Why choose metal braces instead of clear aligners?

Metal braces remain a widely used orthodontic option because they are fixed to the teeth full-time and use brackets and wires to move teeth in a controlled way. Unlike clear aligners, they do not need to be removed for meals or remembered throughout the day.

For patients with alignment or bite concerns that need a fixed appliance, metal braces are often worth discussing as a practical and dependable treatment option. The most suitable choice depends on the complexity of your case and what matters most to you during treatment.
