Why Choose Metal Braces?

Metal Braces London

Metal braces remain the gold standard for precise, reliable results. At our Central London clinics, every treatment is tailored, every result trusted – and every case overseen by expert orthodontists.

Very effective at moving teeth – metal braces are very effective at straightening teeth. They provide precise control over teeth movement to the dentist.

Shorter treatment times – metal braces move teeth faster compared to other braces. Treatment duration can vary from a few months to a little over a year for mild to moderate cases. Complex cases can take longer.

Perfect for complex cases – They are the perfect option from mild cases to cases requiring more complex teeth movement.

Affordable option – metal braces in London are one of the most affordable options for aligning teeth.

Very popular – they are most popular for straightening teeth with children and teenagers in London. They are also increasingly popular with older patients in London as well.

At Whites Dental, we have two clinics in London Waterloo & Marble Arch.

What Issues Are Metal Braces Best For?

Crowded Teeth

Metal braces can correct crowded and crooked teeth

Metal braces are ideal for severe crowding. They apply consistent pressure to move teeth into alignment, creating space where needed and guiding each tooth into position with precision.

Gaps In Teeth

Metal braces can fix gappy teeth

Whether you have one large gap or several small ones, metal braces can close spaces gradually and evenly – ensuring a more uniform, balanced smile.

Overlapping Teeth

Metal braces in London can correct teeth that are overlapping

Overlapping teeth can lead to wear, hygiene issues, and bite problems. Metal braces help straighten overlapping teeth with controlled, steady movement.

Bite Issues

Metal braces London can fix teeth with bite issues

Metal braces are one of the most effective ways to correct bite problems, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, and overjet – improving both appearance and function.

Whether it’s crowding, bite issues or gaps, metal braces continue to deliver precise, lasting results – which is why thousands of patients across London still choose them today.

 

How Do Metal Braces Work?

Metal braces use small stainless steel brackets and a flexible archwire to gently guide your teeth into alignment. Each bracket is fixed to the front of your teeth and connected by the wire, which applies steady, targeted pressure over time.

Here’s how they work, step by step:

Brackets & wire – Brackets are fixed to each tooth, with the wire threaded through them

Gentle pressure – The wire applies continuous force to move teeth gradually

Regular adjustments – Your orthodontist fine-tunes progress at each visit

Precise results – Every tooth is moved with care – from root to crown

It’s a simple, proven system that gives orthodontists full control over tooth movement – and patients reliable, long-term results.
