quality stainless steel — a strong, safe, and biocompatible braces material that’s built to last. Each small metal bracket is carefully bonded to your teeth and connected by a thin archwire that gently moves your teeth into alignment over time.
You may be wondering, “Are braces magnetic?” The answer is no! While stainless steel contains metal, it’s specifically formulated to be non-magnetic, making it completely safe for everyday life, airport scanners, and medical imaging.
Metal Braces Colors
One of the best parts about getting braces? Choosing your colors!
To hold the wire in place, we use small elastic ties — and this is where the fun comes in.
At each adjustment appointment, you’ll get to pick new colors for braces to match your mood, outfit, the season, or your favorite team. From bold blues and bright pinks to subtle grays or clear ties, there’s a bracket braces color for every personality.
Mix and match to create your own unique combination — or change it up every visit. Your smile, your style!
