Metal braces are a time-tested classic in orthodontics. Approximately 80% of patients worldwide choose this method for bite correction. They are durable, reliable, effective, and the most affordable option. At the Doctor Dent clinic in Astana, we provide metal braces treatment for patients of all ages. Our orthodontic services focus not only on straightening teeth but also on creating a harmonious, aesthetic smile.

• Accurate Diagnostics is the foundation of a high-quality result. We perform CBCT (3D imaging), digital 3D scanning, and use an articulator for detailed treatment planning.
• No Extra Charges! The price includes all orthodontic visits, as well as the installation and removal of the bracket system. We offer transparent terms with no hidden fees.
• Complex Case? We Can Help! We take on orthodontic treatment of any complexity and work until the desired result is achieved.

Metal bracket systems are highly durable and efficient, making them suitable even for severe malocclusions. Modern systems allow for tooth alignment and bite correction in adults within an average of 1.5–2 years.

Metal Braces at Doctor Dent — Our Advantages:
— Experienced orthodontists with regular advanced training
— Bite correction for all ages, including complex cases
— World-class diagnostics: 3D tomography, articulator, facebow, and photo protocols before, during, and after treatment
— Partnerships with the world’s leading manufacturers of bracket systems

1. Initial Orthodontic Consultation: Assessment of the bite, smile aesthetics, and the condition of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A mandatory photo protocol and CBCT (3D scan) are performed. If necessary, diagnostics involve an articulator and facebow.
2. Tooth Preparation: Treatment of caries and inflammation, followed by professional hygiene. Teeth must be completely healthy before installation.
3. System Selection: We offer metal, ceramic, sapphire, and lingual braces, as well as clear aligner treatment. The doctor will select the optimal option and determine the treatment timeline.
4. Installation: Takes about 40 minutes and is painless. The tooth surface is prepared, and each bracket is fixed according to a pre-calculated plan. Precise fixation is the key to an effective result.
5. Adaptation: Lasts 3–7 days. Some discomfort during chewing and tooth sensitivity may occur. If necessary, the doctor will recommend pain relief.

A metal bracket system consists of the brackets (locks) and an archwire that moves the teeth. After diagnostics, the orthodontist may suggest:

• Lingual Metal Braces — fixed to the inner surface of the teeth, making them invisible to others. These are custom-made for each patient and are particularly effective for deep bites.
• Ligated Metal Braces — classic vestibular systems using ligatures (bands or wires) to secure the archwire. They are highly reliable but visible on the teeth.
• Self-Ligating Metal Braces — a modern option with built-in clips to hold the archwire. Treatment is gentler and often faster; the system is more comfortable and aesthetic.

Advantages:

— Hypoallergenic alloys
— High efficiency
— Affordable cost
— Suitable for complex cases

Disadvantage: They are visible on the teeth.

Metal braces are the most budget-friendly option among all orthodontic systems. Their cost is lower than that of ceramic or sapphire structures.

Before treatment begins at Doctor Dent, a detailed financial plan is drawn up and signed. The price depends on the complexity of the clinical case and the duration of the treatment.

How long does treatment last and how often should you visit the orthodontist? On average, up to 2 years. During the first half of treatment, visits occur once every 6–8 weeks. During the micro-aesthetics and final correction phase, visits are once every 2–3 weeks.
