How do metal braces work?

Metal braces use durable stainless steel brackets and wires to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions. Each bracket is carefully attached to the front of your teeth and connected with an archwire, which is adjusted at regular appointments to keep your smile moving in the right direction.

With continuous gentle pressure, braces gradually align your teeth and correct bite issues like overbite, underbite, and crossbite. While children and teens are common candidates, braces in Darwin are just as effective for adults as well, offering life-changing results at any age.

  • Proven and effective for even the most complex orthodontic cases
  • Smaller, smoother brackets for improved comfort

Metal vs ceramic braces - which is right for you?

Metal braces

  • Highly durable and suitable for all treatment types
  • Usually the fastest option for complex orthodontic cases
  • More visible but can be customised with coloured elastics
  • Often the most cost-effective braces

Ceramic Braces

  • Highly durable and suitable for all treatment types
  • Usually the fastest option for complex orthodontic cases
  • More visible but can be customised with coloured elastics
  • Often the most cost-effective braces

At Darwin Orthodontics, we don’t offer standard ceramic braces. Instead, we provide LightForce™ 3D Braces - the world’s first fully custom-printed ceramic braces. These offer all the aesthetic benefits of ceramic braces while adding precision, comfort, and efficiency through 3D-printed customisation.

Choosing braces in Darwin, NT

When it comes to choosing between metal braces or ceramic braces, it depends on your needs, lifestyle, and goals:

  • If you want the most durable, versatile, and cost-effective option - metal braces are the way to go.
  • If discretion is your priority, but you still want the reliability of fixed braces - LightForce™ 3D Braces are the modern ceramic alternative.

Whichever you choose, our Specialist Orthodontist will ensure your treatment is personalised and effective, helping you achieve lasting results.
