Metal braces

Metal braces, modernized

The most trusted appliance in orthodontics, now smaller, flatter and more comfortable than ever, and planned digitally for precise results.

Modern metal braces

Why metal braces still win

Metal braces handle everything: severe crowding, rotations, bite correction and cases aligners cannot finish. They are the most affordable option, they never get lost, and colored elastics make them fun for kids and teens.

At Payne Orthodontics your brackets are placed with digital precision using indirect bonding and 3D treatment planning, which means fewer adjustments and a shorter total treatment time.

What to expect

  • Free consultation with a digital scan and X-ray
  • Bracket placement in a single comfortable visit
  • Quick adjustment visits every 6 to 8 weeks
  • A free retainer when your braces come off, and a spot on the Perfect Smile Club board

  • Metal is stronger and slightly cheaper; ceramic blends in. See our comparison of clear braces versus metal, or ask at your free consultation.
