Metal Braces Treatment In London – Trusted, Affordable Orthodontics
Why Choose Metal Braces?
Reliable fixed braces for precise tooth movement and complex cases.
Metal braces remain one of the most reliable fixed brace options because they give clinicians strong control over tooth movement. At Whites Dental, metal braces are used to treat a wide range of alignment concerns, from crowded teeth and gaps to more complex bite problems.
Precise control over teeth movement: Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires to move teeth gradually and predictably. This makes them especially useful when detailed tooth movement or bite correction is needed.
Faster treatment – Metal braces can often be faster than other brace systems such as clear aligners and even ceramic braces in some complex cases.
Suitable for children, teenagers and adults: Metal braces are commonly chosen for younger patients, but they can also be effective for adults who want a strong, cost-effective treatment option.
Often suitable for complex cases: When teeth need more controlled movement, fixed metal braces may be recommended over removable aligners. Your clinician will assess your bite, tooth position and treatment goals before advising which option is most appropriate.
Cost-effective treatment: Metal braces are usually one of the more affordable fixed brace options, with treatment at Whites Dental typically ranging from £2,995–£4,195 and 0% finance available.
Whites Dental provides metal braces treatment from our Waterloo and Marble Arch clinics in Central London. We also offer a full range of braces in London, including ceramic braces, Damon braces and Invisalign clear aligners.
What Issues Are Metal Braces Best For?
Crowded 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
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
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 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.
