Why Choose Metal Braces?
Metal braces have long been considered the gold standard in orthodontics—and for good reason. They’re incredibly effective, especially for correcting more complex alignment issues. At 303 Smiles, we use advanced brackets and archwires that are smaller, smoother, and more efficient than ever before.
Today’s metal braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than the ones you may remember from years past. They work by applying steady pressure to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Throughout your treatment, you’ll come in for regular check-ins with Dr. Straffon to track progress and make any necessary adjustments.
One of the best things about metal braces is that they’re incredibly durable. If you or your child is involved in sports or tends to be a little rough on dental appliances, metal braces are a solid, reliable choice. Plus, you can personalize your look with colorful elastic ties, which many younger patients love.
If you’re looking for a tried-and-true solution that delivers consistently excellent results, metal braces are a smart option to consider.
What to Expect During the Orthodontic Process
It all starts with a free consultation at our Greenwood Village office. During your first visit, you’ll meet Dr. Straffon and our friendly team. We’ll take time to learn about your goals, answer your questions, and make sure you feel completely comfortable.
We’ll begin with a detailed exam and take digital X-rays or 3D scans to fully understand your orthodontic needs. From there, Dr. Straffon will recommend a customized treatment plan that works for you or your child. This plan may include metal braces or another option depending on your smile goals and lifestyle.
Once you’re ready to begin, we’ll schedule your first appointment to place the braces and walk you through everything you need to know—from brushing and flossing tips to foods to avoid. Throughout treatment, we’ll see you every few weeks for quick adjustments and progress checks.
We know that starting orthodontic treatment is a big step, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
