Metal braces work by using small metal brackets that are bonded to each tooth, connected by a thin archwire. Gentle pressure from the wire gradually moves your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Elastic ties help hold the wire in place and guide the movement with precision and control.
Metal braces
Metal braces remain one of the most reliable and effective ways to straighten your smile - and today’s designs are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever. At Frankston Orthodontics, we offer modern metal braces tailored to patients of all ages, delivering trusted results with expert care right here in Frankston.

How do metal braces work?
Throughout treatment, you’ll visit Frankston Orthodontics for regular adjustments. At each appointment, your orthodontist will make minor changes to the wire to keep your progress on track. These visits ensure everything is moving safely and efficiently - helping you achieve a straighter, healthier smile with confidence.

Who are metal braces suitable for?
Metal braces are a reliable, versatile option for patients of all ages - from children and teens to adults starting treatment later in life. At Frankston Orthodontics, we recommend metal braces for anyone looking for a cost-effective, proven solution to correct a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, bite issues, and more.
Because they’re fixed in place, metal braces are a great choice for patients who prefer a hands-off approach to treatment. They’re particularly effective for more complex cases, and they give your orthodontist maximum control to achieve precise, long-lasting results. Whether you're starting early or finally doing something for yourself, metal braces can help you achieve the healthy, confident smile you deserve.
