Metal Braces
At Orthodontics at Parramatta, metal braces are a great option for children, teens and adults, which you can personalise with a wide range of colours.
How It Works
How do metal braces work?
Metal braces are one of the most popular choices for orthodontic treatment. They use small brackets fixed to the teeth and a wire that applies controlled pressure over time, guiding teeth into better alignment. From fixing crowded or gapped teeth to correcting rotations and bite issues, metal braces handle it all with reliable precision for patients of all ages.
- The mechanics are simple. Brackets are attached to the teeth, wires connect them, and those wires are adjusted across the course of treatment to move the teeth gradually.
- Orthodontic treatment also looks beyond the smile line: it can address bite function, jaw alignment, and issues that make chewing or cleaning difficult.
- An orthodontist will usually examine your mouth and face, take X-rays or digital models, and then map out a plan suited to your case.
Cost
How Much Do Braces Cost?
The cost of metal braces in Parramatta is shaped by a few moving parts: the complexity of the alignment, how long treatment is expected to run, and what is included in your plan. Some cases require more detailed adjustments and longer timelines, which can influence the overall cost.
At Orthodontics at Parramatta, the process begins with a consultation where your orthodontist maps out a treatment plan. This outlines each stage of care, along with a breakdown of fees.

Metal dental braces can be appropriate for children, teens, and adults, particularly where there’s crowding, spacing, protruding teeth, a poor bite, or asymmetry between the left and right side of the mouth. They may also help when orthodontic issues affect speaking, chewing, or breathing. Because treatment is personalised, suitability depends on the details of the bite and the amount of movement needed.
