Traditional Braces

Traditional Metal Braces in Delaware

Traditional metal braces are the most widely used type of orthodontic treatment — and for good reason. Thanks to decades of advances in orthodontic technology, today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. At Stellar Orthodontics, we offer high-quality traditional braces at four convenient Delaware locations: North Wilmington, Middletown, West Dover, and Millsboro.

How Do Traditional Braces Work?

Traditional braces use a system of metal brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by a thin archwire. Over time, our board-certified orthodontists adjust the tension in the wire to gradually guide your teeth into their correct positions. Regular adjustment appointments (typically every 6–8 weeks) allow us to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.

Benefits of Traditional Metal Braces

  • Most Effective for Complex Cases: Metal braces offer the greatest level of control for correcting severe crowding, significant bite issues, and complex alignment problems.
  • Most Affordable Option: Traditional metal braces are typically the most budget-friendly orthodontic option, and we offer flexible financing to make treatment accessible.
  • Durable & Reliable: Metal braces are incredibly durable and fixed to your teeth — so there’s no risk of misplacing or forgetting to wear your appliance.
  • Works for All Ages: Metal braces are suitable for children, teens, and adults, making them one of the most versatile orthodontic options available.
  • Fun Personalization: Patients can choose from a variety of colored bands to personalize their braces — a popular feature with our younger Delaware patients.
