Metal Braces for Patients from Audubon at Our Plymouth Meeting Office
Becker Orthodontics has been helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles since 2011, and we’re proud to serve families from Audubon at our Plymouth Meeting office — located at 1310 Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462. Metal braces remain one of the most reliable and effective orthodontic treatments available, and today’s braces are a far cry from the bulky hardware of the past. They’re smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before.
For patients from Audubon dealing with crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or other bite issues, metal braces offer a proven, cost-efficient path to a straighter smile. Dr. Ryan Becker takes a conservative approach to every case — treating only what’s necessary and creating a plan designed around your specific needs.
How Metal Braces Work
Modern metal braces consist of three core components: small brackets bonded directly to the teeth, an archwire that runs through each bracket, and ligature elastics that hold the wire in place. Together, these work continuously to apply gentle, controlled pressure that shifts your teeth into proper alignment over time. Dr. Becker uses high-quality stainless steel or titanium brackets — both durable and effective for a wide range of orthodontic cases.
Metal braces are the treatment of choice for more complex corrections, including significant crowding, crossbites, and malocclusions that may not be ideal for clear aligners. And for younger patients, there’s a fun perk: kids and teens can choose the color of their ligature elastics at each visit.
Advantages of Metal Braces
- Most effective option for complex cases
- Fixed treatment — no risk of losing or forgetting
- Cost-efficient compared to other options
- Works for children, teens, and adults
- Fun color choices for kids and teens
- Consistent results with regular check-ups
- No dietary restrictions can’t be managed with care
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessment allows Dr. Becker to identify developing issues and plan treatment at the right time — potentially making future care simpler and shorter.
