UNDERSTANDING METALLIC BRACES
Knowing the types of braces and their components:
Brackets: Dental crowns are attached to the front teeth with special dental cement and can be made of stainless steel, gold, titanium, or nickel. They have slots that allow an archwire to pass through.
Archwire: Braces are fitted with archwires. An archwire is a metallic wire that attaches to the braces. The archwire is called such because it forms an arch from one side of the mouth to the other, guiding and moving the teeth as they move toward their target positions. Archwires can be made of different materials and come in different sizes.
Orthodontic ligatures: When wearing braces, rubber bands hold the brackets and wires together to help straighten your teeth. Without them, the part of the archwire with tension is the only part that will actively align your teeth.
COST OF METAL BRACES IN AZ
Metal braces cost between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on where you live, the materials used, and other factors. These factors may include your insurance, whether x-rays and imaging are included in the cost, and whether any discounts are offered.
The most significant benefit of getting metal braces is their cosmetic appeal. But the health benefits are just as crucial since it will be easier to clean your teeth, leading to fewer cavities and better oral health. Therefore, getting this treatment is worth the investment of time and money.
