Metal Braces for Patients from Gulph Mills
For patients from Gulph Mills seeking a reliable, time-tested solution for straightening teeth, Becker Orthodontics offers expert metal braces treatment at our Plymouth Meeting office, located at 1310 Germantown Pike. Today’s metal braces are a far cry from the bulky hardware of decades past — they’re smaller, flatter, and significantly more comfortable, while still delivering the precision results that make them the go-to choice for complex orthodontic cases. Whether you’re a parent exploring options for your child or an adult ready to address long-standing bite and alignment issues, metal braces remain one of the most effective and cost-efficient treatments available.
What to Expect with Metal Braces
Modern metal braces at Becker Orthodontics are made from high-quality stainless steel or titanium. Each system consists of brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by an archwire and secured with ligature elastics. This combination applies consistent, controlled pressure to guide teeth into their correct positions over time.
Metal braces are particularly well-suited for complex cases including crossbites, severe crowding, spacing issues, and malocclusions where greater precision is needed. Because they’re fixed, there’s no risk of losing or forgetting to wear them — which makes them an especially practical choice for younger patients. And kids love being able to choose the color of their rubber bands at each visit.
Advantages of metal braces:
- Most effective for complex bite and alignment cases
- Fixed to teeth — no compliance concerns
- Cost-efficient compared to aligner alternatives
- Suitable for children, teens, and adults
- Kids can personalize with rubber band colors
- Durable stainless steel or titanium construction
- Predictable, well-documented results
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessment allows Dr. Becker to monitor development and plan treatment at the ideal time — often before problems become more difficult to correct.
