Metal fixed appliance orthodontics, commonly known as traditional braces, involves using metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth and correct bite issues.
The brackets are typically made of stainless steel and are attached to the teeth, while the wires are threaded through the brackets and adjusted periodically by your orthodontic therapist to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment.
This treatment is highly effective for correcting various orthodontic issues, such as overcrowding, spacing, misalignment, and bite problems. Traditional braces are often recommended for patients of all ages, including children, teenagers, and adults. They are durable, reliable, and more affordable compared to other orthodontic options.
While metal braces are very effective, some patients may find them less aesthetically appealing due to their noticeable appearance.

I would like to say thank you to Ros for everything that she’s done over the last 18 months and I am very grateful.
I may have been one of the longest servicing patient having started in 2012 but throughout my time there the staff, facilities and atmosphere was always 10/10.
I’d like to thank everyone for the patience given – I know I was a special case and requiring more than normal – but the team was great.
Thank you so much for your kindness and care during my journey of a perfect smile. I am more than delighted with the result.
Extremely happy with my result and how helpful Suffolk Orthodontics were throughout the whole experience.
Thank you to everyone, Lucy is the happiest, most enthusiastic person I have met. Their reception staff were friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to help. It’s been a fab experience.
