Kingsport Braces
Easy Treatment for Everlasting Smiles
At Harville Orthodontics, metal braces are still a favorite among our patients. With technological advancements, today's metal brackets are more comfortable and efficient than ever. That means less discomfort and more smiles for you!
What Are Metal Braces?
Our metal brackets use high-grade stainless steel components and wires to align your teeth. This traditional orthodontic method has been around for decades, but modern versions are much more comfortable and effective.
Metal brackets work because they're durable and versatile, allowing for precise tooth movement. Dr. Harville attaches the brackets to the front of your teeth and then uses archwires to guide them into the right positions. This tried-and-true technique can correct many orthodontic issues, giving you the perfect smile you've always wanted.
How They Work
Metal braces use consistent pressure to move your teeth into place. Dr. Harville carefully adjusts this force during your appointments to ensure your teeth align just right. Over time, these gentle adjustments will guide your smile to perfection.
Brackets
Brackets are small metal pieces attached to each tooth. They're the foundation of your braces and hold everything together. Dr. Harville uses high-quality stainless steel brackets because they're durable and effective.
Archwires
Archwires connect the brackets and create the gentle pressure that moves your teeth. As your treatment progresses, Dr. Harville will adjust the wires to keep your teeth heading in the right direction.
Elastics
Elastics hold the archwire to the brackets. These small yet crucial elements come in various colors, allowing you to customize your braces and add a splash of personality. Changing them out during your appointments is one of the fun parts of the process.
