Metal Braces Treatment for Patients from Swedesburg
Becker Orthodontics is proud to serve patients from Swedesburg 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 — capable of addressing everything from mild crowding to complex bite issues like crossbites and malocclusions. Under the care of Dr. Ryan Becker (MSc, DMD), each patient receives a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve lasting, beautiful results.
How Metal Braces Work
Today’s metal braces are a far cry from what patients may remember from years past. Modern brackets are smaller, flatter, and significantly more comfortable, making the treatment experience easier for patients of all ages. Treatment includes high-quality stainless steel or titanium brackets bonded directly to the teeth, a thin archwire threaded through the brackets to guide tooth movement, and ligature elastics that hold the wire in place — kids can even pick their favorite colors. Patients come in every 6–8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks, and typical treatment lasts 18–24 months depending on complexity. Because braces are fixed to the teeth, there’s no risk of losing or forgetting to wear them, making them a consistent and cost-efficient solution.
Who Are Metal Braces Right For?
Metal braces are suitable for children, teens, and adults alike. They are particularly well-suited for more complex orthodontic cases where precision and continuous force are needed. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if treatment isn’t needed right away. Becker Orthodontics offers a free Growth & Development observation program starting at age 6, so your child’s smile can be monitored at no cost until the right time for treatment.
