Metal Braces in Grand Rapids
Time-Tested Treatment
Grand Ridge Orthodontics and Dr. Rebecca Monticello offer modern metal braces for patients who need a durable, time-tested way to straighten their teeth.
With advancements in orthodontic technology, today’s braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever.
Better Braces Than Ever
Modern metal braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic treatments for correcting dental misalignments. Using a system of brackets, archwires, and elastics, braces apply gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment.
Today’s braces have come a long way from the bulky designs of the past:
- The brackets are smaller.
- The wires are more efficient.
- Your overall experience is much more comfortable.
What does all this mean for you and your family? For starters, you get a comfortable, more efficient smile treatment with smoother tooth alignment and less irritation to your gums and cheeks.
Dr. Monticello personalizes every braces treatment at our Grand Rapids office based on your needs.
Whether correcting bite issues, spacing problems, or severe misalignment, modern metal braces provide a proven and dependable path to a healthier, more confident smile.
Benefits of Metal Braces
Built for Strength & Durability
Modern metal braces are made from high-quality stainless steel, offering a strong and effective solution for even the most complex orthodontic cases.
Unlike removable aligners, braces remain in place throughout treatment, constantly working to shift teeth into their ideal positions.
Smaller, Smoother, & More Comfortable
Today’s metal braces feature smaller brackets and smoother edges, making them more comfortable than ever before.
With less irritation to the gums and cheeks, they provide a better overall experience while still delivering powerful results.
A Cost-Effective Orthodontic Solution
Compared to other orthodontic treatments, metal braces remain one of the most affordable and effective options.
Their ability to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues makes them a great choice for patients looking for high-quality results without unnecessary costs.
