Birmingham & Milford Metal Braces
Time-Tested Treatment
At Degenhardt Orthodontics, we offer advanced metal braces designed for efficiency, durability, and precise tooth movement. With a sleek, modern design, our metal brackets and cutting-edge, high-tech orthodontic wires work faster and more comfortably than ever before.

Predictable, Personalized Treatment
Braces offer a level of control and precision that make them a great choice. Because they’re fixed in place, Dr. Steve guides every tooth into position—no need to rely on whether trays are worn correctly. That means more predictable results, especially for complex cases.
Plus, braces give you a chance to show off your personality. From bold color combos to subtle tones, you can customize your smile and change it up at every visit.
Do you want to show off your favorite color?! Do you want to support your school or your favorite sports team?! Ask to see our colorful braces model and an example of our color options!

Reliable Results, Comfortable Treatment
Built for Strength
Metal braces can handle even the most complex orthodontic issues, from overcrowding to bite misalignments. Their durability makes them a reliable option for kids, teens, and adults alike.
Designed for Comfort
Today’s metal brackets are smaller and smoother than ever, reducing irritation and improving overall comfort. Plus, with advanced archwire technology, treatment can progress more efficiently.
Precise, Reliable Treatment
Braces give Dr. Steve complete control over how each tooth moves, making them one of the most precise and dependable options available. Because they’re fixed in place, there’s no guesswork or patient compliance required—just consistent, reliable progress at every visit.

How Metal Braces Work
Step 1: Your Free Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Steve will evaluate your smile and discuss whether metal braces are the right option for you. A digital scan will be taken to create your personalized treatment plan.
Step 2: Attaching Your Braces
As easy as putting stickers on your teeth! This is a stress-free appointment!
Step 3: Regular Adjustments
Every four to eight weeks, you’ll visit our office so we can check your progress and make small adjustments to keep your smile on track.
Step 4: Finishing Touches That Matter
At the end of treatment, Dr. Steve carefully refines the shape and edges of each tooth—smoothing out chips or irregularities to create a polished, balanced smile.
Step 5: Your New Smile
Once your treatment is complete, your braces will be removed, and you’ll receive a retainer to keep your new smile in place.
