In fact the modern day braces are sleek and stylish and can move your child’s teeth more efficiently, effectively and comfortably than ever before. Though there are many options available out there, the traditional metal braces are by far the most common choice for kids. Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was wrapped around each tooth. Today, metal braces jazzed up with colourful bands make them fun and fashionable for your child to wear! Choosing colors gives kids a reason to be excited about their braces. So why wait?  Let kids have some fun with them and express themselves with a colorful smile!

How do these metal gadgets work?  Small metal brackets are glued to your child’s teeth and connected by wires. These work to move your child’s teeth, backed up with rubber bands to hold the two components together. Your child gets to choose the colors of the bands. The option of adding colored rubber bands helps to make a fashion statement and also add a little fun to the treatment. So, metal braces are not something your child needs to feel self-conscious about, but rather a chance to express themselves. Let your child embrace the change and smile throughout the treatment!
