Metal Braces

Metal Braces Philippines: Trusted Orthodontic Treatment at Affinity Dental Clinics

When it comes to orthodontics, few treatments are as time-tested and effective as metal braces. At Affinity Dental Clinics, we continue to offer traditional metal braces as a reliable and affordable solution for correcting teeth alignment, bite issues, and jaw irregularities. While newer technologies like clear aligners and ceramic braces are gaining popularity, metal braces remain the most dependable option for many Filipinos—especially for moderate to severe cases.

If you’re looking for a proven orthodontic solution that delivers results without unnecessary cost, metal braces in the Philippines may be your best choice.

What Is Metal Braces?

Metal braces are composed of high-grade stainless steel brackets affixed to the teeth and connected by a thin archwire. Elastic bands help secure the wire, and this system gently moves teeth into alignment over time. The wire is adjusted periodically to guide the teeth into their desired positions.

Despite being more visible than clear alternatives, metal braces offer precise control, strength, and versatility—making them a favorite among orthodontists for complex treatments.

Why Choose Metal Braces?

Highly Effective for All Cases

Metal braces are capable of treating a wide range of dental problems—from simple crowding and spacing to complex bite and jaw issues. They allow your dentist or orthodontist to make fine-tuned adjustments with greater control than other options.

Most Affordable Orthodontic Option

Metal braces in the Philippines are often the most budget-friendly orthodontic treatment, which is why they remain a top choice for families. At Affinity Dental Clinics, we help make orthodontic care accessible while maintaining the highest standards of treatment and materials.

Faster Results in Complex Cases

Because of their strength and precision, metal braces may help achieve results more quickly in severe or complicated cases compared to clear aligners.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Made from stainless steel, metal braces are resistant to breakage and are ideal for active individuals—especially children and teens.

Fully Supervised Treatment

With regular checkups and wire adjustments, your progress is closely monitored by licensed dentists at Affinity Dental Clinics to ensure consistent, optimal outcomes.
