Metal Braces That Create Confident, Healthy Smiles
Metal braces are a proven and effective orthodontic treatment for correcting alignment, spacing, and bite concerns. At Jacaranda Smiles, braces are carefully planned and monitored to ensure comfort, progress, and long-lasting results. Families across Broward County choose Jacaranda Smiles for braces treatment because of our experienced orthodontists and convenient locations in Plantation, Margate, and Pembroke Pines.
Our orthodontic team works closely with pediatric dentists to support children and teens through every stage of treatment, focusing on clarity, consistency, and confidence from the first visit to the final smile.
Metal Braces Correct Alignment and Bite Issues
Modern metal braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever. They allow precise control over tooth movement, making them ideal for addressing complex alignment and bite concerns.
Time-tested metal brackets remain an incredibly reliable, high-precision instrument for fixing complex alignment issues. By applying steady, calibrated forces to individual tooth roots, this treatment leverages the biological bone-remodeling processes thoroughly documented across peer-reviewed clinical data hosted by the World Federation of Orthodontists.
We take time to explain why metal braces are recommended, what the process looks like, and how we support comfort throughout treatment.

- Corrects complex alignment and bite issues

Top Ways to Ensure You and Your Braces Have a Good Relationship
You and your braces will become good friends over the coming months or years, so it’s important to get your relationship off to a good start. Consider the following recommendations to prevent rocky times ahead:
Floss, floss, floss. Yes, it’s a pain to floss around your braces, but it’s the best way to prevent gum disease and other oral health problems. Just a few minutes per day will ensure that you don’t face significant dental health issues when the braces come off.
Avoid sticky or hard foods. It’s tough to forgo toffee, caramel, gum, and other favorite sticky treats, but your braces will thank you. Sticky or hard foods can break a bracket or wire, so it’s best to avoid them altogether.
Chew with your back teeth. If you’re used to taking large bites with your front teeth, it might be time to switch your eating habits. Taking a large bite of food with your front teeth can leave your braces vulnerable to damage. Instead, cut large foods into pieces and use your back teeth to chew. This is especially important with corn on the cob, which should always be cut from the cob.
Wear rubber bands and headgear. Rubber bands, headgear, and other orthodontic appliances may seem annoying, but failing to comply with wearing them can increase the length of your treatment by months. Wear them now to avoid problems in the future.
