Metal braces have been used for decades and are still one of the most common orthodontic options for both kids and adults. At Geyer Orthodontics, we often recommend metal braces because they’re reliable, durable, and consistently deliver great results. Their long history of success makes them a trusted choice for many patients.
Metal braces straighten teeth by applying gentle pressure over time. Brackets are placed on the teeth and connected with a wire, which is adjusted periodically to guide teeth into their ideal positions.
The cost of braces depends on your individual treatment plan. Factors like your goals, the type of tooth movement needed, and overall case complexity all play a role.
During your consultation, we’ll review everything with you and go over payment options so you know exactly what to expect. You can also visit our financial page to learn more about the flexible payment options we offer.
“How long will I need braces?” It’s a great question—and the honest answer is that it varies from patient to patient. Every smile is different, and everyone responds to treatment a little differently.
For most patients, treatment with metal braces typically lasts about 24 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer depending on individual needs.
A helpful tip: Following our instructions—like wearing elastics as directed and keeping regular appointments—can help keep treatment on track and may even shorten your time in braces.
