Why Metal Braces?
Barakat Orthodontics offers metal braces, the most common type of braces, made of high-quality stainless steel or titanium. Metal braces are comprised of three main parts:
- Brackets are attached to the teeth with special glue that holds them in place.
- Archwires are made of thin, flexible metal that runs through the brackets and puts pressure on the teeth to guide them into alignment.
- Ligature elastics are the colorful bands or ties that secure the archwire to each bracket. The elastics are changed with each visit.
Metal braces are more comfortable today than ever before. Advancements in technology have produced brackets that are lower profile, smoother and just as durable as before. The elastic ties also add an element of increased comfort and style for patients as they are small and come in a variety of colors to please all of our patients.

Doctor and everbody super nice. I have been searching for orthodentist since last year until I found here. Explain the procedure very well and make sense to me. My daughter got her braces today,everybody kept check on her and explained over and over again with kindness. Very impressive. Thank you so much.
My daughter had the best experience at Barakat Orthodontics. I was initially nervous about her getting braces, but Amanda and Kelly made her feel so comfortable and at ease. She hasn’t stopped talking about how kind they were. Thank you for making the entire process smooth and painless.
We had such a great experience getting braces for my son! Dr. Barakat and staff were incredibly kind, patient, and made him feel completely at ease. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. His smile looks amazing—we’re so happy with the care he received!
What a wonderful team at Barakat Orthodontics! Had our first appointment for braces today and was amazed at the state of the art technology as well as the knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Lucky and blessed to have found this place!
This is a first rate practice and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for orthodontics. They are super knowledgeable, state of the art technology and made it super affordable for our 11 y/o daughter to get Invisalign vs braces. All the staff has been extremely friendly and down right amazing! Beyond impress. 👏👏
