Are Traditional Metal Braces Right For You?
Traditional metal braces are the most commonly used type of attached orthodontic appliance. They are made of a mix of high-grade stainless steel, nickel, and other metals, and consist of bands that wrap around the back molars, and smaller more discrete metal brackets that are glued to the front surfaces of the other teeth. The “wire” is thin and connected to the brackets by elastic ties. The wire is what gently guides your teeth into the correct position over time.
Since they have been around for close to a century, traditional metal braces are a dependable, efficient, and economical method that has stood the test of time. Previous versions of metal braces were bulky, awkward, and sometimes even overly painful. Fortunately, today’s versions are much smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Gone are the days of painful adjustments, as Dr. Henneberry has embraced new technology that gradually moves your teeth over time.

Traditional Metal Braces Reviews
The staff is so nice! They would ask if we had any questions we were well informed! Loved every minute of getting his braces on!
Good service with nice and friendly environment. As an adult, I feel embarrassed to put braces on again at my age, but Dr henneberry and his staff helped me, also he provided a hybrid solution for me to fix my teeth issue and care about the aesthetic thing. I’m looking forward to seeing the final treatment result.
I wasn’t able to take my child to get his braces put on and I had absolutely no hesitation except for of course, missing out!
literally the best orthodontist for my girl. we had to have early braces due to a tooth coming in completely sideways and she was always terrified of dental work. she goes back on her own now and doesn’t even need a hand to hold. they’re truly awesome!August 2026 update- second set went on and Davey was the best. My daughter said she wants her every time!
We have had an excellent experience with Henneberry Orthodontics! My daughter has just finished phase one of braces. Dr. Henneberry is so down to earth and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. The entire staff is so friendly and knowledgeable about the process. They are always smiling and happy!
