Q1: What are metal gold braces? Metal gold braces are traditional metal braces coated with a layer of gold. They combine the durability of metal braces with a more aesthetic and luxurious appearance, making them a popular choice for those wanting a unique orthodontic treatment. Q2: Are metal gold braces effective for alignment? Yes, metal gold braces are just as effective as standard metal braces in correcting alignment issues such as overbites, underbites, and crowding. Q3: What is the metal line behind teeth after braces? The metal line, often called a fixed retainer, is a thin wire bonded to the back of teeth to maintain their new position after braces are removed. It prevents teeth from shifting back. Q4: How long should I keep the metal retainer? Fixed retainers can be kept for several years or even permanently, depending on your orthodontist's advice. Regular cleaning and check-ups are essential.
