Traditional Metal Braces
The path to your best self starts with high-quality metal braces in Alexandria.
What are braces made out of?
Our high-quality braces are made of stainless steel material. Stainless steel braces are strong, won’t rust or corrode, and are safe to submerge in water (of course). Traditional braces use stainless steel brackets and archwires, with colored elastic rubber bands to secure the archwires to individual brackets.
We also provide clear braces, InBrace® truly invisible braces, BioQuick® self-ligating braces and clear aligners to match your style.
Your personalized treatment plan with metal braces
Throughout your braces treatment, every 6 to 8 weeks (depending on your personalized treatment plan), you’ll visit us to check in on your progress and adjust your braces if necessary. During these visits to our Alexandria orthodontist office, Dr. Lu will make sure that you’re on the fastest track to your new smile!
At your braces adjustment appointments, we may replace your archwire and adjust a bracket or two, and you’ll have the option to choose from a variety of metal braces colors to suit your style.
