Dr Dental, The Benefits of Having Traditional Metal Braces.
Traditional metal braces are normally the more affordable brace option, since these are the type of braces that dental insurance plans will provide coverages on, when it is an available benefit under the plan. Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are smaller and more comfortable then in the past. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
