Traditional metal braces have been a cornerstone of orthodontic care for generations, offering a proven, effective way to achieve beautifully aligned teeth and a healthy bite. At Star Orthodontics, we specialize in personalized orthodontic treatments that prioritize your comfort and results. Whether you’re dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, or bite issues, our traditional metal braces provide a reliable solution tailored to your unique smile needs. Made from high-grade stainless steel, today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and less noticeable than ever before, perfect for kids, teens, and adults seeking an affordable path to a confident smile.
Traditional metal braces stand out for their durability and efficiency in addressing a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Here’s why they’re a top choice at Star Orthodontics:
With a track record spanning over a century, metal braces deliver consistent results by applying gentle, continuous pressure to shift teeth into optimal positions. They're ideal for complex cases, including severe crowding or misalignment.
Compared to other treatments, metal braces offer excellent value without compromising on quality. The cost of metal braces depends on treatment length and complexity, making them accessible for families in Corpus Christi.
Whether for kids starting early orthodontic treatment, teens wanting customizable colors, or adults seeking discreet yet effective options, traditional metal braces adapt to your lifestyle and goals.
Add a personal touch with colored elastics that match your style or school colors, especially popular among younger patients.
Most patients see results in 12 to 24 months, with fewer adjustments needed thanks to modern designs that minimize discomfort and irritation.
We begin with a thorough evaluation, including digital scans, to assess your needs and discuss if metal braces are the best fit. Preview your potential results right away.
Visit us every 4-6 weeks for minor tweaks that guide your teeth progressively. Our team monitors progress closely, with options for remote check-ins when possible.
Small brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected by a thin archwire. We use gentle techniques to ensure comfort from day one.
Once your smile is perfected, we remove the braces and provide a custom retainer to maintain your results, part of our comprehensive retention program.
