What are Metallic Braces?

Metal braces are what most people think when they hear “braces”. These are the tried and tested methods for correcting the alignment of the teeth and were the first type of orthodontic treatment intended for this purpose. These are made of high-quality materials like stainless steel, titanium alloys and are designed to resist corrosion. Metal braces consist of the following components.

Metallic brackets – Metal brackets are made up of stainless steel, titanium, gold, or nickel. Chromium is often added to prevent corrosion of stainless steel and molybdenum is added to prevent crevice and pitting. Brackets are attached to the teeth with the help of special dental cement that hardens when under a special visible light.
Archwire – An archwire is a wire that attaches to your braces. This is the main wire that acts as a track to guide the teeth in place. It will be changed periodically throughout the treatment as teeth are moved into their new position.
Orthodontic ligatures – A ligature is a thin wire that keeps the archwire in the bracket. It comes in many colors and can be replaced during each appointment. Ligatures aren’t needed in self-ligating braces.

Metal Braces Cost Saratoga

The cost of braces depends on where you are getting the treatment from, and the type of materials to use. Generally, you can expect to pay between $3,000 to $7,000. Other factors may affect the price such as your insurance plan and diagnostic tests such as x-rays and imaging.

One of the benefits of getting braces is that you’ll get a more beautiful and attractive smile. However, that’s just a part of the many benefits this treatment can offer. When your teeth are straight, and your bite issues are fixed it is easier to clean your teeth. This will lead to fewer cavities and overall a greater smile. Therefore the cost of this treatment is more than worth it.

Therefore, you need to make sure you are getting your money’s worth by looking for orthodontists close to your home or place of work to save time and money on transportation. Look for specialists who have promising reviews as well as financing options that will meet your needs and budget. We accept most PPO (and HMO if applicable) and offer in-house financing.

Dental Patient Reviews Saratoga

You can never go wrong with Dr Rong!!! He truly is the best dentist I’ve ever had, which is saying something because I’ve seen my fair share of dentists! He is extremely patient, gentle and seeks the absolute best for his patients no matter how many hours it takes. He worked tirelessly on one of my teeth striving for nothing short of perfection. His kindness and genuine care are truly a rarity. I HIGHLY recommend him and would give him a hundred stars if I could! Also he has a wonderful dental assistant, Maria, who is exceptionally competent and always on it!

I struggled for a long time before I decided to have my two bottom wisdom teeth extracted. Doctor Rong helped me with it. It really shocked me because it only took a few minutes to get it out and I didn‘t feel pain in the evening or the next day. My husband and my son kept asking me how I felt and they couldn’t believe. I know, even I can’t believe. Doctor Rong is extremely gentle, patient and he always listens to the customers for their concerns and expectations. The front desk Dee is very helpful and the whole team makes me feel very comfortable. I went to other dental centers before due to insurance change but I came back because Genuine Care Dental is the best and I feel most comfortable here.

Genuine Care Dental was great. I recently moved to the bay area and I can say that I have never had a dentist come out and greet me and talk through expectations in the waiting room for a cleaning. All the staff were very friendly, and the Dentist did all the cleaning himself while talking me through what he was doing and sharing tips and tricks. Overall 5 stars!
