Most people aren’t naturally born with a perfect smile or ideal bite. That’s why traditional metal braces remain one of the most trusted orthodontic treatments — providing predictable, lasting results for patients of all ages.
At Winchester Orthodontic Practice, we use modern metal braces made from high-grade stainless steel, designed for comfort, durability, and effectiveness. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, metal braces offer a time-tested solution for creating a confident, healthy smile.
The most common time to begin orthodontic treatment is between the ages of 12 and 16, once most of the permanent teeth have erupted. However, adults can benefit just as much — it’s never too late to achieve a straighter smile.
Metal braces can be used to correct a wide range of issues, including:
Metal braces use a system of brackets, archwires, and small elastic bands to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. The brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth and connected by an archwire, which is adjusted periodically during your orthodontic visits to maintain progress.
Thanks to advancements in technology, today’s metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever before. You also have the option to personalise your braces with coloured elastic bands — a fun way for younger patients to express themselves with every appointment!
If you’re considering traditional braces, we’re here to help you make the right decision for your smile. Book a free consultation at Winchester Orthodontic Practice and let our specialist team assess your needs and recommend the ideal treatment plan.

I couldn’t be happier with my Spark Aligners! The team at Winchester Orthodontics made the whole process so easy and reassuring. The aligners were comfortable, discreet, and the results have been amazing. Thank you so much!
I've been the lucky recipient of the most amazing care and attention from Suzette, Stacy, Shelby and Shauna as they took on the unenviable and – I thought – virtually impossible task of straightening my teeth after many many years of hoping against hope that it could be done. Well, 15 months later, and they have literally transformed how my teeth look, and how I feel about how they look. The skill and dedication shown has been incredible and the results are unbelievably incredible. I wish I'd had it done years ago! I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them to anyone, especially those like me that have left it way too long until doing something about an issue that has troubled me for years and years. It has literally been a life-changing experience, one that has increased my self-confidence, all for the cost of one good holiday. Thank you, all of you – what you have done is amazing.
Everyone is so friendly and so easy to deal with. Always making sure I am happy with what is happening and with the results. Would recommend to everyone.

The team at Winchester Orthodontic Practice have looked after all 3 of our children. I can highly recommend them for their professionalism attention to detail, friendliness and efficiency.
Really great experience from start to finish. The whole team are friendly and give you confidence in their care with their kind and professional approach. All was explained in an appropriate way for both myself and Olivia to understand and all questions answered were delt with patiently and with great empathy. The end result is fantastic, Huge thanks.
You may feel some tightness or discomfort after adjustments, but it usually subsides within a few days. Modern brackets and wires are smoother and more comfortable than older designs.
