Lebanon & Zionsville Metal Braces

Modern Metal Braces in Central Indiana
The phrase “metal braces” once meant bulky brackets and long appointments. Not anymore. Today’s stainless‑steel systems are smaller, smoother, and smarter—designed to move teeth with less friction and more comfort.
In our Zionsville and Lebanon offices, we bond low‑profile brackets to each tooth and thread them with a shape‑memory archwire. As the wire returns to its ideal curve, it guides teeth into perfect alignment 24 hours a day.
Rounded edges spare your cheeks and lips, and you can even personalize your look with colorful bands—or keep it all‑silver for a subtler vibe.
Best of all, the built‑in self‑ligating door replaces elastic ties, so your braces stay hygienic and efficient from start to finish. It’s the classic power of metal—upgraded for the way you live now.
Big Benefits in Small Brackets
Self‑ligating metal braces bring together the two things every patient wants: efficiency and comfort. By applying steady, gentle pressure, self-ligating brackets move your teeth faster and more smoothly than traditional systems.
Here’s why they’re a favorite for families across Boone County.
More Comfortable
Older braces relied on rubber bands that tugged and trapped food. SmartClip brackets snap the archwire in place without elastics, cutting friction and easing pressure on your lips and cheeks.
Less Friction
With the wire free to slide, teeth move along their track more quickly—often shaving months off total treatment time.
Treatment on Your Time
No elastic ties means fewer adjustments. You’ll breeze through quick check‑ups every six to eight weeks and get right back to work, practice, or family time.
Simple Maintenance
Smaller brackets and no rubber rings make brushing and flossing a breeze, lowering your risk of cavities and keeping your smile bright throughout treatment.
Versatility for Every Smile
Crowded, spaced, overbite, underbite—self‑ligating metal braces handle routine to complex cases for patients of every age. If you can picture the perfect finish, these brackets can deliver it.
